TRIPPY Awards 2024 | You Be Trippin' with Ari Shaffir

Hi guys, welcome to a special bonus edition of Ubi Trippin'.

It's the end of year one.

What better way to wrap up a great first year than with an award show?

Welcome to the 2024 Ubi Trippin' Awards.

That's right.

This is the Trippies.

Play the music.

Now play the music.

Play it.

For now, though, for real.

Go play the music.

Where you been and where you going?

This is our Reese Travel Show.

Yeah, we're gonna go on a journey today and see what there's to see in this big world.

We're exploring different places, seeing all different types of faces.

We're gonna talk about travel today.

It's you be tripped,

you be tripped,

you be

tripped, and yeah.

Well, what a great year it's been, guys.

So, let's break it down.

First of all, thank you, Peppergoins, for making the theme music for this

stop

podcast.

We got to 100,000 subscribers.

That's a great first goal.

That's a great first goal.

We got it legitimately a day and a half ago.

Right in.

I wanted to get it by January 1st, and we got it.

Thank you very much.

Great first year.

Not the next 100,000 to 200,000.

Let's do the awards.

Great.

It's been a great one.

I want to first go down the list

and explain to you all the great episodes we had.

Let's start with number one: Andrew Santino, the Sicilian Islands.

Let's go over memories and then we'll go over the award shows.

Here's the awards as I see them.

Best pictures, worst trip, best guest, most surprising, dumbest move, best sexual adventure, best drugs, best meals, most adventurous, biggest piece of shit, and best trip and least adventurous.

It's Luis Gomez.

let's start with the episode one: Sicilian Islands with Andrew Santino.

That was a great one.

What a great way to get it started.

A guy who's a fellow traveler friend of mine, we talk about it all the time.

I've there's been multiple times on whiskey ginger, we've connected on this stuff.

I'm going and seeing the world and staying in hostels, and just like

he's a real like hippie piece of shit.

No one gives him credit for that because he plays golf and he seems like he's upscaled now that he's got money.

But he's like a hippie piece of shit.

He, if, if, I don't know if red hair can dread, hey, but if it could, he would have it in a different alternate universe.

And he went on his boat trip to the Sicilian Islands.

Episode one, it was so good.

It just felt like he saw the end of the earth.

And that was the first one where I got the idea that at the end of these, sometimes I just sit and sigh with the guest.

And that was one.

That was a great one.

Then Mark Norman in Australia.

Good pictures from Mark Norman.

Petting the Cuocas.

One of my biggest regrets in life is not petting those Cuocas.

Nope.

Solara from Mark Norman.

Dan Soder, Iceland.

Also great.

What a great trip to go see Queens of the Stone Age.

Germany, Kevin Ryan, age restricted on that.

I don't know why.

But

just talking about being there in Hamburg.

And we've got to do another one at some point.

Maybe a live one about Oktoberfest with some of the guys who have been there because

there's been a few.

That would be a good live episode.

And then maybe my, my, honestly, my gold standard for this podcast is Joe List in Peru.

If you haven't heard that one, go back and listen to it.

It's about this epic trip to Machu Picchu,

where the whole time he's just trying to get his chick back.

He's trying to get his ex-girlfriend back.

Spoiler alert.

He's married to someone else.

And along the way, you just sort of get a sense of like,

of what it was like on that hike to Machu Picchu and what it was like in Peru.

He got scammed hard.

Dumbest move nominee, Joe List.

The USO with David Tell, a so-so one.

I'll be honest with you.

Kenya with Monroe Martin, also a super jealousy-inducing one.

Being on a safari, seeing those good pictures in that one from Monroe.

In Nairobi.

By the way, neither one of us knew Nairobi

was a city and not the country.

He might have known, but I definitely did not until the episode came out.

And then the comments came and said, hey, you know, Nairobi is not a country, right?

It's Kenya.

And I'm like, yeah, I know that.

UK with Danny Brown.

Great one.

Tulum with Corinne Fisher and Christina Hutchinson.

That was interesting because

they went there during like the first week of COVID when it was cleaned out.

So they got to experience one of the first ones I do.

I had one with Yoshi coming, where it's like, you get to experience a city that doesn't really exist much.

The best one, which I can't get a guess, is Nazi-occupied Paris.

It'd be an interesting time.

Bangkok with Colum Terrell.

He's got to come back.

That was great.

What a piece of shit Column Terrell is.

Piece of shit of the year, nominee.

I mean, just getting hookers, skipping out on them, not paying a hooker in Thailand.

Dude, it's already third world.

And it's not a great job.

It's not a great job, and it's already third world.

And he's skipping out on that bill.

What a piece of shit.

Piece of shit nominee, Column Terrell.

Um,

India with Duncan Trussell, possibly, possibly trip of the year.

I mean, so connected to that place.

I can't think of a better place I'd want to go with Duncan than to India, at least on this podcast.

God damn.

I mean, he's made for that place.

The original white Buddhist

Jamaica with Louis Gomez convinced me to stay in Villas, maybe.

AFCAMSTA with KFC.

Yeah, where Bert Kreischer called him at Feidelberg and said, Hey, can you be ready in 24 hours?

Going to Amsterdam.

What a fucking fun trip that was.

Burt called in.

And then me.

I was a guest for the first time.

In the new studio.

No, Danny Brown was the first one not in the studio.

Oh, yeah, we should go to that.

Andre Santino, Australia, Iceland, Kevin Ryan,

Joe List.

David Tell was the first one in the new studio.

And then I left it, went back, Kenya in the old one, UK Danny Brown in the YMH studio before we built it up.

Bangkok in India, Duncan Trussell in front of the green screen, then me on China in front of the green screen.

Yeah, first one that I'm the guest on.

Hey, how would you guys have me write up when I'm the guest, when someone else is interviewing me?

Because I think people aren't noticing.

We got another one coming.

January 6th one is me and Paul Morrissey, but it's a me trip.

It's a two of us together going to Switzerland.

And it's, guys, it's going to be a great one because that's the trip that got me started traveling.

And we talked about how we made these plans and how we decided, like, let's see the world after this.

We got flown to Switzerland for a comedy festival.

We stayed for like three weeks.

We were there for like five days.

We stayed for three weeks.

Went to Amsterdam after that.

And

anyway, watch that one.

Start the year right.

That's going to be a great one.

Cambodia with William Childress.

William is the one who brought me to me and told me about me and Mario's living there.

Brought me to Bangkok to play.

William Rules smoking opium at Ankar Watt.

Commuter de Santiago with Jasmine Shah, where she hiked the fucking 30 days from

France to Spain.

Brazil with Matt McCusker.

Piece of shit of the year possibility.

Morocco with Zane Jareski.

First remote one.

First remote one.

Oh, Matt McCusker was the first one with the studio built up, right?

I believe.

I believe, yeah.

The new YMH studio built up.

Yeah, Morocco is Zane Jareski.

We did it in a hostel in Paris.

And,

man, what a good time.

What a crazy trip to Morocco.

He's still traveling, Zane.

Still out there.

Then Ibiza was Sal Volcano.

Last one in the old studio, I think.

Is that right?

No, it's not.

Piece of shit of the year nominee for a trippy.

Just a piece of shit, club guy.

Dominican Republic with Ian Law.

Solomon, Russia with Daniel Sloss.

Interesting.

Talking about the gays who can't admit they're gay, but can in private, but not on stage.

India with Louis Katz.

Follows the same fucking scams that Duncanfeld with the shit shoe.

Wushi China with Simeon Goodson.

He lived in China.

Paris, France with Mark Norman.

Not as good as his first one.

Decent, but not as good.

Greece with H.

Foley, I love because that was.

I think that was the first one in the new studio.

It was.

Built-up new studio.

Because, listen, he's not a crazy traveler, but he really tackled his fucking fears and went for it.

And that's what this is all about.

Get your passport.

Get out into the world.

Have a good time.

By the way, my new special is coming

January 14th.

You can now click on Netflix and go, hey, I want to watch that.

Like, remind me.

Go find America's Sweetheart on Netflix.

Enter it.

Do me a favor.

Hit remind me.

And then the day it airs, January 14th,

it'll just tell you, hey, that's that one you saved.

And I think the way it works is like if a bunch of people watch it once early on,

then it tells other people, hey, everyone seems to be watching this right away.

And also let it play all the way through when you press play.

Even if you can't watch it all the way through, just let let it keep playing.

You know what I mean?

Like leave and let it play.

Fucking dumb algorithm.

We're slaves to computers.

Then Rob fucking Lowe, get of the year.

Brat Pack?

Member of the Brat Pack, Rob Lowe?

How am I getting that guy?

And by the way, so they were like, hey, can you guarantee?

Because he's got a new show coming out.

He wants to promote it.

And I was like, sure.

They go, can you guarantee

that he'll be on next week?

And listen, guys, I do these way ahead of time.

If you haven't noticed, I've been doing them way ahead of time.

By the way, solid move.

I mean, I was recording these

almost a year out.

Not every week, but sometimes.

Learning, getting the right ones, getting the right order.

If I have two people doing, you know, Australian row, I'm not going to put them out in a row.

I'm outside the box.

So they say, can you guarantee?

And I'm like, not really.

I mean, what if it's bad?

If it's bad, I'm not going to put it out.

Oh, I buried a few, by the way.

Insider knowledge.

I buried a few of these that were just like not very good.

They were just kind of boring.

I don't do resorts anymore, and I'm done with Amsterdam.

I did my last Amsterdam.

It hasn't come out yet.

And I'm like, it's all the same story.

It's all just the same story, bro.

I got too high.

Can you believe it?

I get it, but like

there's one coming with the Netherlands with Emma Wilma, which is good, which is not that at all.

And like,

some Lesbo shit going on there.

But yeah, Rob Lowe.

So they're like, can you guarantee he'll be on this week to promote it?

I was like, No.

So, everyone who asked me, like, can I get on a promote special?

I'm like, dude, I'm like 20 weeks out.

Like, no, these are all evergreen.

It doesn't really matter when you do them.

We don't talk about politics by design.

And they, and I was just like, all right, let's just say I will.

But, and man, it was so good.

There's something about connecting on travel that when you connect with somebody on it, it's just like you could talk about anything.

And the way he kept saying it is like, guys, yeah, I don't travel the way poor people travel.

I get not everyone can do this.

He was like,

dude, I listened to two albums in a row once, two vinyls in a row.

One was

Bill Cosby got at a fire sale

in

San Francisco.

Like an absolute fire sale.

25 cents each.

Some were 10.

Just fucking trying to get rid of them.

I mean, San Francisco is a very liberal area that hates that Bill Cosby stuff.

You know, used to love him as an academic, a successful black, and now they're like, oh, we can't.

So we have to get rid of it.

So I bought a bunch.

Why not just throw them away?

I mean, how much do you need to make a profit?

Just chuck them.

So

everyone has morals and still money's involved.

And then it all goes out the window.

We don't like doing this, but this guy's making us money.

You know what I'm talking about.

It's not a great example here.

So I listened to that, and then a Sam Kinnison album in era.

Wildly different takes, wildly different styles.

Bill Cosby's great at setting a picture, really putting your head like what's going on.

Setting a scene.

Slow, long stories.

And Kinnison's just bop, bop, bunch, just out of the gate, just punching so hard.

And

what was I going to say?

Yeah, but one thing I noticed with Kinnison that I really liked was that he didn't apologize.

Do you know what I mean?

I say that a lot in comedy today, and I'm sure I've done it too.

I definitely have a bunch of times where I'm like, listen, I'm not saying not everyone's equal.

I'm just saying sometimes, you know, they should keep the this or the, you know, I'm not saying women can't do anything, but I'm just saying, blah, blah, blah, here's the punchline, here's the shitting on them.

Sam didn't even go for it.

He was almost like, with an understanding of the crowd, like, you know, I'm joking, but it's also based on my real feelings.

So, yeah, I'm just going to say, like, I fucking hate women or whatever.

They asked him once why he only does jokes about women and not men, also.

It's a spliff.

And he said,

a man has never wanted me to drive my car into a tree.

Is this recording?

It is.

Where's the bottom there?

Ooh, back there.

Okay.

Anyway, he was never like, oh, I'm so sorry about this.

Wait, why did I say that about Sam Kinnison?

Connecting, no wasting time.

Rob Lowe.

I don't know.

But on the way to, he said, can I smoke a cigar in your studio?

I'm like, bro, that's why I cleaned out like a place and made it like a living situation instead of an office.

Because, yeah, for sure, I want to smoke a cigar.

First cigar I smoke.

We fucking.

You step back and say, Rob Lowe.

I'm not supposed to ever meet that guy.

I'm definitely not supposed to connect with him on some level.

Oh, that's why.

Because he was like, listen, I know not everybody can travel this way.

You know, get a private helicopter and see all of Egypt in three days.

But I have means, so I did it.

Hey,

get out of there.

No digging.

Rob Lowe is a great one.

We're about halfway through now.

David Cross doing asset in Turkey.

Possible piece of shit of the year award.

The trippies.

Worst trip, best guess, most surprising, dumbest move.

Biggest piece of shit.

David Cross, nominee.

Okay.

um, what do we got?

David Cross, Paris Olympics, Tom Shar, not a great one.

Everyone is mad, he chewed gum the whole time.

I didn't even know.

We're just having a conversation.

It was interesting, though, but they didn't really let him leave the Olympics.

I was hoping he'd be fucking some gymnasts from Russia.

But it was cool to have a guy just back from the Olympics right then.

I like that.

Greg Fitzsimmons, Ireland, possible guest of the year award.

Hey, guys, no.

Possible guest of the year award.

I mean, that was fucking sick.

19-year-old piece of shit, Greg Fitzsimmons, writing a love letter to some chick.

A whole script that he fucking.

No, that was Shane.

No, that was Greg.

A whole script to a lady and handing it to her because he was in love with her.

Talking, some pasty-faced, orange-haired lady?

Oh, maybe best moment of the year was when he showed me that fucking commercial.

I like those odds.

I thought he wouldn't go bald.

Can you believe it?

Yeah, that was a great one.

I mean, pictures too.

Oh,

and it just goes to show you.

You could do one from so long ago, and it's still really good.

Okay, I'm going to come over here and do the rest of this.

Close to the camera.

Keep going.

Keep it going, though.

Oh, yeah, I can put this here and read it.

Oh, yeah, buddy.

Oh, yeah.

I do this DIY, everybody.

Because

there's no why I like DIY.

Stupid.

Oh, we should do pass commercials of the year.

Why don't you guys vote on that?

Leave a comment on YouTube with your vote of the year.

I mean, commercial of the year.

I had a bunch of ones for Shopify that were pretty fucking good.

Put this over here so I can see it.

Oh, yeah.

Can I read that?

Yeah.

Almost.

Okay, what do we got?

Tom.

Hey, buddy, chill.

Greg Fitz.

Sean Patton, Cuba, Piece of Shit of the Year Award.

Possible worst sexual adventure award.

Hookers are always going to be up there.

I'm surprised we didn't get more hooker stories.

I think people are embarrassed, to be honest.

I think they're a bit embarrassed.

Sean Patton,

Spain with Shane Gillis.

Dumbest move, possible award nominee.

Overdosing on ham.

Possible dumbest traveler move of the year, but also great trip.

Possible trip of the year.

Let's nominate him for trip of the year.

Best picks, no, worst trip, best guess, most surprising, dumbest move, best sexual, best drugs, best meal, most adventurous.

I'm going to put him into most adventurous.

Shane.

Biggest piece of shit.

Best trip.

Yeah, Shane.

He'll be in there.

God, that was a fucking good one.

A fucking, pretty much a year abroad.

In the best possible time to do it, too.

Then Joey Diaz talking about coming to America and all that stuff.

That was fucking great.

I mean, obviously, I had to try to find Joey Diaz a way in.

And he was a ski bum.

I've known that guy for 25 years.

How did I never connect on that?

He's been with me through multiple broken bones from skiing and never mentioned not only that he has skied before, but that he was addicted.

What?

Big Jay Oakerson, very interesting trip.

Possible worst trip award.

Going to South Africa in the days before cell phones when his chick found out that he had been cheating on her and then immediately had to leave and go to South Africa around the world.

I mean,

oh, Big J.

That was such a fucking good one.

And it kind of goes to show you that it's like, it's kind of what this podcast is all about.

Maybe I'll stand here and get a little, zoom it out a little bit.

Yeah, that's what I'll do.

Okay.

Yeah, that's got to be good, right?

Let's see.

Yeah,

should be good um

yeah it's not about exactly like what there is to do in these places it's not what it is obviously you're gonna get some of that the the joe list machu piccha thing is a lot of instruction not on purpose about how to do machu picchu which which route to take all that stuff um

but But oh, one thing I got to get better at is bleeping out names of like specific hikes, specific trips.

I don't want to ruin any of these places.

I don't have any part in it.

I I know people are like, well, who cares?

It's only a few people.

It's just, it's getting it started.

It's like you don't litter in Joshua Tree.

You don't throw your, it's like, who cares?

It's such a massive park.

Who's going to see it?

It's just like, you don't do that.

Find your own place.

It's fine.

Those guys did.

Go to Lonely Planet.

Find the tourist ones.

But you want to be able to protect the place that no one knows about.

That's how I feel.

So I'm going to do a better job.

Not things like Eiffel Tower or the Louvre, but like...

little small towns to stay in.

I mean, Anthony Bourdain knew this when he was talking to that that chick who killed him.

And he was like, she was like, oh, let me name the restaurant.

He goes, no, don't.

What do you want?

A line of American tourists around the block?

And here, this is a classic Italian place.

It's not in need of money.

You go to a high-level nightclub.

Oh, bleep that.

In Germany, they don't want tourists there.

They're packed.

They've turned tourists away.

They don't want them there.

They're fucking up the line, to be honest.

22.

Let me make a note of that.

Okay.

So, anyway, it's about when people do this.

So, you're going to get some tips on Machu Picchu from Joe List.

Naturally, you're going to get some tips from people.

I say, like, I did this and this.

It's like, oh, cool.

I want to do those things too.

But also, it's just about their experience.

So, it's not what to see in Ireland.

It's just where

Fitzsimmons happened to stop.

I'm sure I'll do one on the Great Ocean Road that I did in Australia.

I just stopped at places.

It wasn't like what you're supposed to do.

It's just like, this is what I did.

You want to go, buddy?

No.

Okay, stay with me.

So, Jay, it's like, wait, we better barely got to know any of South Africa, but we got to know what he did.

And what a fun and weird trip to South Africa.

Because also, everyone's trip to different places is going to be different.

I told you, my Paris is taking a writing class.

Norman's was all romantic.

Sam Talent coming soon.

Fun seeing sights.

Tommy Tiern.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.

God, what a good run.

Joey Diaz, America.

Big J.

Stavros Halkias, Greece.

Oh, learning how to become a man in Greece.

Harlan Williams,

trip of the year nominee for sure, around the world.

He was like, I was like, dude, I only do one country usually.

And he goes, I think I had a different idea.

And I was like, well, you just kind of centered on one country.

You know what, bro?

You know what you're doing.

You're great.

Go ahead.

Fine.

If that's what you want to do, we can do that.

And told me about this trip around the world that he got on a National Geographic for 30 grand on a 30-day trip to there was like 15 countries.

Oh my God,

what a trip.

And every time you think Harlan Ziggs and Zags, I mean, he's Zags.

And just when I thought I knew he was going jokey, to go serious with a poem,

I mean, I was a moment of the year.

I mean, let's call it that.

There's probably a couple moment of the year nominees.

Fitzsimmons.

Reading me the showing me the ad for his hair loss.

And

Harlan with his that poem at the end, ah, yeah, he came in, he was looking at the map, and I was like, You've been in these places because the map draws you in.

And he goes, Yeah,

all of them.

I'm like, What do you mean?

He goes, Pretty much everywhere, dude.

I love, I love going places, and I was like, Oh,

yeah, he's got to come back.

Rolf Potts, Syria.

The fucking list goes on.

Rolf Potts doing a backpacking trip when he was a fucking young lad

in Syria, staying in a monastery.

Best meal, best meal nominee for sure.

Him up there in a monastery in Syria eating free food in the mountains.

Yeah, what a trip.

I mean, Rolf, obviously, massive influence on me.

I'll have him back a thousand times.

If you haven't never checked out his podcast, I've been on there like four or five times.

Deviate with Rolf Potts.

And obviously, read his book that I reference all the time,

Vagabonding and the Vagabond's Way.

I told you this a bunch of times.

I read Vagabonding when I was on an island in Cambodia.

On Cambodia?

On an island in Cambodia.

Finally, settled in there, like, I'm not gonna do anything, just get a mixed drink, get some Loklock.

They make it with fries instead of rice.

Weird.

Yeah, and I was like, I read his book for I was carrying around for two countries

all through Myanmar.

Did I go to Cambodia next?

No, Thailand next.

Didn't read it.

Then

Cambo.

My fuck, I got to know what that trip was.

It might have been Indonesia first.

Who knows?

No, Indonesia had to be last.

Anyway, read his book.

Whatever.

Old skeptic tanks.

Go check those out too.

Rolf Potts, Somalia with Tommy Tiernan.

Saddest trip, maybe possible worst trip of the year.

Just seeing poverty in Somalia.

Great guy.

Dan St.

Germain back to Ireland that was a great one

I really liked that one.

I knew that was going to be a strong one.

I don't think anybody, many people watched it, but that was a really good one.

Shitting naked, just having an emotional connection to a new place.

Southeast Asia will do that.

And then the Wonton Dawn finally got him on for Laos.

God, he's got to come back.

What a real traveler that guy is.

And what a weirdo.

So now, let's get to the trippies.

Okay.

Best picks.

Mark Norman on Australia.

Dude, those are great ones.

Him with the Cuoca was fucking great.

Him with the Cuoca was great.

Him just all over was great.

Yeah, he had some really good ones there.

Seeing all the birds.

Bobby Kelly from this last trip to Cuba.

I mean, it's partially me having pictures, partially him, but I mean, they were just laced in.

If you guys haven't seen that one, it was two ago.

Also, go see Bobby Kelly's special Killbox.

Now, I finally convinced him to get it uploaded onto YouTube.

Killbox, directed by Louis C.K.

But it was just woven into the whole thing.

We had a fucking blast for six days, and it wasn't even like some, so some of these are are going to be like fresh right when they get back, like Norman's Australia trip.

And then some of them are going to be like way, way later.

We're never going to get as fresh as, hey, we're still there.

God, that was a good one.

Me dancing with that lady at the fucking Buena Vista social club.

I mean, dipping her.

It was such a fucking fun trip, bro.

It was such a fun trip.

When I got back, I was like, I don't want to be.

I called Bobby.

I was like, dude, I don't want to be here.

I don't want to be here anymore.

I like it now again.

Best picks.

Beat Bobby Kelly.

Harlan Williams from his trip around the world.

God damn, those are great pictures.

Him petting a baby rhino.

Him getting the picture of that guy picking his nose.

One of the best pictures possible.

The pick of the year nominee.

Bobby Kelly's me

dancing with that girl, also pick of the year nominee, even though it's a video.

Monroe Martin on the Serengeti or whatever the fuck it is.

Pick of the year nominee.

Just makes you jealous just looking at it.

Sunrise or sunset over the, in Safari.

Sal Volcano, all of his pictures from Ibiza with him as a fucking club kid.

What a human piece of shit that Sal Volcano is.

I mean, what a legitimate garbage piece of shit he is.

And no one gives him credit for being such a fucking piece of shit.

And then Jane Jareski from all this pictures from Morocco.

I mean, making bread, tilling the soil, getting dressed up for Eid, Eid, Eid, something like that.

Okay, let's get, let's, let's name him after it's worst trip:

Zane Jareski

almost getting married off of Morocco.

Great trip, but terrible trip.

Tommy Tiernan going to Somalia to see literally suffering and poverty.

One of the worst trips I could imagine going on, but

Big J.

I already told you going to South Africa in the midst of being in the craziest doghouse possible with his chick

and having to like get minutes to call her to get yelled at every day.

Ho ho ho!

I think that's it for worst trips.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Dr.

Lewis, you know, KFC.

Yeah, I think that's worst trips.

I mean, Tom Scharr won a silver medal at his trip.

That's pretty cool.

Best guest, Harlan Williams.

I mean, funny, interesting the whole way.

Shane Gillis, obviously always hilarious.

Generational fucking charisma in a fat disappear.

Hey, hey, hey.

In a disgusting body.

Everything he's gotten has been.

You could not imagine by looking at his face.

That's how talented he is.

Halftard.

Successful.

But great fucking trip.

And jealousy-inducing.

Duncan Trussell on,

I mean,

he's so good at describing

all that emotional stuff.

Because everyone else has these emotional moments on trips, and they don't know how to say it, but Duncan gets right to it and just puts you there.

Matt McCusker in Brazil,

just funny and just, also, what a piece of shit.

Santino talking about those Sicilian islands.

God damn.

Joe List,

who

funny about that trip to Machu Picchu.

And just like talking about shit, shitting on himself the whole time, just on his, down on his luck while he's at Machu Picchu.

Rolf Potts in Syria,

finding out about that, they're way into the NBA and stuff there.

Colin Tyrrell about Bangkok and Watan Don about Laos.

Whew, those are all great guests.

Most surprising, Harlan.

I put Shane, but I kind of knew, I knew about this trip from Shane.

Always and so even when I was like thinking of starting this podcast, I was like, no, I'll get Shane on to do that.

That's an interesting trip for sure.

So, I guess I'll take that off most surprising.

Sal with a Biza, one of the most surprising ones.

I'm taking Shane off,

Sal, and then

maybe Zane Jareski, yeah, maybe Zane because you guys were, you don't know him, and you're like, this won't be crazy.

It was so good.

One of the greatest trips I could ever hear about.

I'll do Zane.

Dumbest moves.

Okay, we got a few.

Shane overdosing on Hamon

till his tongue dried up.

Duncan Trussell getting shit sprayed on his shoe and falling into the scam to help him clean it up.

Louis Katz

in India, also in India, just like Duncan Trussell, getting shit sprayed on his shoe and having to pay to clean it up.

Me for paying $140 Canadian dollars for a 10-pack of clear.

I mean, not even like I'm suspecting they're fake.

I mean, like, yeah, we all know they're fake.

And still somehow getting roped in to Joe Buzz

master, servant,

just to get out of there.

Has Bobby Kelly did nothing to help me.

Dumbest move, I'll admit it.

And then Joe List changing money in Peru, falling for a scam that he has no idea.

That's sexual adventure.

Sean Patton, hooker.

Matt McCusker, hooker.

Joe List trying to get laid by a girl in a tent while she has violent diarrhea.

And then Shane Gillis not trying with that chick, and

with that teacher that he had a crush on, and Greg Fitzsimmons giving away his script to a woman he had a crush on in Ireland at 19.

He'll never get that back.

Best drugs, Wonton Dunn, obviously.

Zane Jareski.

Oh, yeah, doing all that hash and stuff in Morocco.

Just at the fucking...

God damn.

David Cross.

Acid in Turkey.

Dude, adventurous guy.

He's got to come back.

And William Childress, smoking opium at the fucking whatever.

Oh, what a great podcast we've done.

Best meal.

Shane Gillis, again, with his hormone overdose.

Rolf Potts and the Syrian Mountaintops.

We had some good

meals, though.

We had some good meals.

Hold on.

Soder on Iceland.

We had a good one.

We talked about that.

Duncan was talking about the Indian food.

I think.

Maybe, maybe I have not had that many great Indy, like

food stuff.

Mark Norman, Paris.

Yeah, little little food.

Eh.

All right.

Guess not.

Shane Gray.

Okay.

We should start naming these.

Okay.

The trippies.

Best pictures.

Norman, Robert Kelly, Harlan Williams, Monroe Martin, Sal, Zane.

Let's eliminate Monroe Martin.

He had one great one, but.

Sal, piece of shit.

Honestly, he had more pictures.

He wouldn't let me show you guys.

He was like embarrassed about how he looked back then, which is like, I guess, more of a piece of shit than now.

He looked older then, to be honest.

Take Norman out.

So it's Robert Kelly, Harlan Williams,

Zane Jareski.

That's a tough one.

They were all pretty great.

I think it might be.

Overall, best picks was the Robert Kelly Ari Shafir episode of Cuba.

It could be Harlow Williams.

It could be Zane, but I know no of you guys know him, but those were great pictures.

Worst trip, Zane, Tommy Tiernan, Big J.

I'm going, I'm going Big J because Tommy Tiernan at least was there feeling like he's doing something.

Jay, this is hell.

It was just hell.

Worst trip.

Worst trip.

Hold on.

It's Big J Oker said.

Congratulations, Big J.

You've just won 2024's first Trippy Award for worst trip.

Best guests: Harlan Williams, Shane, Duncan, Matt McCusker, Shantino, Joe List,

Rolf Potts, Column Turrell,

or Wonton Don.

It's Harlan.

It's List.

It's Harlan or List.

Or Duncan.

Harlan, List, Duncan.

Damn.

That's a tough one.

I'm going to get back to that.

Harlan.

Joe List.

Duncan.

Most surprising.

Harlan, Zanjareski, or Sal?

I mean, Harlan Williams.

It's Harlan Williams.

Most surprising, like, just trip in general.

He's such a traveler.

One, that's a huge surprise.

And two, this trip was fucking, I didn't know it existed.

And also, you're telling me you're not going to pick a country and it's still going to be good.

That was the issue with Rob Lowe.

He's like, yeah, we should have just stayed in Egypt the whole time.

Or, or any of them were like, I went through Europe or went to whatever.

It's like, nah, we should just stay in one place.

But he didn't stay in one place and it was amazing.

Most surprising.

Harlan Williams.

Congratulations.

You've just won your first Trippy Award.

Dumbest move.

Shane's overdose on Hamon.

Duncan's shit shoe.

Louis Katz's shit shoe.

I don't think I can give either one of them because it's such a dumb move, but both of them fell for it.

So, how dumb could it be?

I lost

$140 Canadian dollars for fake cigars.

By the way, I smoked half of them.

The other half got confiscated at the airport.

If I didn't have those, I could have gotten away with the other ones.

More likely to have gotten away.

Joe List changing money.

Say Shane's Hamon, maybe.

Damn.

Shane's Hamon with the dumbest move.

Nah.

I mean, a hundred and forty dollars, and I'm supposed to be a traveler.

It's me.

Joe List changing money.

Shane's Hamon.

I mean, I got bullied into it.

I'm going to give it to Shane.

Nah.

All right, let's get back to that one.

Best Sexual Adventure.

Sean Patton, Hooker in

Cuba.

Matt McCusker, Hooker in Brazil.

Joe List diarrhea tent.

Shane Gillis, too scared to act.

Greg Fitzsimmons, too scared to act.

I'm going to give it to Joe List.

Best Sexual Adventure.

Trying to get laid

while a woman has crazy Montezuma's revenge diarrhea in a tent on a hike to Machu Picchu.

Joe List, congratulations on your first

Trippy Award.

Best drugs, Wanton Don.

I mean, he fucking goes for it.

Zane, David Cross, and Childress.

I'm giving out to Wanton Don.

Best Drugs.

Congratulations, Wanton Don, for a 2024 Trippy Award.

Joel B.

Best Meals.

Shane Gillis, I'm on.

Rolf Potts.

In the Syrian Temple Mount.

Yeah, I would say it's not about the taste of the meal.

Because, I mean, me and Bobby Kelly went to Noma one time.

We didn't do that as a podcast yet, but

top restaurant in the world, not by my standards, like four out of six years, three out of four years, something like that.

The year we went,

it was also

best meal right but that's not what this podcast is about it's rolph potts rolf potts congratulations on your meal in the mountaintops in syria as

the best meal of the year 2024 trippy awards congratulations rolf you finally accomplished something with your life

Most adventurous.

Okay, I'm going to go H.

Foley just because he doesn't do that.

And him on a Doombuggy, it's like, it's not about how crazy you've gotten.

It's about how crazy you've gotten compared to you this is what i'm saying also for when we when we tell people to turn it up drinking was you shouldn't tell people to do shots i'm talking to you joe darosa you shouldn't tell people to do shots what you should tell them is hey could you turn this up 10 because some people have a lower tolerance by the way joe also every time you do a shot you leave within 30 minutes

um

H Fole, so H.

Foley fucking got loose for himself.

That picture of him in the Doombuggy is like, that's what it's all about.

Rolf Potts going to fucking volunteer on a mountaintop.

See, that's so adventurous.

Tommy Tiernan

for going to Somalia.

KFC for getting on a plane last minute

at Burt Kreischer's request and going off to Amsterdam to have a time of your life.

That could be it.

Zane Juresky going to Morocco.

Mike Cannon somehow getting to Brisbane.

Simeon Goodson for living in Wuxi, China, for like

two years?

Ari Shafir for going to China at all.

I mean, I was frightened as shit, you guys.

But I still went.

Bobby Kelly for going to Cuba.

And Shane Gillis for going, and maybe Duncan too.

And maybe McCusker, too.

I know what I'm going to do.

I'm giving it to Zane Juresky.

Most adventurous.

I mean, Morocco and also living and everything, almost getting married off to somebody

and having to worm your way out of it.

That was a crazy trip.

That was so fucking out there to go do that.

Biggest piece of shit.

Sean Patton, Colin Tyrrell, Matt McCusker, Sal Volcano, or David Cross.

Well, I mean, you got to narrow that down to Column Tyrrell skipping out on a

skipping out on a

hooker's tab.

Or Sal Volcano.

Sal, it's you, buddy, because you expect this kind of behavior from an Irishman, but you're a hard-working Cuban immigrant.

To have that kind of piece of shit, Italian behavior, I mean, you can't, you can take the man out of Staten Island, but you can't take the Staten Island out of the man.

Sal Volcano, you've won a 2024

UB Trippin' Award for

biggest piece of shit.

Congratulations, Sal.

You've now done something with your life.

Biggest Biggest piece of shit.

Salvano.

Nice.

What do we got?

Best trip and least adventurous.

Least adventurous, I already gave it to Luis Gomez.

What also have I not done?

I mean, we got to have a best trip, right?

Best trip and best guest.

What are we down to?

Dumbest move.

Let's go with...

I don't know yet.

I should have done this before.

Best guest, Harland, Duncan,

or Joe List?

I mean, it's Harlan.

Damn, Joe List is also right there.

And Duncan is really good, too.

I mean, Joe List had such a fucking thing, but Harlan was so prepared.

I mean, he had just pictures and

the

National Geographic Magazine from fucking 30 years ago.

Okay, I've decided

the 2024 UB Tripping Award for best guests goes to

Harlan Williams.

Dude, that was such a good episode.

So fun as a fucking conversation, too.

I mean, talk about jealousy for something.

It's Harlan.

Duncan, that was also great.

Joe List, gold standard of what I expect from people.

If they're like, what's the show?

Can I listen to an episode?

Listen to the Joe List episode.

Best Pictures.

Savo Kenneth, Harlan Williams.

Harlan's pictures were great.

I'm going to go to Bobby Kelly.

Bobby Kelly, you've got best pictures awards.

And then,

dumbest move.

I mean,

Shane Gillis was a dumb fan.

I mean, could you keep eating that much ham?

That's just on you, kind of.

I mean, that's just kind of on you.

The rest just fell for something.

I got bullied into it, to be honest.

So it wasn't a dumb.

I was like, I got out of that without getting rubbed.

Someone's like, just give him some money.

Let's get out of here.

It's actually kind of a smart move.

Duncan and Lewis, that's not.

First of all, once you get shit on your shoe, you do need someone to wipe it off.

So what do they really fall for?

Joe Liz changing money, but it worked out for you.

It's Shane.

You might have taken a year off your life.

Eating that much ham, having your tongue dry up.

Now you can drink so much Bud Light, it never gets through to you because your tongue is so withered from an overdose of hormone.

Ladies and gentlemen,

you know, I worked at the, when I worked at the, I worked for a time, I was temping at the Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce.

We had to give out our awards every year.

And this, this is sometimes a restaurant department got one year, and then hotels got one year.

Automotive got one year.

And they gave it to Jay Leno as guest of the year.

And why?

Because they said because uh he has so many cars and I was like does he live in Beverly Hills they go no I'm like oh but he do you work in Beverly Hills they go no and I'm like then why give him an award they're like so we can sell tickets Shane Gillis

you've just won a 2024 trippy of the year award

Thank you for a great year for real.

100,000 subscribers is fucking cool.

I've had a ton of fun doing this.

I was worried when I stopped my other podcast, knowing I wanted to do this.

I wanted to overlap them, but whatever.

I was worried.

And then I've had so much fun.

I've had so much fun.

They're great to do.

The ones I've had to bury, I've just buried.

I've got so many left to give you guys.

You having a good time?

I'm going to put stuff on my merch also.

Passport holder.

That leather maker, whoever that was.

Did somebody ask me about building a camping bag from the ground up?

I've been looking for it as a comment or as a message on either Instagram or like a comment on the YouTube, and I can't find it.

And I want to do it.

I want to build one, like me and Wolf talked about from the ground up, design it, make it exactly to my specs.

There's a few things

I just want, but I don't need any money off it.

I just want to build it.

One is a grinder that's also a funnel.

So you grind, funnel it,

you know, so it doesn't get everywhere.

It's all you got to put in your hand, and then it's like, come on, just make it.

I just want a free one.

The Billy Strings Danny Brown collaboration.

I don't want anything from that.

I just want to listen to it while I'm skiing.

Anyway, guys, it's been a fucking great year.

Next year's going to be even better.

We're going to go to more locations, more remote spots.
