It's you be trippin'.

Yeah.

Hello, everybody.

Welcome to you be tripping.

It's a travel podcast.

I have an exciting guest every week.

Tell me about some wild or terrible place across the globe.

These have been really fun so far, Daniel.

My guest today is Dan St.

Germain.

Thank you for having me, Ari.

As always.

Yeah, I don't really know if you're a good traveler or not.

Some people, I like Sam Murrill was like, who was like, I'd never do it.

It's my first time.

Other people do constantly.

Where are you at in the travel world?

Like right now, just generally, you're one of the few comedians who still likes to travel, I think.

I think that, like, just because, I mean, like, yeah, I want to go.

Like, there's some places I still want to go to.

Like, I want to go to Japan.

I've never been to Japan.

But, like, for the most part, I think it's like, after you've gone to Grand Rapids four times,

I just want to stay home, you know

So I mean right now it's like I'm more of like I like driving four four hours upstate like staying in a cabin cat skills like something like that like something that where it's like it's just it's the drive is part of it for me I just fucking hate flying flying does

I mean that's all I'm doing now so and then someone will be like we have a destination wedding you're like fuck you yeah I'm gone 28 weeks a year I don't want to go 28 what's the what's the most uh inconvenient destination wedding you've gone to?

I just don't go.

Yeah.

Really, they're all inconvenient, even if it's like an hour drive.

Soder, I remember he went to like Guatemala or some shit.

I forgot.

Dan Soda for like one of his good friends.

I was like, that is a lot.

That's a lot, yeah.

I guess if you're like super rich, it's fine because it's just like, oh, that's just like a weekend.

Take off from

evicting poor people for a little bit.

If I'm like throwing coins out of a carriage.

Yeah, it's like, well, take the private jet there.

I'm like, oh, well, that's the party starts really at the

vacation.

Yeah, if you're a private jet, like, you're not even seeing the new, you're just seeing, like, you're just being rich at a different.

I know everyone's summering in Europe anyway.

Why don't we all meet up in Malta?

It's like rich people don't even get, it's like when they go to like

a biza or something, they're just on the yacht the whole time.

They never actually set foot.

They really have the chefs that are there.

It is weird.

Lewis does that with Jamaica.

He goes to like private resorts.

Yeah.

We start this clock.

And it's like, but you really go to Jamaica.

He just went to an all-inclusive.

He does like blue collar Epstein Island, I guess.

He's like,

they're 12, but they're willing.

How do you reset this?

Set.

There we go.

Start.

So where are we going today?

Where do you want to tell me about it?

So every week I do a what, what?

Dublin Ireland, Ari.

I was there for five months.

Five months.

Yeah.

First of all, that's awesome.

It was cool.

I could have, you can do it in a week.

That's kind of like what I realized about it.

It is slow moving.

It is.

It's basically like New York with less shit.

That's what Dublin is.

But you can do it in a week.

I mean, the reason you go to Europe is I traveled to a bunch of other places while I was there, which was, which was a blast.

I mean, I had a fun time, but it's not like.

I mean, it's not that, you know, it's not like, you're not like, you're not like shitting in a hole.

You know what I mean?

Or like.

Well, European travel is different than that, for sure.

Yeah, for sure reading like uh ancient sanskript or something like that um

but it was a really fun trip and i i saw a lot and it was it was like an interesting time to be abroad because it was right after we invaded iraq so everybody fucking hated us

um i went to this

oh i was already wearing green fuck that was an oversight no almost yeah

this is definitely this is definitely like like somebody's been through a brain injury shirt mas verde

Okay, wait, so where it was right after Iraq?

It was right after Iraq.

So everybody was like, it was like ultimate ugly American.

And where I was, like University College Dublin, it's kind of like...

Oh, you were in school there?

Yeah, it was like retard Trinity.

So it's like you're like, you're basically like, it's like going, it's like saying I'm going to New York City, but I'm staying in the Bronx.

So it was like,

there was like a, it was like a...

like a 30-minute bus ride into Dublin and we were kind of outside on this campus.

I was like staying with this French girl who was like kind of there to learn English and she ended up, because I was just like 20 years old, just I was just drunk constantly.

So like when I was there with her, you know, she had just gotten married and decided to go abroad to like learn English and she was like with me and I was just like a fucking pig.

Like when I fucking what would you fuck it?

Absolutely not.

Like there's not, there's, she would rather fuck the Fuhrer than me.

Like by the end of the, like she hated me so much by the end of this trip.

By the end of this trip, she had left

a list of the psychological damage that I had caused her because I would get drunk and I would eat cubes of her cheese, you know, these French cheese when I was at home.

She hated me.

So I'm sorry if you're listening to this.

What is it about a roommate where you're like, I'm going to eat some of their leftovers?

It's that one decision and it's irrevocable.

Well, especially if you're like...

I mean, if you're just like, I mean, like 20 in.

You're just like, I don't care.

I'm just going to do whatever.

And you're 20 years old.

Like, now I wouldn't do it, but I was like an animal.

you know this was 20 years ago

move stuff around to make it like look like you didn't take it but then you keep the first for more and then eventually they're like hey did you take all but one of my pieces of general so i was like no but only two at a time for three days

yeah and it would be like that and i would like use her shampoo and shit um

and i i think like one time she like just like i felt her step like i passed out just with like tidy whiteys on in front of the fridge and i felt her stepping around me like i was like a body in a crime scene so it was like a lot of that shit.

But, you know.

So you were in school there?

I was, I mean, kind of, you know, I went to school.

I went to school for history and

I wanted to be like a playwright then.

So I was like doing like a lot of like

Irish literature class.

I didn't go to like, I did not go to the history classes I went to.

Some of the history classes were like the best history class I've ever had.

I went to this guy.

I went with this guy named, there's this guy named Declan Downey who taught me Japanese history there.

And he was like constantly trying to like poke the bear because I was American.

So he'd be like, next week we're talking about

the hero of Pearl Harbor, General Yamamoto.

So he was like, Joel, he's trying to get like a rise out of me.

But I thought he was great.

He was like a Stewie from Family Guy.

You can Google him now, and he looks like a grown-up.

It's so funny when people try to stick it in the face of Americans, but the one thing they don't realize about us is that almost none of us actually care about America and history.

We're doing well.

Especially like ones who are traveling, who it's like, obviously we're critical of the government.

Right, right, right.

Those are the questions.

We don't want to stay in the government radio yeah you know so i it then i had this great australian social history teacher that was there um who i ended up like then seeing on mushrooms in amsterdam like a couple months later like then seeing what'd you say oh no then seeing i was i went to the van googh museum and i was like with my friend we were like tripping on mushroom like like the fucking normal american like let's go to the van go like let's go see what's on the coffee cups you know yeah uh and

we get there and this and this guy was just like i was like oh hi dan And I was like, oh, hey, this is my friend Sean.

And my friend was like tripping so much balls.

He just like laughed at this guy's face and like ran away.

And then I had this like awkward moment with this professor and his kid.

But yeah, I went all the way.

I went all around Ireland to like Belfast and Galway.

And like Galway was definitely my favorite because that's the stuff that like,

you know?

I mean, it's just

like the Cliffs of Moore.

It's just beautiful.

The Cliffs of Moore were so fucking great.

You went there, right?

Yeah.

It looks like God bit into the earth.

It's just like,

I should look this up for people, but like,

it's just like you just wander and wander.

You know, you can do it in like 30 minutes, but like, you just sit and walk.

Yeah, yeah.

It rules.

Yeah, I went, I had a show in Dublin, and I was like, well, let me land in, is it Galway out there?

It's Galway.

It's Western Ireland.

And then I just like, let me go there and drive back.

It's gorgeous.

Yeah, look at this shit.

That and Giants Causeway, which is near Belfast, are,

I think, like the prettiest place.

That's why, where you want to go.

Like, if you're going to go to Ireland,

you want to go.

I mean, wild.

And you can walk on this thing, right?

Yeah.

Yeah.

And the wind is, you know, is insane.

Well, you see crosses there, too, of like people that got too close.

And you're just like, see, it's like really an inch away over.

Yeah, it's just the same like

drunk people that you would see on the Jersey turnpike with the crosses, but because it's here, it's beautiful.

Yeah.

I wonder if, look like right here.

You see this?

Yeah.

Like somebody probably at one point fell off that slash there.

And then they're like, well, we're not getting you.

Of course you're.

You're in between.

It's like Everest, right?

Oh, yeah.

The dead bodies that are up there.

God, it's fucking gorgeous.

Look at those fucking tools.

It is gorgeous.

I think that's why, like.

I'm just thinking.

No, I'm just thinking.

I didn't ask anybody to take this picture.

I'm just thinking about stuff.

You know what's so funny?

Because this is so beautiful.

It's like you go there and you like meet a, you're like, oh, you meet white trash there, but because it's so beautiful, it's like, we just like forget about it.

you know it's not like it's like it's like it's the same type of people that were from arkansas but they're just there yeah uh yeah but because they don't have like this amazing scenic beauty but yeah i was in gala for a weekend we had i was i was like you know the whole fucking trip i was just i was hammered and like i was so i was like you were drinking heavy there oh yeah

you're a boozer when you booze yeah yeah yeah and i was like all i know is i just got i i like

like you don't want to go to ireland and get in a political

Like, this is not a place you want to do that in.

There's, like, actual repercussions for it.

What do you mean?

Like, what?

Politics are dangerous in Ireland.

You know, even though I went like in 2000, you know, one or 2002 when the EU, when, when, when Ireland was, like, really rich, politics is still, there's still remnants of a sectarian war there.

So, like, I was, all I remember, I don't know, we were talking about, we're arguing about Iraq, and I was like, I was probably criticizing the U.S.

because I was far more liberal

then than I was now.

All I know is I was so hammered that jump cut to like me 10 minutes later in the argument, and these dudes were surrounding me and just screaming, IRA,

IRA.

And I was so drunk, I just went, let's just settle down a little bit.

I was like, come on, guys, let's have a chill pill.

I was like acting like I was on Parrot Head in Key West, and all these guys were about to know,

throw me into the sea with the British.

I already loves Palestine.

They really relate to that.

They love Palestine.

They're like, that's our struggle.

They love Palestine.

I think that, like,

you know, I think that they would probably run into some problems later on in the line.

You know what I mean?

But as far as like, you know, where they are.

Both against abortion.

Both.

Well, yeah.

I mean, both heavily against abortion.

They relate on that level.

Yeah, it took a while for Ireland to come around to any sort of long-term runners-up as you got to relate on that level.

Long-term runners-up.

Yeah, it is kind of funny.

Like,

just like the Irish pride, it's like, we're not going to be involved in World War II.

And you're like, well, that was the one everyone wanted to be involved.

That was the one everyone wanted to go against, right?

But yeah,

there was definitely.

It was weird.

There was a weird feeling in Dublin at the time because

like there's just this, you know, there's always this like

acerbic, like downtrodden i think irish thing where like they were economically flourishing at the time but they still didn't believe it like because they had been through so much shit like i would be on the bus with like an old irish lady and she would just be like yeah it's gonna end at any moment it's gonna end like they none of them could believe that this was that things were going well that's how comedy was until like three years ago Yeah.

They were like, this is no way it's going to last.

Yeah.

Well, now you have to be like, you know, a fucking influencer.

Yeah.

Exactly.

Now it's like, now comedy has become the new trump shoes you know like that's really what comedy is not good looking uh but yeah now it's yeah now it's yeah that it is this probably changed the most i mean i don't want to get into like a comedy thing but it is it's self-esteem is now important in comedy which that's never been it was so it's never been cool you leaned into uncoolness right then it's like no no be cool very cool oh you know but danny brown says uh comedy is going through a brag phase that's true

uh uh Rapted.

It's always in a brag phase.

And then you have like high level, like, you know, like arrest development or like, or like Moz Death or something.

They're just like, we're not trying to brag.

We're trying to make standards.

Most of them was like, look at my fucking awesome jeans.

Look how many of the cars I drive.

Well, you'll see comedians now.

And not even like...

Because

when we're talking, you think we're talking about somebody like Schultz, who's got, you know, the bravado thing.

But I'm talking about people that are like, people you wouldn't even think.

At every level.

there's guys that like

like there's one guy who was

a middle and he was like posting a picture i won't say his name but he was like tagging the jacket he was in and like and the type of shoes it was i was like no one gives a fuck no one gives a fuck no one

it's like gross it's very gross it's just be poor that's cooler you know now you're successful and you still dress like shit art thank you yeah those pants have had since before i was successful that's never changed yeah this should have had since this is on woot.com special ten dollar deal a day this is definitely like a horse girl shirt.

Like a girl's, you know, the big girl is into horses.

Yeah.

Let's get back to the episode.

Thank you, Dan.

Let's get back to Ireland.

Okay, so you're in Dublin for five months.

Five months, yeah, with my buddy Phil and Rachel.

And I met

him.

You made friends there.

We went from my college, but I made a bunch of friends there, too.

Like, I met this guy, John, who was like the smartest dude I've ever met in my entire life.

And he was about to go to the priesthood, but then he decided he was an atheist and a vegan.

Oh, you can't go to the priesthood after that.

And he, like, it was this crazy thing where, like, people in his life kept dying the whole time, and he kept like relating it to the number seven.

So, like, every time I saw him, because seven's like a big deal in the Bible, you know, so you'd just be talking about seven, the seventh person, you know.

Uh, so we didn't get laid a lot, that's what I'm trying to say.

Um, but yeah, we, I mean, we've met a bunch of people there, and

I mean,

it was like, because in my head, I'm like, did I do anything?

And then I wrote like three pages worth of shit.

I was like, oh, I did.

I did do a lot when I was there.

And I saw a lot when I was there.

But it definitely is.

I think I went to

class twice for like the, and I still got out with like C's or something.

Where'd you go normally?

This like small school in Indiana, University of Evansville.

My dad was like kind of like a big playwright there, and I wanted to be a playwright.

He went there.

Yeah.

His shows got done there a lot.

And it was like a big theater.

Like Romy Malik, the guy who was

one for Queen or whatever,

he was in stuff that I wrote and stuff like that.

He won an award for that fucking shitbox movie.

He won the Oscar, dude.

No, I haven't seen it.

Is it bad?

To be fair, I've watched on someone else's screen on the plane.

I feel like that's the way to watch that movie.

That is the way to watch it, but also you can tell when something is like made for TV level.

Yeah.

As soon as it's the commercial when they go like, when he was like, wait, say that again?

And it's just like one of the

like lines from his well-known song.

It's like, I'm out.

I'm out.

Is this the real life?

Yeah, wait, shot a moose?

Shot a moose?

Like, you see him see a fat bottom girl?

Yeah.

Yeah, exactly.

It's like so dumb.

And then I'm like, I'm out.

That Bob Marley thing looks the same.

That's apparently bad.

It looks like it.

It's so funny because I saw him at the seller and I was like, everyone thinks that

rich people are going to help you out or famous people are going to help you out.

And I remember like I had just written a thriller.

I really wanted a couple of years ago, I stopped doing comedy to just write thrillers and I wanted him to be in it.

So I got him like free tickets to the cellar and I sent him my thriller.

Never got back.

And I was like, oh, this is like what happens.

It's actually the people who are not doing well helping the rich people out, the famous people out rather than like, it's like you're just, they're just getting free shit.

They're just going through this magical life and ignoring emails.

Yeah.

They'll follow up.

Yeah.

Yeah.

They'll follow up.

But yeah, I was out there and, you know, I was like,

I did read a lot, but I don't think I wrote a fucking thing.

I was like, oh, I'm going to write there.

I'm going to write the great American play while I'm out there.

It's the interesting thing when you go travel, when you go somewhere to like to get.

like settled and get into like a groove of like work where you're like oh i can also just drink every day like you're the first day of that you're like let me just have a drink i'm gonna do you write a lot of material when you're traveling or no zero then i come home and i start to process it right but like even when i want to i think in four months in Southeast Asia, I wrote like a premise of one joke.

Really?

Yeah.

So nothing.

And then, but you're pretty prolific.

So when you come back, it just flows out.

It then comes, yeah, yeah.

Well, it's like you went fallow.

So then it's like, oh no, you can like start, like it can go any direction in your mind.

But yeah, it was just like

if I'm not on stage, there's no, my brain has no reason to give me a joke.

Santa is very tough to write in that sense.

Yeah.

You have to be doing it.

Yeah, I have to be ready to fail, if not for new stuff.

You have to go in with like a gun against you,

gun to your head.

That's what Shane Gillis is doing right now, well-known Irish comic.

He's hosting this.

He's like, I got to get this fucking monologue out.

It's like, well, you got some pressure.

You got a week.

He didn't come in with any idea what he wanted to do.

I think he wants to just do stand-up.

Right.

He wants to do that.

And not try to do any weird thing.

Like Nate did that, but Nate...

He's already...

He's not going to come out dressed as a Chinese New Year dragon.

He's so clean already.

He goes, I don't have to change anything in my stand-up.

And everyone else does.

Yeah, it's great.

Except for that, like, no, we say, like, oh, that's, but it's like the hardest thing.

What he's doing is the hardest thing.

What Nate's doing is the hardest thing to do.

To go clean.

Yeah.

It is very difficult.

Unless you're getting the groove, then it's like, fine.

Or you normally think like that.

Because I'm like, Brian Hamilton's clean, but when I'm around Ryan Hamilton, he's a great guy.

He's not cursing a lot.

So that's like, I think he's already funny.

Right.

He just in that clean way.

I can't do it.

I can't do it.

All my jokes are just saying, fuck you to some character.

Yeah, like, there's cum on every one of my jokes.

I love when you get halfway through a joke.

And you're like, no, this is clean.

You're doing some clean thing.

And then, like, halfway through, you're like, you realize with the next joke, the direction, you're like, damn it.

Oh, it's right to come.

Oh, I just didn't think there was any curse in it.

He just, like, look down and you're like, actively coming while you're telling a joke.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Splue jigs in his face, painting them.

I just thought it was paint.

So what'd you do?

How'd you find Ireland?

Like, what did you like about it?

Well, I mean, I was a big, like, I'm a huge irish playwright you know like because i mean saint germain is iron yeah well no it's french but um but i mean i do have i am irish yeah i mean i that's i'm like a white mutt you know yeah um

and most i think most of my lineage is irish and french canadian i'm i'm it's it's just more of like a white you know orgy but um you know i loved like

I mean, I loved like American Irish playwrights, like Eugene O'Neal, but, you know, then I would also, I would love like Brian Friel and fucking,

you know, there's just a bunch of guys that I was I was like really into.

And

so that's kind of what got me into it.

And I love that, like the, like the, I kind of like the history aspect of it.

But when you get there, it's, you know, it's just, it's still mostly drinking.

Yeah.

You know, like, like the whole time, like, and you, and you think like you get there that everyone else is going to be like as hammered as you are, but that's not at all what happens.

Like, I remember I passed out on campus outside New York next to like a river or a creek.

It was

a creek.

It wasn't a river.

And like, one of the RAs, this Irish guy, and he picks me up and he gave me like a coming to Jesus moment.

He goes, you know, we come here to learn.

We come here to learn.

And then, so I was like, oh, I'm sorry, like, whatever.

That night, I went to my friend's place

and

I pissed his couch like terribly.

And the next day, I had to wake up and like go tell the R, I didn't realize he was the same RA.

So, after he had saved me, I had to come down and be like, Hey, I pissed this couch.

Can you switch it out?

And it was just, it was this amazing luck where they were switching out couches that day.

Like, they had like the couch guy there, so I didn't even have to pay for it.

Um, but it was, you know, it was beyond

humiliating.

Um, but yeah, we were like, we hung out with some Irish people.

The Irish guys did, but like, they didn't really want to hang out.

Like, it's like Amsterdam and

for like the the red light and just for the weed.

It's like here we have illegal weed, but only tourists are doing it all day, every day.

We have the legal prostitution.

It's like, yeah, I go there twice a year.

But we're all like, let's go.

Yeah, it's like, also, it's like,

yeah, it's like, it's like the societies that use drugs all the time are the ones that it's like, it's like really poor parts in Russia that are doing crocodiles.

Crocodiles now.

Crocodiles are my favorite drugs.

Have you ever done it?

No, but just a research.

Have you?

Crazy.

Hell no.

Oh, yeah.

But I mean...

Method squared.

Yeah, and

the reason they call it is because your skin actually turns into a crocodile.

It goes away.

They have exposed bone.

It's the most disgusting.

I think I just have a bit about it, but like.

It must be really fucking good.

I mean, it's got to be good.

You know?

But the drugs now, like, we can't.

Crocodile.

We can't.

Because I just got, you know,

I recently got back from rehab.

And I got to be able to do that.

That's what it does to you.

Look at this guy.

It looks like he's got bees on his head.

Yeah.

I heard it eats away your skin.

That's it.

Here we go.

Exposed bone.

So you just see.

And it's just like crazy crystal meth.

It's just like.

I mean, the high must be excellent.

Oh.

Yeah, it looks like he was bitten by a shark.

Like, that's how disgusting this stuff is.

And I mean, when you start to see some bone, and then you're at that point to not go, oh, fuck.

Oh, you're when you start to see bone, you're in it.

Yeah, you're like, well, I'm not.

There's no, I don't think what was the precursor to The Wire, the blue.

Uh, there was that corner, the corner, yes, that was where it was like, uh,

what's his name, Charles S.

Dutton or something?

He was the Bubba was in it, yeah,

but but I remember him, they went to this guy, by the way, yeah, yeah, yeah, he was in my like comedy central thing or something like that.

He's like one of the nicest, uh,

one of the nicer dudes I've met in this in this dumb business, in this fucking

dumbass dumbass business.

Horrible business that we do.

Terrible people.

Filled with awful people.

Anyway, he was in, they almost OD'd or OD'd and they went to the hospital.

They saved him.

And they're like, hey, so you got to stop doing it.

If you do this again, you'll die.

And then his friends from the corner came to visit him.

They're like, hey, we got some.

And then the one guy is like, hey, no, they said he'd die if he does this again.

And the guy was like, get out, man.

Like, I mean, this path is already set.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's where this leads.

Have you seen Life and Crime?

that hbo series it's great you would love it but it's like these four junkies and it's like them from their like you know them from like their early early 20s days when they're just kind of like doing coke and stuff to like you know when they're all on dope um oh my god this is disgusting you guys can't see this crocodile photos uh follow on youtube you guys go to youtube.com slash you'd be tripping pod and see all these fucking oh we won't put this up on social media maybe we will maybe there'll be some social media aspects so disgusting if If anyone wants to photoshop St.

Germain's face with crocodile on the crooked side of the face,

any of the guys listening who have the skill to really disgust his mom.

It looks like when you're in health class and you see the parts of the muscle.

Yeah, it does.

It does.

It looks like the bodies exhibit.

It looks really like that.

It looks like the bodies exhibit.

Oh,

okay.

I'm in

Hellraiser.

Oh, they just got to be awesome.

So gross.

All right, let's go.

Clips and were way prettier than a body on crocodile.

I could not get any good drugs while I was there.

That was a good thing.

No, I could only

couldn't get weed.

I could only get hash.

I don't really particularly like hash.

It just doesn't really affect me.

What?

Yeah, I don't like.

Maybe I was getting bad hash, you know, because I was like, you know, 20.

Yeah.

But I never really, I just kind of felt, I mean,

that or opium.

Like, I've smoked opium and I've smoked hash and I've never felt really anything from it.

Do you ever go to this, Hooth?

I don't think I went to Huth, no.

It's like a...

I went to Killarney, Kilkenny.

No, I didn't go to Huth.

It's part of Dublin, I guess, but just in the outskirts.

Eczema isn't always obvious, but it's real.

And so is the relief from Evglis.

After an initial dosing phase, about four in 10 people taking EBGLIS achieved itch relief and clear or almost clear skin at 16 weeks.

Hi guys, public service announcement from your old pal Ari Shafira.

You know cat owners and mostly they're lonely and sad.

Probably the saddest people on the planet and the loniest people on the planet.

And you think the reason they got a cat is to fill that void.

I disagree.

I say there's a difference between causation and causality.

Do you understand what I mean?

Well, let me explain it to you.

They're lonely because their home smells like cat.

Think about that.

They had friends, then they got a cat, their home smelled terrible because they used terrible kitty litter,

and then they lost their friends.

Well, now I got a solution for all you cat owners.

It's pretty litter.

So what did you do all day?

How did you tell me about the Irish people and how you found them?

I was in love with this one Irish chick the entire time I was there.

It never made it happen.

Oh, God.

Damn it.

Because she was very Catholic, you know, and she had a boyfriend.

And I was too hungover to make a move.

I ended up hooking up with some girl who called herself Party Girl in Belfast.

You know, it was like the ultimate.

But I hung out with this one guy, Colin, there a lot.

Like he was all right.

I mean, it just, it was like one of these things where like a lot of the Irish guys, I feel like that were hanging out with Americans were because the Irish guys didn't want to hang out with them.

You know, it was like, you know, the kids who make like friends of the foreign exchange students here.

But he was, he was all right.

He was cool.

It was, I remember one night we had gotten really drunk.

We all got drunk and he disappeared.

And then the next day he came in and he's like, he's like, how, how, how was your night?

And he's like, I was, I was assaulted by a woman, by a monster of a woman.

And it's like, it's so funny.

Like, because it's like, if it was like a girl, we'd be like, are you okay?

But a guy we're like, oh, she got you.

She got you.

Like, that was our takeaway from it.

No sympathy whatsoever.

No sympathy whatsoever.

Like, oh, what were you wearing?

It's like when Burton Tom had a fat shaming contest, and everyone's like, nice.

Let me get on board with that.

You just can't do it to a chick.

Yeah.

So,

and I was, yeah, we would go out like every weekend.

It was just all boozing.

It was mostly all boozing, yeah.

But, you know, like, I was in Indiana and like, there was a lot of boozing in Indiana, too.

So, and that was like, I mean, boozing in Indiana, I would, I would wager to say, is way worse than Ireland because at least like Ireland, it's beautiful.

And there's like some like, oh, I'll go to the Francis Bacon exhibition opposed to Indiana where you're like, I'll go to the Aces basketball tournament.

You know, like I'll take out a guitar center.

And well, I'm Did you come under the drinking age?

Did you get to a new legal when you got there?

Were you under 20?

Well, 18 is, you know,

how old were you went?

I was 20.

Oh, so you became legal when you went there?

I became, no, I didn't become legal until a year later.

No, no, no.

I'm saying as soon as you got there, you were now legal.

I was legal, yeah.

So I could do, yeah, I could do it.

That's a cool trip where you're like, oh,

no fake id here no anything it's just fine yeah and and everyone i mean we all got shit canned the entire time that we were there yeah it was it was totally the ugly american thing like i remember one night i like i somehow like split my hand open and my friends had to find me because i was like they found the blood from my hand throughout the village we were in they were like like almost like using it like they were like

finding spots because i was like trying to like buzz their apartments and they finally found me at this one girl's place who who I wasn't fucking.

I was passed out on her couch, and she was like singing her original acoustic songs at me.

And they had to, like, yeah, which is way worse.

Way worse.

They were like, it's way worse to see some girl trying to be like John Mayer in front of you.

But yeah, I mean, I was just that whole, the whole time I was there, man, I was like, I remember I got blacked out once, and then I woke up in front of like a kebab place and I had a cup and like people were actively throwing Euros and change into the cup.

Like they had thought

I was like destitute, you know.

But, you know, fun trip.

I don't know.

You know, would I go again?

I guess

I would do it for stand-up, but I don't think I would go out of my way actively to be like, I'm going to go.

Did you mostly stay in Dublin?

Hang on there.

I went to Galway.

I went to Belfast.

Is Belfast way different?

Belfast is...

Belfast is really interesting.

Belfast is one of the more interesting places I've been to because when we got there, originally, like we got sat down, it was like a school thing, right?

So it was like a bunch of us in a room with somebody who was like, they were talking about the troubles, right?

Which is, you know, the Catholics is the Protestants there.

And there was someone there who was like.

It was a full house reboot.

There was somebody there was like way more like

way, way, you know, like,

I wouldn't say even way more, but like they were more influenced by Catholic.

They were more Protestant leading.

And then the other one was more Catholic leading.

One was more Ulster Union side.

One was more IRA-side.

But like, I remember they were talking about it, and they were so fucking tired.

Like, it was the first time I've seen, like, an effects of civil war where it's like they were like,

like, even at the end, when they asked, like, well, what side do you believe?

And he goes, oh, I believe they're like, I tend to agree more with the Catholics, but also it doesn't matter.

Like, they kind of like, because they had just been beaten down at that point.

So much.

And that point of the government, too, there was a lot of like Sinn Fein.

There was a lot of like former Irish, you know, IRA elements that were now becoming, you know, kind of legit, you know, and coming into the, you know, into more of like the,

actually part of the political process.

So there was like a route, a lot of reconciliation from it.

But you would like go through Belfast and they still had all the murals there.

So on the walls, there would be like the Ulster Unionist, the IRA murals, and they were like gorgeous, but it was also like kind of like foreboding and scary.

And like you didn't want to like, like Belfast, I remember I didn't have any, I did not, I did not have any political conversation in Belfast.

I knew to shut the fuck up there.

that seems great yeah that was like one of those where I was like this is seems like I should just be talking about Michael Jordan or my buddy Paul Curie Diana or something comic not my not Prince

guy Paul Curie is for a comic from from Belfast yeah and he's also a puppeteer and he said that um when he was a young puppeteer um Frank Oz went there yeah and they're trying to get the Muppets

and they would go really to war-torn places they thought it was a way to like help war-torn places like recuperate you know yeah puppets yeah well just like you can speak out politically, you can say something without having a human, I don't know, representative of it.

But yeah, he goes, Yeah, of course, I'm going to go to Belfast.

It's still like in the throes of it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That would be so funny to like be like, you're then taken away by the air ray, and you're like, oh, it's the puppet.

No, it's the puppet.

It's scooches.

Scooches had all these opinions.

I've been telling them not to.

You got to see the act.

I say, Scooches.

You're on a line.

I was very clear.

I wasn't thinking like Jeff Dunham, political prisoner.

Can I get some more groove?

But yeah, it was pretty wild.

I hadn't really thought about it, but I just seen Danny Day Lewis and the Name of the Father recently.

I'd never seen that movie.

It's like one of the greatest.

I love when he walks out when he gets free.

Oh, he looks awesome.

And he walks.

Yeah.

And they're like, where are you going?

It's like, I'm done.

Get off me.

Get off me.

And he just walks right outside.

He's free finally.

I watched that.

I'm like, American actors will never be as good.

Like when you see him.

No, we're too busy killing it socially and professionally.

Yeah, yeah, we're too busy

dropping.

Although, like, he's, yeah, I saw that, and that made that made me kind of like nostalgic for Ireland when I was there.

But I would also like, I went to Italy when I was there, I went to Amsterdam, I went to Brussels.

Well, that's nice too.

You can just go anywhere, right?

Yeah, Ryanair is like super cheap.

Ryanair, but you have to check in.

What is he?

You have to check in online.

They don't let you check in there, or they'll charge you 30 bucks.

Yeah, it's like every flight's spirit.

Right.

You know, what surprised you about Irish people?

Or like, what did you notice about them?

Or was it different city to city?

I mean, there's definitely like, you know, there's definitely

a cards close to the chest, you know, element there.

You know, that there isn't here.

There's no like,

and I think that's just because you've been.

You know, like you're so much more in mesh in your own history than here in America where everyone's like...

I feel like in America, it's like we all came from somewhere else.

So there's like a charlatan sort of like you're selling something that's not real, you know, opposed to like when you're actually living in a place and you've been there and your general family's been there for generations and generations and generations.

And, you know, you're kind of steeped in this history.

So there's no like heirs about it.

I definitely noticed that.

But Dublin itself is like, there's a lot of similarities to New York City.

You know, like it's not as, you know, like, there's definitely like, like, there's definitely parts of Dublin where you're like, okay, you, like, design this because this is what you think tourists think Ireland is.

Yeah.

Rather than this being.

There's a lot of places where, like, this is what we think you think we are.

Yeah.

In a lot of cities.

Times Square is that.

We think, we think Middle America thinks New York is here.

Yeah.

Like when you, yeah, like when you see, like, when you go down and you see, like, somebody from, you know, Iraq with like a, you know, with, with like a World Trade Center shirt, like something like that.

They're just like, what do you want?

We want it to be there.

But, you know, the one thing that was cool about it is, like, I do think they have, I do think they like, like theater and art, like they do.

Like,

it's

they're like more blue collar about it, like it's an actual job, you know, rather than here.

It's like when you make the choice to be like a writer or a comic here, it's almost like either, unless you're super successful, then you're being, yeah, you know, you're supported by your parents, you become, or you become super successful, but there's not like that like working man's, you know, writer thing.

And there, you know, there's aspects of like the government that'll help like fund you.

And, you know, it's, it's seen as more of like a real thing rather than that is weird out there in the UK where like they'll pay you to make fun of them.

The government will be like, well, give me money.

If you're a sketch show, you're going to hit on us.

Yeah, yeah.

By the way, speaking of theater, you got a new special out right now?

Yeah, on YouTube, baby.

That's nice.

What is it called?

Dance Dance Fatty Dance.

Dance Fatty Dance.

I'm talking about you, Junior, but there's no high art in the special.

Okay, no.

Please come.

Yeah, don't get turned off by an intelligent player.

Yeah, please.

Please don't.

Don't use that.

Don't, uh, yeah, don't, don't go into like, I'm not going to talk about

it or something like that.

Dance Fatty Dance.

Dance Fatty Dance.

Oh, that's way worse.

Dance Fatty Dance.

Dan is one of the great comics of New York.

You guys will love that for sure.

Yeah, check it out, man.

Dance Fatty Dance.

Dance Fatty Dance.

Where'd you do it?

Old Man Hustle, Brooklyn Comic.

Congratulations.

Thank you, buddy.

What special is this for you?

This is actually, I've done two other albums and I did a half hour on Comedy Central, but this is like my first

work.

You know, because I did a thing where it was like, I was like kind of in writer's rooms for a couple of years, and then I just never, I never put it on.

I was like kind of waiting for that old model of like, oh yeah, like you get to a certain level, and then Comedy Central just pays you

this much to do.

And then that just completely.

It's so weird this next generation of like, I'm waiting.

And then the younger generation was like, for what?

Yeah, that's what I mean.

So there was people,

there were people with more, with less time than me who have more specials.

But for sure.

There'll be quality.

There'll be a premium on quality now, and guys like you will be like, Well, let me show you what a good one is.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, yeah, we're like, I'm like, oh, fuck, all these jokes kind of work, you know, yeah, um, opposed to you know, like, shit, I gotta get another 45 out, but I think I'm gonna do one close.

I think I'll do it.

The next one I do will be a lot quicker, yeah, it'll be a lot faster.

Now that, like, this model is because I mean, I had like one offer, but it was like one of those things where they were gonna like pay a little bit.

And it was like me, one, I was like one of 20, and like

it was a music backdrop for everybody.

Oh, yeah, and it was like a one-show thing.

Fuck that.

I would have two.

Yeah,

I need to have two.

Just even though most of the most of the specials from the first show, I just need that psychological like that I have enough.

Well, no, that's the thing.

You have like the comfort to be like, this isn't, this isn't, it's not all resting on this right now.

Yeah, if you do want the first one so-so, you're like, fuck.

Yeah.

This has to be good now.

Yeah.

If you've had Chappelle where you do like 16, none of it matters.

No, I got my feelings crowd.

Whatever.

That's too many, too.

That's probably too many.

I think it's like probably like two.

Two or three is like the sweet spot.

If you go, and you all should go to see Dan's special right now, DanceFattyDance on youtube.com.

It's a website on the internet.

I don't know if you heard of it.

Leave him a comment.

I think you disrespected the Irish people, and I think everyone should leave a comment saying as such

that

your drunkenness was disrespectful.

I was very disrespectful.

Yeah, the I was definitely I was definitely

disrespectful while I was there.

I think the next time I went to Ireland, it would just be apologizing for

my first trip that I was there.

I'm sorry.

Hi, guys.

Today's episode of Ubi Tripping is brought to you by Shopify.com.

They're great for setting up your online portal.

You'll be able to sell directly to your fans.

It's amazing.

It's an amazing product.

And whatever you're selling, they can help you do it.

What I'm selling...

is the cha ching sound well i bought a boatload for what i thought was a cheap price and it was but i've got way too many and now i've got to unload them so when you look for ja-ching look no further than ari shafir.com i've got so many.

I gotta get rid of them.

And I was so overloaded that I can't, I've lost my friends over it.

I've spent so much time on loading these cha-chings.

Put one in, put one in.

Every time I say one, just put one in.

I gotta unload these.

Then my friends call and say, you want to hang out?

I'm like, I can't.

I was telling Shane, Shane Gillis, this, uh, this chubby guy that I'm friends with.

He goes, he goes, uh, hey, uh, you want to hang out?

You want to go to the bar?

And I'm like, I can't, man.

I got to own these cha chings.

I'm setting up my Shopify online portal to be able to sell stuff.

And he goes, well, that's a good idea.

What do you buy too much of something?

I have to unload it.

I'm like, yeah, I got to unload these cha chinks.

And he goes, oh,

that'd be cool to do with like tires or something.

I'm like, what are you talking about?

He goes, is that too close to your idea?

If I, maybe, I think a sitcom of like buying too many tires and I have to unload them the way you bought too many cha-chings and have to unload those cha-chings.

So you try to put more cha-chings into your commercial ad reads or just sell them at arieshair.com where our dates are and everything else.

And Shopify helps you set up all that.

And I'm like, dude, what are you talking about?

Selling too many tires is nothing like selling too many cha-chings.

Cha-chings are a different thing.

Tires are different.

He goes, I don't know.

See, it's pretty close.

I'm like, buddy, no one's going to think you stole that from me.

Sell all the tires you want.

Also, it's a dumb idea for a sitcom.

No one's going to watch a show about selling tires.

Do whatever you want, dude.

You're never going to make money out of that.

I'm making money off selling to chinks.

By the way, you can donate to my uh special right now at Arish Fair YouTube account.

I just don't need more money.

I'm taking a PayPal and Pemo request.

Cha-chings, make your money.

Selling your chains to change, cha-chinks.

And he's like, Who are tires?

I'm like, Shane, I don't have time to talk to you about this.

I don't have time to talk to you about this.

I'm busy with business, dude.

I'm selling Cha-Chings.

You go do your dumb tire show.

It's never going to go anywhere.

It's never, you're never going to make any money of that.

Please donate donate to my cause.

My special.

I'm trying to help pay for it.

It's a special Jew.

Millions of views, but it was quite expensive and I don't have enough money.

And Shane's like, well, I'm going to make money of this.

Like, dude, no one's going to think you stole it from me.

Go sell your dump tires.

This is different.

This is about buying tomato chings and trying to unload your chings.

And I got dumb employees like Kryla, who's smoking all day and not helping me at all.

And I got a Greek guy on my ass trying to go, why'd you buy Tomitcha Chings?

You got to lose Chinese.

Now back to the episode.

You know, there's probably like all these other amazing things about Ireland that I just completely missed because I was like out of it the whole time.

But like, there's the thing.

It's like,

everything that I did was like,

even when I went to Amsterdam, it was like, I did like too much weed.

I did too much.

And then I like, I remember I went to the Red White District and I went and I got a girl and I couldn't get it up.

And I just like started holding her hand the whole time.

And she's just like, maybe you shouldn't drink so much.

And I left.

I don't need advice from you, lady.

I don't need one.

I'm having the same, like, I'm having like a Wonder Years

Winnie Cooper moment.

Yeah, what the end of Wonder Years, he finally fucks it, right?

I think so.

Yeah, and they kind of like lay down and go past the screen.

Yeah, there's like it'd be awesome if he was like too much buildup couldn't get hard.

Like if the real Wonder Years.

You just hear him like stump like

it pans out and you just hear him stumble.

I can't get it in.

I can't get it in.

Yeah, and then like make it horrible.

It's like, fuck you, bitch.

And he's like, what the fuck?

We never talked again after that.

You see like Paul masturbating in the corner.

One of my biggest regrets.

Yeah, looking at the window, like Legion of Skanks, just staring at him, trying to fuck.

Paul fucked her.

Yeah, it's never good.

Your first time's never good.

Yeah.

Even Wonder Years.

What would you tell people to do in Ireland or Dublin specifically?

I mean, one of the coolest things is Kilmanum Jail is like, that's where all the East, that's where everyone from the Easter Rebellion was there.

The What Rebellion?

Kilmanum Jail.

It's like, you know, the big Irish Rebellion in the 1900s.

And like James Connolly was there and shit like that.

And it's like, it's kind of funny there because there's like, they have the most amazing tour guides who have this incredible scope of Irish history, but you can tell like they make it like a little more depressing just to get an extra tip.

You know what I mean?

This is where James Connolly was and his cat at polio at the time.

I could just adding stuff that didn't happen.

But that was

the ripos of the children to this day.

Like the theater there is great.

Like I saw a Playboy of the Western World with Killeen Murphy, and then afterwards we met him and he was super nice.

Yeah, he was before Peaky Blinders?

Yeah, this is before Peaky Binders.

This is like right after 28 Days Later, but he was like still doing wait.

Oh, that was him in 28 Days Later?

Yeah, that was him in 28 Days Later.

What's the worst part of that movie?

It was a great movie.

What's the one part?

I don't know.

It's when he suddenly becomes a superhero, about three quarters in.

But I kind of, yes, you're right.

You know, it was all so real, like him finding out about it as it was going, like as we're finding out about it.

That was great.

But he's just a guy.

He wasn't a...

He kind of like, but most of the work is done by the zombie that he unleashes, right?

I mean, I'm not sure.

Yeah, but setting it all up and getting them, then

jumping up on the fucking ledges and decoying them out there.

I'm like, you don't have training.

They do.

They're military.

Yeah.

So maybe like Danny Boyle was just so sick of like working with heroin addicts.

He's like, I'll just do.

That was Danny Boyle 28 days later?

Wow.

What a movie that was.

It's a great movie.

I just saw, I re-watched 28 weeks later, which isn't as good.

It's not as good.

It's still good.

Cool idea, though, where it's like someone is immune, but carries it.

And then like the kiss, the kids.

That they're doing 28 months later, I guess.

And what is that?

Just like, oh, life's good now.

We're

rebuilding.

Yeah, it's like COVID.

That was that weird about

one, what's it called, Lane?

Cloverfield Lane.

Yeah, where it's like really nothing to do with the movie.

Nothing at all, except for the very end.

I really like that movie, but the very end of it.

She comes out and she's like, oh.

But they have like the alien that they have is not the aliens from.

Oh, really?

Yeah, I remember that.

I remember that was just kind of bizarre where I was like, they kind of used like a different sort of monster, you know?

But I thought the movie was really great.

It was also John Goodman.

I could see him eat pistachios for two hours.

Prepper, who's finally getting the chance.

It's like a cool idea.

Because all those guys want that chance.

I think that's like most, most Americans don't fantasize about traveling.

Most Americans fantasize about not being allowed to go outside.

Right.

Or using their gun to protect their family.

Using their gun to protect your family.

Well, when someone breaks into your home, you're going to be sorry you don't have it.

And I'm like, what?

You want someone to break into your home, don't you?

Yeah.

you want that.

Yeah, yeah, of course.

People have prepped their whole life for that.

I mean, and then when your one kid kills your other kid, you get to be like,

He wasn't prepped enough.

Still,

luckily, it wasn't a black guy.

Do you have a gun?

You don't have a gun, right?

I don't.

Well, you know.

Oh, yeah, but he says that fucking

fucking hog right there.

That cannon.

No, I don't have a gun.

My brother,

he worked in

Luxembourg for a while, and everyone was like, How many guns do you have?

And he's like, none.

They're like, but you're in the minority.

He goes, I'm not in the minority.

They're like, but most people have a lot of guns.

He's like, no.

Nobody has guns.

Shut up.

You're lying.

Yeah, I don't know.

I debate getting one, but in New York, it's like really impossible.

Yeah, really, you just got to find someone who's throwing someone off the bridge and just jump in.

Yeah.

That's your only chance.

And like, you've been implicated in the murder.

I was like, no, no, it was another guy.

I saw him.

He was brown.

He's another guy, man.

He's brown.

He's brown.

You can't even say the brown.

It's so fast.

What was I going to say?

What did you hate hate about Ireland?

What didn't you like about it?

I mean, I think that, like, you know, when you're there for five months, you're like,

have to, you know, you're going to school.

You can't get a job.

I did have a job.

That's not true.

I was a bus boy there, and I was with this guy.

Me and this Chinese kid were like bus boys, and the whole time he would yell at me about Taiwan and be like, give it back to us.

I'm like, I don't.

I don't have it.

I don't have control.

But I think, like, you know, like, when, like, I do think that I could have like spent two weeks, and I wish I had gone to other parts of Ireland more, or I'd stayed, like, I was stayed, I was in Galway, or I was in Belfast.

I think that that would have been a very different trip.

Because, like, Dublin, it's like, it's a European metropolitan city.

There's nothing that's like that particular, you know, it's like when you go to London, too, it's like, it's the same thing when you're in London.

You're like, well, this is different, but it's also kind of New York.

Kind of the same.

Yeah, it's like, I call them Little americas sydney melbourne dublin

they speak the same language they sell mcdonald's and it's not like whoa we got our first mcdonald's like they just have them they have zaras and like whatever yeah it's just a slight difference all canada yeah you know and it's like it's different but not different enough yeah like my sister like with travel nation she was in vietnam for years like that's like real you know for years that's very yeah she was teaching english like that's very that's like very different and like some of the traveling you've done is, like, is, you know,

very different.

But when you can't even read the symbols, the letters.

Yeah.

You know, like, even in, like, in, like, Asia or like, or, like,

I don't know, Middle East, where you're like, I don't can't even read.

In Paris, I can't read.

I don't understand the language, but I can say, Rue de Saint-Denis.

Yeah, yeah.

And they'll be like, no, but I know what you're talking about.

Right, right, right, right.

But just a bush and a tree.

What's the place that you felt the most alienated while you were there?

I was going to say, my first time, I mean, it's like the first time I went to like Asia, China, but I had like a setup of like some, like they brought me on a tour, so they were like helping me through it.

But man, once you go to rural on your own, it's like

nothing.

But probably like Myanmar,

it was so, that was my first like long trip solo, solo.

And I'm like, when you were in Myanmar, was that when all the shit was happening there or no?

But undercover more.

So nobody knew about it.

You weren't even allowed to go to the places where

it was happening.

Up here.

Yeah.

So in all, you can go to Mandalay, all this region here and this way, you couldn't go.

So you go to Yangon, you go this way up here.

You couldn't, you had to go hug the coast.

If you went this way, they'd be like, you can't sleep here.

You're a foreigner.

You can't sleep here.

You got to pass through.

Oh, wow.

That was kind of scary.

It was scary.

They escorted us once to our hotel room by gunpoint.

They're like, where's your passports?

And we're like, they're in our hotel.

Let's go get them.

And we're like, oh, fuck.

Yeah, when you're in that moment, you're like, they can just do, because that was kind of the thing when I was like, you know, in a very smaller scale, when those guys are like screaming IRA around me, you're like, it's kind of like, you know, like in jiu-jitsu when you're on like the mat with somebody who like knows what they're doing.

You're like, oh,

you can just do whatever you like.

Or like, you see this person better like my personality.

The tiger gets out of the cage.

You're like, oh, fuck.

It's happening.

Yeah.

Please go the other way.

Yeah.

When they're screaming IRA at you, you're like, oh, it's happening if they want it to happen.

Yeah, they want it to happen.

Like, no one's going to investigate me.

I did go back to Ireland years later because I was a model for Bushmills Whiskey with Sean Donnelly, Kevin McCaffrey, and Colin Dempsey.

You were a model?

Yeah, we were like, we were, we were a couple.

They did like normal guys as like Bushmills Whiskeys.

So I have a whole, but like they only used ours for like Tel Aviv, which was very bizarre.

So like on Tel Aviv, there's a giant picture of me

in the comics.

Yeah, like I don't know where somebody had shown it to me once.

I wish I had hung on.

Do you have a picture of that?

No, I wish I had hung on.

You know, Sean Donnelly may have a picture of it.

I'll see if I can get him to send it to me.

But yeah, there's Bush Bill's whiskey.

I wonder if I'm still, if it's still, if it still pulls up on Google Image.

But they kind of took us around.

That was the campaign.

That was

interestingly enough, from that, I think like that photo.

I don't want to get it wrong, but one of the guys that we were with got arrested while we were there, was accused of sexual assault

while we were there.

One of these guys?

He was one of those guys, yeah.

And I'm not sure.

And I don't really like, I love Irish whiskey.

Like, I love Talmordu whiskey.

Talma Mordew is really good, underrated.

Oh, that's it.

They was talking about the alcohol there.

Yeah, Talamordu whiskey.

That was like my favorite.

Totally.

And when I go to Patty's, I'm like,

and they say, I was like, I have a Talmud.

I'm like, Toti?

And you're like, yes, Atom Corey.

I like the way he said that.

It's so sweet and smooth.

I like smooth whiskey.

I love Canadian whiskey because of that, which everyone's like, ugh, gross, Canadian whiskey.

But I really dug it.

And the Guinness there is, the Guinness there is for real out of this world.

Like, it does feel like.

Explain that.

I mean, it just, it feels like you're drinking like an alcoholic chocolate shake almost.

Like, it's, it's so thick and delicious.

Like, I'm starting to salivate right now.

Thinking of it, like, it's, it's nothing.

You're never going to have like a Guinness here that's going to taste like it.

I think it's partially because they clean the pipes every night.

Like, the way that they prepare alcohol is a lot different.

Colin tried to explain it to me.

He goes, every, every city in Ireland has what they all would consider the best Guinness.

It's unbelievable.

And it'll be like, no, this bar or that bar has it.

It's like an A theory and a B theory.

But everyone agrees, well, those are the two best bars for Guinness.

Because he said, depending on the tap, it is better or worse.

And it does.

And it's a religious experience because, you know, I can still feel like the foam on my mustache hair.

You know what I mean?

And then how cold the actual alcohol is, you know, how old the actual Guinness is.

I mean, it really is.

I mean, it really is absolutely incredible.

Yeah, so I do think like the, you know, like the food there was like, I'm sure I didn't eat the right shit, you know, because I would get drunk and you'd go to like a fishing, you go to like a, you know, a fry shop, you know what I mean?

You would be doing the same.

Fried Mars bar?

Do they have shit like that?

I don't think I had a fried Mars bar while I was there, but I remember I would just, I would honestly eat like a lot of halal and shit like that.

I mean, it was all good stuff, but it was all just like different, you know, alterations of mayonnaise on potatoes, you know?

Yeah.

It was, yeah, that was.

Yeah, the tully is really good.

I like the tulley is unbelievable.

It's smooth because it's also like when you're getting not a high level, like a McCallan 25, right?

Okay, well, that's fine.

You're spending like 40 bucks the first shot of that or whatever.

But they're like, what's the, what's the okay whiskey?

And it's like, well, Jack Daniels is not as good as Jameson's or something like that.

But it's like, I don't know what those levels are.

Tully seems better than Jameson.

I mean, I like Tully better than Jameson.

I mean, I like Jameson too, but

I probably liked it too.

But not the one to rail.

But I would say, yeah, I would say, you know, like without a doubt,

like, as far as like cultural things to do there, the Francis Bacon Gallery was pretty incredible.

Like, I had never been introduced to their, I just had never been introduced to their art.

And it has like Eulaine Gallery.

It was like his gallery while he was there.

He was like, he was like a wild dude where he was like, I guess his lover was like the guy who broke in to his house and then they just started fucking.

You guys got a great man.

I really do.

Hey, get out of here, but first.

God damn.

It was, yeah, it was, it was,

I remember, but yeah, a lot of this time I was there, it was like stuff that I did there was like, I remember like, I was, somehow I was drunk at the Natural History Museum, which, like, you can do here, bro.

You can do in New York.

You know, you can get drunk and go to the Natural History Museum.

Ended up, like, falling down a flight of stairs and almost like crashing into a Neanderthal exhibit.

You know, like, and I remember I was so apt.

Yeah, like, like a modern air.

I dug myself up and I was like, like, eye-line with the fucking Cro-Magnon, you know, and I was like, there's really not that much difference right now.

This is like half an evolutionary stat

from where I was.

But, you know,

the theater there is fantastic.

I didn't see any comedy while I was there because I didn't give a fuck about comedy at the time.

You weren't doing it yet?

I wasn't doing anything.

But I remember, like,

not,

you know, I remember, I do remember hearing Des Bishop's name when I was there.

He was already big there.

I think he was already known there.

Wow.

So I knew, and Billy Connolly, too.

I think I vaguely remember that.

There's a few good Irish comics I met in Edinburgh

that are like big there.

But also a lot of them just moved to London and become big.

I think they have a weird thing about themselves the way Canadians and Australians do.

Like we prove it somewhere, prove it in America, and then we'll

come back and do it.

And then we'll say we liked you all along.

Yeah.

I still would say.

that like Americans have the most superior stand-up.

I mean, I don't really want to go down this road.

But like, it's not even close.

It's not even close.

When I was taking a film class in college, he was American Film Directors.

And we focused on,

who do we focus on?

I forget.

I forget.

It was like John Ford and

Spielberg and a few others, whatever.

And he goes, it's American Film Directors.

Listen, he goes, I'll say this right off the bat.

There is good cinema in other places.

You know, French have some good stuff and like whatever.

And this was 20 years ago.

So now it's even better that Norway has really good stuff now.

But he goes, it's all in the shadow of american cinema yeah and he's like it's not a debate

i'm saying they do have some good stuff it's not even close hollywood runs movies so we're going to concentrate on this and i think the stand-up it's the same shit where like you guys aren't here or there you might get a cobweb better than us sure but like basketball yeah like i'm sure there's like i'm sure there's there's better irish comics than me individually you know what i mean like right there but it's like as a whole like they're 10 years behind us yeah

in irel but i think it's also because it's it's just you have like a it, there is the melting pot thing here where you have like a bunch of people that were would have never been around each other who are now forced to be, and more black and Jewish people.

That's probably right, that's the number one thing.

Black people makes it way funnier.

They, um, they, um,

I'll say the Irish sense of humor is pretty good, huh?

Yeah, I mean, it was,

you know, I think that there's like here, if you have a sense of humor, like, oh, you should be a stand-up.

There, it's like, great.

There, it's like, yep, continue working on the farm.

Yeah, you know, or be the funniest guy at that pub.

But I don't know about you personally.

I mean, like, you and I know the funniest, like some of the funniest people in the world, but the funniest people that I've ever met are still people that I remember who are still people that aren't comedians.

Or not.

I have a couple friends that, like, I was like, oh, this guy, like, this guy, my friend Charlie, who's like an artist in Chicago who made me laugh harder than anybody else.

Some guy I knew, actually, a lot of artists.

This guy, Ethan, was an artist who I worked with at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

He's one of the funniest guys I ever met.

He had never, any desire to, like, go on stage.

And I think that's just because they don't have that.

They don't want the applause, you know.

Oh, right, exactly.

And it's also like, that's too much stress.

No, thanks.

Yeah.

Even like Danny Brown, this rapper, he's pretty funny.

He's a funny guy.

And he has a podcast on Segura's Network.

And he is funny.

And they're all like, you should go on stage.

And he's like, no.

He goes, that's way harder than what I do.

It's a total difference.

I need your attention the whole day.

As soon as you go to the mic, you're already bombing.

Like, you haven't told a single joke yet and he goes me it's like they cheer from my face and then i'm going we start a song i'm already killing it yeah well that's that's the whole thing right like music musicians want to be comedians you know yeah yeah um

of course of course you're gonna kill if you have something moderately amusing between two songs people love of course it's yeah

it's like a professor making a joke like yeah easy shut up yeah do it for drunks but i'm not sure like what what music is like what what do you think what music is considered the best?

I mean, I guess if you're going to go, like, classical music, right?

Like, if you're going to go to like...

Well, we always take for granted that rock and roll.

It's like, no, America is better for rock and roll.

It's like, England's,

like, yeah, the Beatles.

Yeah, like, okay, Jimi Hendrix is better than Thin Lizzy, but, like, Beatles are still pretty great.

Stones are still.

Yeah, yeah, exactly.

I think it's like negligible.

Theater they might have on us.

They started pretty much.

They for sure have acting on us.

100% they have.

They have acting.

They have acting.

Yeah, this is a longer history of it.

And you know who has acting on this too now?

Is Australia.

Ooh, really?

like we're like yeah australian i would say the average irish british or australian actor is way better than the american actor i bet you're right also because we really focus on movies and like looks and like not the talent part just the fame part right and it's and i think that the idea of like the like they they have that sketch They had that part

in Extras where Ian McCallan is like talking about acting.

And it's like, and then I just become the wizard.

And instead of like America versus the Stanislaski, like, oh, I've got to feel like shit.

I've got to see where my internal.

He's like, no, it's all pretend.

Like, they understand it's still just pretend.

Like, you're doing a pretend thing, and it's the craft album.

I've got a coronary while I'm preparing for a fucking fun roll.

Yeah, that's crazy.

Do you have any travel tips in general?

Oh, man.

I mean, I stayed.

I know the hostel you're going to beforehand.

There were times in.

Okay, wait, wait, wait.

That's a good one.

I haven't had that.

No, know the hostel you're going to.

Like, there was time, like, when I went to, because I went to Florence and Rome while I was there, which that was incredible.

You know, and I wouldn't, I wasn't checking in before I got there, and then they just didn't have the room for me.

And then you're like, but I was supposed to stay here.

And they're like, I didn't give a shit, you know, especially, you know, like, you know, like, especially because Trump is probably going to be the next president again.

So it's like, make sure you know where you're going next because they're going to hate us again for the next like four years.

God, you know, like, that's going to happen.

What is nice in the poorer countries, they don't hate us.

In the poor countries, we're just the people who throw money around.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

You know, they're just like, awesome.

There's a fucking white here.

They can't tell us they've seen a lot of this.

this kind of thing.

Who do you think you felt the most welcome?

Like, what country did you see?

Myanmar was up there, too.

It's very Buddhist in the Buddhist way.

Yeah.

Besides the killing of Rohingya, but everything else.

It's like, it's my culture to help you.

As long as you're just passing through.

Yeah.

And then you're like, any type of like, any type of fear you had was just like xenophobia.

It wasn't real.

It was based on like, oh, they must be up to something.

Yeah.

And it's just me reading into it because I was scared.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's all in your head, just like shadow boxing your head, that kind of shit.

But know you're hostile.

Yeah, because when you are in Asia and you're like, oh, we're full, they'll feel like, there's another one down there, and it's like 85 degrees out, so you can just walk.

It's not cold and rainy with all that shit.

But I would say that that was like a, that, that was,

and I, you know, I mean, I, it's just like,

whenever you're going to a new place, just shut the fuck up for the most part.

Right?

When you're first there, you have no idea what.

Like, all the, I made so many mistakes while I was there because I was like three sheeps to the wind.

You know, it's like, if I had acted like, you know, if I had pursued like when I was getting sober in comedy where I started arrogantly talking, like, I probably was talking there, people would have been like, oh, yeah, you're never, we're, you're, we're never going to take you seriously.

So, um, I would just, oh, yeah, yeah, just like the normal, like, be a decent human.

Yeah, listen is not a bad idea.

Like, if you're trying to learn about a place, don't tell them what they are.

Yeah, actually, experience for yourself.

Yeah, that would be, I think that would be a smart, um, smart way to go.

Um,

yeah, and I mean, I, in general, like

there's there's interesting like even in italy right there's like i probably did all the touristy things but like the most interesting thing about the sistine chapel is like the poverty right outside of it right so like you see like that's an interesting this weird dichomedy like you're actually going to the sistine chapel not to see like you know like uh all the art that's on the ceiling you're actually seeing like like oh how does the how does their lower class interact with the tourists that are there and like what do you then learn about americans by seeing how they interact with us

that that is that is the kind of shit i want to hear about in this podcast like the observations of a place that's not in the guidebook yeah but like that kind of shit because that because you know if we get an uber driver where you get some beggar and they'll roll out and give them change and you're like what and like oh i guess in your culture wherever you're from they're like well he needs some money yeah i guess we should help him out yeah yeah whoa We ignored that here.

He must still be new.

Especially if they're like young.

Yeah.

Or they look like me.

Like, fuck you.

Yeah, I mean, like, I don't know.

Like, when's the last time you've gone to St.

Mark's and just given like any money to a guy that looks like you?

Like, I don't think I ever.

I have to be like, I have to be like, hey, where's the stump?

Yeah.

Where's the mental illness?

Like, where's the wheelchair?

I've got to know.

Yeah, and that's the thing I saw in Beijing.

I saw homelessness that was like, oh, I get it.

You have no chance to be anything else.

Just stumps.

Stumps and like whatever.

It's like, oh, right, right, right.

You're not just on drugs.

It's like, you can't be part of society.

No, you can't be part of society.

Like in New York,

in New York, it's interesting because there's definitely,

you have to have a gimmick.

It's like being a stand-up here.

You have to have a gimmick, man.

I like the guy who's a girl.

Like, Fernyface guys always gets the money.

That guy comes in, new sneakers each time.

They're like, beat it.

This is your scam.

All right, you got me on that one.

It's my birthday guy, but like, it's been every day this week.

Shut up.

Well, or the guy who like carries around the newspaper article of how he got impoverished, where it's like he shows you the fire, and you're like, but you went to Staples and

had this blown up.

You had enough money to get this.

Because yeah, you reinvested it.

I don't know.

Trying to go off the streets.

But if you want to go on YouTube, leave your own memories of the place that you've been.

What were your favorite things to do

in Ireland?

Everybody out there.

And also, it'll help him.

Wait, okay.

So on this episode, leave your favorite memories of Ireland.

On Dan's special,

Bye, everybody.

Tune in next week.

Well, that's the episode, everybody.

Man, I hope you enjoyed it.

Interesting, now that we're doing these countries more than once, to see the difference between trips to the same place.

Like Fitzsimmons' trip was really nothing like Dan St.

Germain's trip.

Check out Dance Fatty Dance on YouTube right now.

It's at the 800 Pound Gorilla site.

Dan St.

Germain, Dance Fatty Dance, full comedy special.

We'll be a link to it in the bottom.

Guys, support these comedians.

Leave them the comments.

Donate to his cause if he has some.

That's how you make independent specials and not make any money.

And if you want us to keep putting these out, like you should want Dan to, because he's one of the, like, the better comics in the world.

Give a couple shackles.

You know?

Give a couple doubloons.

Is doubloons from Dublin?

That can't be right.

I just found out that Sardinia is known for sardines.

That does make sense.

Yeah, but we'll do some of these like double, even triple, even quadruple countries.

Like me and Bobby just went to Cuba.

Me and Bobby Kelly just got back from Cuba.

We're there during a hurricane.

The whole episode is coming about it, but it's going to be way different than Sean Patton's bachelor party, Cuba.

Although we did see a lot of hookers, but like,

you know, I kept saying like, uh, El Tiene un

una familia.

My Spanish got good, bro.

So we recorded one there, but I got a lot of editing to do because you can't show anybody.

It's so communist.

If you show somebody in the background and you're saying something you're not allowed to do, they could go to jail for like decade.

So it's like, I got to edit out every mention of anyone, any place.

It's going to be a lot of fucking mutes.

A lot of mutes.

My tour is now.

By the way, subscribe to this, guys.

We should be at 100,000 subscribers right now.

We're almost getting up to the jail.

I wanted to get it by the end of the year and we were stuck at like 95,000.

Subscribe on YouTube.

Subscribe on Spotify, wherever you are, just hit the subscribe button right now.

It will make me happy.

I've got my whole tour coming.

It's the farewell tour.

Austin, Tahoe, Pittsburgh, Providence, Salt Lake City, Brea, Nashville, San Antonio, Tampa, Denver, Schaumburg, Atlanta, Portland, San Jose, Orlando, Fort Lauderdale, Seattle, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, and Anchorage.

If you live in one of those cities or nearby, get tickets for that at ari shafir.com.

And then, guys, it ends June 18th in Anchorage.

The last show before that is April 6th in Edmonton.

And then I'm done until 2027.

So there's no, like, I'm sure I'll be around again soon.

I won't be.

And any of those cities, I'm not going back to.

Austin, I'll go back to.

Austin, I'll go back to for sure.

But the rest of them, I'm not going back.

So, like,

well, I'm doing a best of in Denver.

So I'll go back there with like another hour.

But the rest of those cities, I'm, that's it.

You're not going to see me in 2027 either.

You'll probably see me in like

2029 or 2030.

So I,

if you want to see me, I'll see you by one of those.

Especially if, I don't know, whatever.

If I'm like not coming out, mention this.

Tell one of the employees, like, hey, I have a vinyl.

And Ari said he would sign the vinyl.

I might just make you wait like 15 minutes, 20 minutes before it lets everybody clear.

I also might come out and just like take pictures.

Depends on my mood.

But that vinyl, bro, I'm going to sign that.

If you bring it to a show, that's it for me.

Until next week, when we go to Laos, that should be fun with Wanton Don.
