Egypt (and the Middle East) w/ Rob Lowe | You Be Trippin' with Ari Shaffir

Packages by Expedia.

You were made to occasionally take the hard route to the top of the Eiffel Tower.

We were made to easily bundle your trip.

Expedia, made to travel.

Flight-inclusive packages are at all protected.

Where you been and where you going?

This is our Reese Travel Show.

Yeah, we're going to talk about travel today.

It's UB

Trippin.

Yeah.

Hello, everybody.

Welcome to UB Tripping.

It's a travel podcast.

It's the only travel podcast endorsed by the FDA.

Rob Lowe is my guest today.

Fucking, thanks for coming in, buddy.

Hey, this is, are you kidding me?

I love travel.

You have maps here.

Yeah.

I could study a map or a globe all day long.

Yeah.

It's both inspiring and depressing.

Inspiring because you go, hey, I've been there.

Oh, I've been there.

And then go, God, am I ever going to get to go there?

I don't know.

You know what strikes me on these maps?

How big this is?

Kazakhstan?

Huge.

I just thought it would be like, you know, like the size of like Georgia or something.

Well, and then there's the whole thing about that

this map isn't truly a representation.

The West Wing did

an episode, a B story, about the map makers coming in and showing what the world really looks like.

Really?

And

it's shocking, like the way the United States looks versus other things.

And it's a whole,

there's a name for that type of map, I forget.

But the theory is that is the way the world should look.

And like, you know, people, you know.

Well, when you flatten it, what does it change a different, like,

yeah, that's, it's all that stuff.

That's right.

Also, I noticed I tried to switch it up with this one where the USA is always fucking right here.

Ah,

but that's not, that's not a real thing.

There's also a part of the globe you can look at from space where it looks like the Earth is entirely made of water.

Oh, really?

Yeah, like pretty almost, yeah.

Interesting.

Iceland, Greenland.

I'm obsessed with the fact that

it turns out Greenland has no green and only ice.

And Iceland is mostly green.

Yeah.

They said that was to throw off the invaders.

I don't believe that.

I don't believe that.

I don't think they were that.

I think they had like focus groups to figure that shit out.

One would have gone and be like, hey, they're lying.

There's actually a bunch of resources.

We should go take them.

Well, how about this?

You pass Iceland on the way to Greenland.

So.

Yeah, nobody's going to turn back and be like, oh, guys, it's that one.

Yeah, no.

It doesn't hold water for me.

You ever look back at the shit they taught you in school and be like, wait, now that I'm an adult, you were lying.

George Washington was incapable of lying.

Our first leader.

Yeah, he never told a lie.

He physically couldn't do it, a 12-year-old.

Yeah, and he, and why did anyone care that he chopped down the apple tree?

Oh, is that where the lie came from?

And somebody said, George, who chopped down this apple tree?

And he goes, I did.

I did.

yeah we saw you obviously you're caught yeah hello but i never got my teachers must have been so bad that all i remember is he never told a lie and he chopped down an apple tree but not the fact that they're those stories go together yeah he admitted to what he did something bad i just thought that my teachers thought it was fascinating that he chopped a fucking apple tree down once who cares You ever see his teeth?

What they thought of his teeth?

They were wooden.

He lost it all in just really bad eating habits and disease.

But

didn't everybody have wooden teeth?

I think so, but we just can't do it.

That's so good.

What are we looking up here?

George Washington's teeth.

Oh, my God.

No way.

Like, that's what it would have been.

George Washington's teeth, not from wood.

But slaves.

From slaves?

What?

He had slaves' teeth?

Oh, boy.

Yeah, that's his history on a berry.

That's definitely a new bra.

They did not teach me that.

No.

Oh, my God.

The horrific America.

Lord.

Let's go somewhere besides America.

Where do you want to tell me about it?

Is it said around here?

Well, yeah.

I mean, so I took the trip of my life

was

a little under two years ago, I did

Israel,

Jordan.

and Egypt.

What brought this on?

Why did you decide to go?

I have a very good friend who named Peter Guber.

And Peter owns the Golden State Warriors, among other things.

Very successful producer, businessman, and loves travel and puts together a guy's trip about every, about every two years, every year.

And they're always extraordinary.

Like,

no expenses spared.

Everything, I mean, like, we had the Giza Pyramid complex to ourselves.

What?

Yeah.

Or like, he figures out a way way that you can.

Like after hours, before hours, something like that.

It was

Sunset, Giza Pyramid Complex.

And

that's just one of the things.

We biked into Wadi Room in Jordan.

And there's a.

What is Wadi Room?

Look up Wadi Room.

So Wadi Room is where they shot the Martian,

where they shot Lawrence of Arabia.

It's definitely the most beautiful place I saw.

So, yeah.

Damn.

So, and that's not even a great photo.

It's the most beautiful, iconic sort of desert,

monolithic mountain structures, no one for miles.

And there you go.

That's more what it looks like.

It looks like literally the Marcia.

God damn.

Yeah, it really does.

It looks like Mars.

Looks like Mars.

And we biked into it.

Could you bike on the desert floor?

Mm-hmm.

They would special bikes.

Oh, wow.

That was...

Damn.

That seems so fucking cool.

It was really, really cool.

How long did it take you to get in there?

And then we

went on camel safari.

It took us a day to bike in.

I mean, it was really hardcore.

It was hard.

And then

I got to spend my birthday on the Nile.

I had never been to the Nile.

It was everything I hoped.

The Nile was like Africa to me.

Well, it is in Africa technically, I guess, northern Africa.

But the vibe,

the vibe of the Nile, the energy of it, you just feel something.

And

Egypt was...

Egypt is magic.

Magic.

It's like, I didn't get it till I went there.

Right?

It's like magic's just living there.

I suspected it would be magic, and it was above and beyond the Valley of the Kings.

Yeah.

But the fact that they carved this shit into a mountain, you ever step back for a second and be like,

even now, it's crazy.

It's

the entire trip there

and then Petra, of course,

is really stunning because they don't even know when that was.

They still cannot tell you.

Yeah.

Describe coming down.

That little tube, the little yeah pathway

and then it opens up into this yeah it's

it doesn't which by the way look at how perfectly pristine it is it doesn't look old because it's protected by wind and erosion because of where they built it that's why it's so crystal

i mean look at what it should be all look you see people at the very very bottom there that's like

that's how massive it is petra is in yeah right it should be completely faded down yeah it should be erode like the sphinx or the pyramids it's not but what you don't see when you look at that famous photo yeah is just to the right of it uh-huh are all of these burial chambers right like there's those weird and they are eroded and they do look ancient the holes the holes right those crazy holes

and like so you have that looks like caveman crazy old ancient and then you have that which looks like that looks like it could be a brownstone in new york city yeah it really does.

If it was smaller,

you look at that and go, yeah, I bet that looks like they built that about, yeah, that must have, I bet you Abraham Lincoln spoke there.

And then we christened it.

Yeah.

Dude, we were going down on some tour, me and my brother, and the guy kept telling us about the irrigation techniques and stuff like that.

I kind of wandered off.

And then I came back like an hour later.

I was like, Michael, drop this loser.

Let's go fucking explore.

Yo, dude, what is with the guides?

Okay.

It's so funny you say that.

Irrigate.

So our guide in Israel, God bless him.

Yeah.

All he wanted to talk about was the irrigation.

I'm not kidding, but irrigation.

And I realized everything he was telling me

was 1947

to today.

So here we are in one of the oldest areas of the world where civilization has been talked about since the beginning of time.

And he's hitting me with, you know, this piping system was put in in the 1950s.

I'm like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Dude, who gives a fuck?

No.

This is insane.

It's like, you know, we have more solar panels in this country.

I get it.

I get it.

I don't know what the deal is.

Bad guides are the bane of mine.

I went to Gettysburg once.

I love Gettysburg.

I love doing historical stuff,

military historical stuff.

And I knew more about Gettysburg than he did.

Or if I did, maybe I didn't, but I was more interested in

the nitty-gritty.

And it can be super rough, but obviously a great guide is also makes all the difference if you can get them.

I mean, if you get a good one, it gives you access and stuff.

Like when we went there, we went from a lot to there, and they got us the stamp really fast and got us over the border.

It's hard for like if you have a drive step.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And then that part's nice, but then it's like, I'll see you guys at 5 p.m.

We actually went to northern Israel

and

we're on the border of

well, I've been to Lebanon as well.

Jesus, dude, you get after it.

The Becca Valley in Lebanon.

By the way, Lebanon is one of those beautiful countries I've ever seen in my life.

Lebanon is a more beautiful version of Israel.

Interesting.

Where they talk about the cedars of Lebanon, you know, that's on the flag.

And they do have these amazing pines.

It just,

it looks like southern Greece, and they're right next to each other, but you think,

for whatever reason, you don't think it's going to be as pretty as it is.

And it's, it's just.

they used to say that damascus beirut was like was the the garden capital yeah and the intelligentsia of the middle ages and they're still there and 100 the old families are still there and you'll be in the middle of talking and the power will go out for three hours every day nobody cares

there you know the the that there's that insane explosion you've seen the footage of that thing blowing up in the harbor and um the fireworks vector or someplace just it's it was a

it was some recently right ammonium nitrate thing like that footage and like they just take it in stride

how do you feel about that when you're going to like to go from like i mean i've you know they they wait on you hand and foot in hollywood yes and then you go to a place like that where it's just like nah it ain't that experience anymore Well, I seek it out because of the very thing you're talking about.

So like when I go to Africa,

it's kind of a fight I have with my wife and one of my children.

I have one son who's a huge outdoorsman, and he's with me.

But my actor's son, GoFigure, wants to be coddled along with his mommy.

Yeah.

And they want the Abercrombie and Kent.

I want

fly camps.

I want to go and pitch a tent

in Africa in areas where no one has ever pitched a tent before.

Like, that's what I want when I go there.

And if it rains on us and there's puddles and we have to sleep in the wall, I don't care.

What do they say about it?

They think you're an idiot.

They like it for two days tops.

They think you're like crazy?

And they would not do it if it weren't for me.

Wow.

It's nice, though.

It's a pest.

Yeah.

I mean, in the adventures you get, like, one time I was flooded out in a flash flood.

Yeah.

Where?

And

one was in Tanzania and one was Kenya.

It was a flash flood.

Literally, the river rose overnight and almost swept us away.

What did you do?

Just quickly.

Our tents were destroyed, and we had to go sleep in the cars

in the Range Rover, the other, whatever, mountain rover where they are.

It's fucking wild.

And

I also like to do crazy shit that I shouldn't do.

Like

last time we were there, we were in the

hang on, in the Rift Valley.

Now, I've heard of that.

I remember the Rift Valley is where the first humanoids were found.

Okay.

And I'm a runner.

And I was like, could I, and I run every day.

Like, I'm here in New York.

Can't wait to go to Central Park.

I'm like, could I do my run today out there?

And they're like,

we'd have to have guns.

And I mean, people don't do that.

Because of the animals?

The animals.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

But I got to do it.

Really?

And one of my favorite photos is my son took a picture of me running in the Rift Valley where the first human probably,

not probably, the first humans ran right there.

And you're running and you're looking out and you're going, oh my God, I'm going to run over to those drafts.

You know, fucking wasn't.

a park.

You sort of run over in the area of the drafts.

Of course, they're long gone.

And then you're running for a while.

And then you see these low-level bushes.

You're like, hmm, I'm going to, I'm going to avoid those bushes.

I don't know what's in there.

And it's a thing, like to run in Africa wondering if there is a lion

behind a bush.

That's the people that are trailing you with visceral, like other level.

Yeah, dude, if I'm hiking anywhere here and I hear like rustling, if it's usually a squirrel, but I'm so fucking on edge because it might be a moose or a bear.

What I told myself, it's clearly not true, is that it's so wide open,

it's not like walking in Santa Barbara Mountains, or literally, it's probably more dangerous because a fucking mountain line could be above you and you'd never even know it.

Yeah, you feel like, oh, I'd see a herd of stampeding elephants if they came towards me.

Yeah, but but the hunting animals, they smell you from like two miles out.

It's

I wouldn't do it.

Tell you what, I wouldn't do it again.

I would not run.

I'm going to go for the torch.

You would not do it again.

There's something to walk, though, where no one's walked.

Like if you get off a trail for a while and risk poison ivy,

touch a tree that like no one's touched this one.

That's what I want.

I want stuff that no one's done before.

Damn, bro.

That was lucky.

I was lucky he liked this fucking format of the show, and he's a traveler himself.

So reach out to them and pressure them to do you be tripping.

Now let's get back to the episode of this fucking epic trip to Egypt, Jordan, and Israel.

Fucking, God, if I had as much money as him, I would do it like him.

Kudos, man.

Let's get back to the episode.

Tell me about Egypt a little more.

So all of you guys went there?

It was a really, really good group.

And we did every

greatest hit of Egypt

in like

two and a half days because we had planes to buses to trains, and it was like a motorcade, and everything was like a Swiss watch.

We got to spend...

all of the time in the places you would want to see.

But if you weren't going with somebody like Peter, who's so generous,

just to go to Valley of the Kings and then to get to Cairo, it would take you a day and a half, whatever it is.

I'm not really familiar with the logistics, but it would have, it would have, there's no, it's, we did a

10-day vacation in three days.

Yeah, I had probably two, two or three days there and didn't touch half of what you touched.

We went from the top of the Nile to the bottom of the Nile.

Wow.

South Alexandria?

Yep, Luxor.

Luxor.

I mean, you name it, we saw it.

But the value, I will say, taking a selfie with King Tut

was pretty sick.

Dude, you got to send me these pictures.

I want to put them in the video.

Oh, I will.

Okay.

It's like, you're like.

I mean, it's a selfie with King Tut.

It's kind of gross in a way, I feel like.

Fuck that.

Fuck that.

He didn't have that technology.

He would have loved it.

Tut would have loved it.

That's why they entombed.

They want to live on forever.

They want to live on forever.

That's right.

This is why they did it.

That someone someday would be taking a selfie of him.

Yeah.

That's so fucking cool.

It's and it's just, and the thing that blows your mind, and it makes perfect sense, it's like, duh, but it never occurs to you, is

there's, if they dug anywhere,

they're going to, they don't, they purposely don't dig because they know they're going to find stuff.

And then when they find stuff, nobody has the money to properly excavate stuff.

There's no money to excavate, none.

So, they don't want to find stuff because they know they're going to find something incredible.

And it's everywhere, like everywhere.

Yeah, I saw a little bit of like excavation near there, near like in that whole big park of the, of the, of the, whatever pyramids, but there was like a little and it was off to the side.

And like, you don't know how long ago.

So, when I was in Valley of the Kings, they said they were about, they had just discovered a new tomb

and, but they did, and they've known about it forever, but they never had the money.

They know where shit is.

That's insane.

And they just own the money.

So they got the, and they just announced it a couple of, I think a couple of months ago, whatever, the latest announcement out of Valley of the Kings.

And then

I was,

what was the other announcement about?

There was some other thing that they were.

I'll think of it.

But the point being,

it's just for lack of funds more than anything else.

Oh, I I know what was.

The great

Egyptologist, the one that you see on TV.

One main guy.

The one main guy whose name is escaping me.

Yeah.

He

hadn't announced, but he had just discovered

the workers' complex.

He was very, very adamant that the pyramids were not built by slaves.

What?

And who?

That's me.

That's the Jews.

They're taking that away from us?

Yeah, they're taking it away.

What?

Revisionists.

We did one good thing with our hands.

One good fucking thing.

Yeah, that's him.

Yeah.

Zahi Hawaz.

Yep.

And

wanted to be very clear.

And that they weren't,

and that they were built by people, not ancient aliens or anything else, because he also found records of what they did on what days.

Like, these stones removed on this day.

They didn't get away, really?

Yeah.

Oh.

Interesting.

because they love that explanation oh i'm a big ancient alien guy so i so what you don't like it well no i was going to the sphinx going looking for the water erosion because that's the that's the big thing is you can see around the sphinx what looks to any reasonable person like water erosion and the last time there would have been water yeah predates anything that anybody is talking about in terms of when these things were built because it's not on the pyramids right that's right so it's in between you know anything about baha'i i probably

they say

take the any similarity between all the religions.

They're like, that's probably the word of God.

And then everything else got like obfuscated over the years.

That makes sense.

But like, don't kill is in every religion.

So like, that's probably true.

Right.

And there's a flood story in pretty much everything.

Oh, yeah.

There's a flood.

There's a flood story in everything.

So they were like, there was a flood somewhere.

For sure.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's that the Sphinx is a different time period, right?

It's a completely different

architecture.

Well, when you look at the head and you go, that clearly,

that was there when the first Egyptians showed up.

What?

And they knocked what we think was probably a lion's head off of it and made it into a Sphinx head.

I mean, it doesn't match it all.

The proportions are all fucked up.

And so the question is, who built the Sphinx and when?

And even this guy, who is Zari Hawass, who is the, even he did not, nobody knows.

Yeah.

Literally not.

So you're saying they built another.

They changed that head afterwards.

Yeah, look at at it.

Of course, look at it.

Look at the scope of it.

Yeah.

It is way off.

Yeah, and look at that.

God damn.

Look at the feet versus the head.

And trust me.

So you mean to me the people that built the perfectly geometric pyramids were going to fuck up something like that?

No way.

No.

Did you meet people when you were there in Egypt?

Did I meet?

Yeah.

Yeah, what did you think of them?

It was so interesting that they were like, please tell people that Egypt is safe.

I heard that multiple, multiple times.

Interesting.

That people really wanted people to come back to Egypt.

Because they had some terrorism there.

When I went, it was like the

tourism had bottomed out and they were like desperate for like, come take a trip in the Nile, come do like everything because no one was going.

Well, and you know,

we today couldn't do our trip to

Israel.

That we stayed at some fancy

Amun Giri up in northern Israel that's been closed since since the war broke out.

And the day we arrived in Israel, and this is so typical of the region, we get off the plane.

We're going right to dinner.

We're starving.

And we get on the plane and they go,

change of plans.

We're going back to the hotel tonight.

We will have dinner in the hotel.

Great.

And we're like, what happened to the rest?

And they go, well, there was an incident there last night.

And

we just think for security reasons we shouldn't go.

And you turned the two people were gunned down.

And it's just a fact of life.

It's just the way they roll.

And it's not like here when you're like, oh, there's a shooting.

You're like, oh, well, there was a fight.

It's just, it's a different kind of violence.

It is.

It's weirdly accepted and yet taken way more seriously all at the same time, if that makes any sense.

And I'll tell you the other thing is the people, and this is the cliche, but it's true.

Same in Lebanon.

And obviously, there's no love lost between Israel and Lebanon.

But the people are almost exactly, in terms of how they present and what it's like to spend time with them, exactly the same.

Isn't it crazy?

The food's almost identical.

The food's identical.

They look identical.

They act identical.

They want to live life.

They want to have fun.

They don't give one fuck.

They're ready to, like, today is the last day.

Like, there's no pretense.

Everybody's, it's amazing.

Israeli chicks will party.

Dude,

Israeli chicks are the most forward

on planet earth.

And I get it because they don't have a tomorrow.

Yeah, we got no time.

Let's go.

No, they don't have a tomorrow.

And just think about it in terms of like,

do you want to date?

Do you want to do this?

Do you want to that?

I want to have kids.

You got to start cracking.

So they'll come right up to you and go, what are you doing tonight?

Whoa.

Damn.

It's amazing.

I tell my sons who are single.

Yeah.

Get out there.

I'm like, there are two places I would go if I were a single American and I had the wherewithal.

Number one with a bullet would be Israel.

There's not a question.

The most beautiful women

and the most downed clown.

Yeah.

Maybe Australia is right there.

Australian chicks are wild.

And the other one is the Lexington Queen Nightclub in Ropangi in Tokyo.

What is that?

Because it's a model's paradise and they've all been there forever.

Yeah.

And they're just desperate to see Americans.

Oh, wow.

And I'm like,

you'll find like 22-year-old Cameron Diaz

at the Ropongi.

Yeah, just like a nobody.

So happy to see a corn-fed boy with not a pot to piss in.

Like you can live like a king.

Wow.

It's still there, by the way.

Did people,

when you were out in the Middle East here, do people know who you were?

Or was it kind of, yeah, tell me about it.

Well,

there's something disconcerting about walking into Wadi room

and the guide going, you just missed Oprah.

You know what I mean?

You're like, you want to be like, I've met her or whatever.

You're like,

she's my neighbor in Montecito.

And then I was,

it's running into people in obscure places is very disconcerting.

It jars

your reality.

But also as an actor,

you know, it's great to, it makes you feel good when you're recognized in obscure places, like in the middle of the...

Yeah.

I mean, it's cool that you shouldn't have a reach went that far.

Yeah, right?

Yeah.

But also, I bet you miss.

I heard some interview with...

Could have been the guy from the graduate.

I'm sorry, I got a block right now.

Oh,

Dustin Hoffman.

Yeah.

And he goes, I try to observe people so I can mimic them when I'm acting.

And then you can't do it when you're being observed yourself.

They're acting around you.

So you can't get a real, because the only time I can get a real look at people is when I'm shitting and I'm seeing through the crack of the door.

People are talking to the people.

That's amazing.

Blacked out windows in a car.

Yeah, yeah.

Like, I love that.

I love to go and like

smoke a cigar and just and watch people.

Like, and you can do it if you're in a, if you're in a car with a window, the tinting on the window or, you know, to you're not observed.

If you keep moving, you can do it.

If you keep moving, you can go through anywhere.

Yeah.

But you got to keep moving.

And that's what gets hard when you're in a museum or you're at a monument or you're at a place like the Giza complex where you really want to spend the time and you want to take it in.

And I'll show you some photos I took.

Yeah.

Sean, you can pull those photos up

on my phone of Egypt.

They're spectacular.

Yeah.

Dude, I was in Guatemala and and this guy was with hostels.

We're talking to Caroline about hostels and how fun they are.

Oh, gosh.

I've never done a hostel thing.

Here's what I'd say: I'd rather sleep on this.

I feel like I'd almost rather sleep on the street.

Like, I went really down and dirty.

They're fun.

They are fun.

That's one step up from sleeping on the street, though.

Yeah.

Right.

But we saw at some like local festival, we saw some guy from the show Suits.

I didn't recognize him.

My buddy was like, that's that guy from Suits.

I'm like, I don't watch the show.

I don't know.

And he goes, I should go talk to him.

And I'm like, 100%, you should leave him alone.

He is in the middle of fucking nowhere, Guatemala.

He doesn't want to be recognized.

And he goes, you sure?

I'm like, I'm positive.

Positive.

I can't express to you how sure I am that you should leave him alone.

I was in

some corner of Kowloon Bay.

You can come over.

in

Hong Kong once, and some guy came up to me and said, I had the best time at your birthday party last week.

This is when I was in the 80s and I had a big party.

I'm like,

this is too insane.

You got some fire.

You're good.

What's that, Shawnee?

It's not a TV show.

Charlie Sheen is an icon of decadence.

I lit the fuse and my life turns into everything it wasn't supposed to be.

He's going the distance.

He was the highest paid TV star of all time.

When it started to change, it was quick.

He kept saying, no, no, no, I'm in the hospital now, but next week I'll be ready for the show.

Now, Charlie's sober.

He's going to tell you the truth.

How do I present this with any class?

I think we're past that, Charlie.

We're past that, yeah.

Somebody call action.

Aka Charlie Sheen, only on Netflix, September 10th.

If you thought goldenly breaded McDonald's chicken couldn't get more golden, think golder because new sweet and smoky special edition gold sauce is here.

Made for your chicken favorites at Participate in McDonald's for limited time.

Okay, you just scroll.

Damn, you're in the middle of the...

You took a fucking helicopter there?

I'm telling you, it was plane, trains, and automobiles.

Wow.

Dude, I mean, this is the middle of fucking nowhere.

Look at that.

I mean, you were there.

That's northern Israel, that one.

That's day one.

Sometimes I was driving from a lot to Tel Aviv.

Yeah.

And I'm like, why are they fighting over this?

There's nothing here.

Nothing.

It's just fucking real shit.

You should be diving in a lot.

That's the other thing.

The red sea there, I didn't get to dive like on the sinai peninsula that would be insane but i did in a lot um in that in the her ghada or that lake or whatever no no in the red sea red sea yeah where's this this is um

jordan that's uh that is uh wada room damn

yep i think i went there as a kid but i didn't appreciate it god damn it really is foreign it kind of reminds me of zion a little bit it's very zion

very much so here's what's disappointing who thing?

You go to the Galapagos Island

and you go, oh, I'm on Catalina.

Looks exactly like it.

Yeah.

I'm not even being facetious.

Exactly like it.

And you've traveled your mind away to get there.

God.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It takes forever to get there.

You can really only go from Quito or whatever,

from Waikil.

Is your meals?

Yeah, just the meals, the food is next level.

I could eat.

What would you like the best between those three countries?

Or just tell me about Egyptian and Jordanian fruit.

I really don't know much about them at all.

I mean, honestly, the food is similar enough that it was, I probably

couldn't tell you the doses, but I could eat Middle Eastern food all day.

I could eat it three times a week.

I could eat it every meal, really.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And Yafo and get those.

What about coffee in Egypt?

Super strong, super good.

I'm a big coffee guy.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So, yeah, that was.

I have more.

How about that?

Ron Ferra on a camel.

That's me on a camel.

That's on a camel?

It's on a camel.

This is me on a camel with that.

Which the Bedouins gave me.

What do you mean?

Who gets a camel?

Who gets gifted a camel?

You can't marry one of their daughters.

There's my guys.

There's the Bedouins

doing a little ceremony for us.

The greatest.

Oh, here we go.

Here's the selfie, Mr.

Tut.

Oh, yeah, let me see that one.

Did they ever tell you no pictures in the tombs?

No, we had it thing so wired.

Are you kidding me?

They told me no pictures, and I was like, okay, they're like, but give me like a 10, and you can take as many pictures as you want.

I have the selfie similar, but that's that's King Tut.

Wow.

How old is that?

That photo?

No, no, no.

I mean, like, how old is the tomb of Tut?

Tomb of Tut.

Here's a good one.

This is my favorite.

This is one of my favorite photos.

This is a good one.

That's it, bro.

That's so fucking good.

I mean, that's, we just got.

Because also, when you were born in Dayton, Ohio, and even moved to Malibu, the odds of you ever getting there are extremely slim.

Yes, and I,

for whatever reason, love, I have the travel bug.

Yeah.

And I've never regretted traveling anywhere.

And the older I get,

I realize the most important things that you can have are memories.

They're just the most important thing.

And you have to work at it.

You have to commit to it.

They don't just happen to you.

You have to make sacrifices.

Sometimes you got to pay for it.

But you have to be willing to show up.

Like, I know guys for this trip I'm talking about.

I know guys that turned it down.

Oh, so when is it again?

So, wait, so wait, it's 10 days?

Wait, but wait, wait, but but, but, but I, but I can be back by the, fuck that.

Yeah.

You crazy?

Are you nuts?

Are you nuts?

It's a trip of a fucking lifetime.

No, no, I went to the producers of my TV show.

I'm like,

I'm going on this trip, so figure it out.

Wow.

Been on the show for five years.

There are 17 other cast members.

Yeah, it's so hard.

Everyone's like, I want to do mine here.

I'm like, I need 10 days off.

I need to do, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm throwing down for this.

Yeah.

Like, as if I would

they

giving you pushback?

They were great.

They understand.

And look, granted, not everybody has the...

I am fully aware as I'm talking that

I'm in a rarefied era that can pull this.

But I still take it.

I heard fucking Nicholson is like, I don't shoot before 10.

And they're like, all right, we'll work around it.

Well, and there are also people who have every bit of entree that I have that don't do it.

Right.

Wait, I don't know.

So where are we staying?

I don't know, but I don't want to do it a bit of Hannah.

It's like, well, he's not taking care of it.

The guy who owns a fucking NBA team is taking care of it.

It'll be good.

It'll be good.

It's going to be good.

Well, I don't know.

I hear it's hot there.

Or I don't know.

What time of year is it again?

How do those people feel?

Do I need shots?

But I hear like the I'm not very good with altitude.

Look, there are places I don't want to go that I don't have any particular Johnson to go.

But again, if you're...

If it's all tricked out, I'm going even to those places.

Yeah.

How do those people feel when you got back and you were telling them about it?

They can't believe it.

Yeah.

Yeah.

They don't want to hear it, probably.

They don't want to hear it.

And you can't, it's very hard.

I find

you must see this doing your show that it's impossible

to describe to somebody.

For example, one of my favorite places in the world is

the Brando,

which is a resort on a Tahitian island whose Tahitian name I would butcher.

Okay.

And

to go bone fishing with Marlon Brando's son in Tahiti.

You can't describe that to anybody.

Right.

You go,

like, nothing.

It's a feeling more than a, and then a picture, like, that won't do it.

It's, it's walking all day and coming over a hill and then seeing the ruins you were trying to get to.

Machu Picchu.

There's a feeling.

When you, I hiked into Machu Picchu.

I hiked into Machu Picchu.

Hiking into Machu Picchu is

probably the, if I had to pick one number one thing, that Egypt Middle East trip in its totality, nothing will ever come close.

But in terms of one event,

hiking into Machu Picchu for sure would be it.

And it's the very thing I thought would be underwhelming.

Like, I would have bet you anything.

I would walk over and go, like, you know, Chevy Chase in National Lampoon's vacation when he sees the Grand Canyon.

He goes,

okay.

And he's gone.

Like, that's what I thought Machu Picchu would be, and it wasn't.

It was profoundly moving and worth every second of schlepping and hiking, and it was unreal.

Wow, I got to get there.

Do you ever have places you go where you're underwhelmed?

Let me think.

Probably, but also just like the smells of those places is enough to

make this awesome.

You know, it's like, yeah,

there's minor pyramids.

You know, in the Southeast Asia, you got to do them in the right order.

See, Southeast Asia, I've got to get to.

I'm very under-traveled

in Southeast Asia.

I've got to do India at some point.

Yeah, me too.

And I want to go to Antarctica,

but I feel like they're going to open it up more.

Well, I know they are.

They're doing tourism is a huge thing now.

Yeah.

And I want to wait till you can get into places in Antarctica that people haven't gone before.

It's hard to get to.

Really hard to get to.

My brother, my half-brother's in the army, and so he goes everywhere and tries food everywhere.

And he, that was his last stop.

And they had to turn back because some lady got fucking thrown up in a boat.

It was like pretty wavy.

They said three points of contact all the time: move one leg, then move an arm, move one leg, and she didn't listen.

And they had to turn it around.

See, that's brutal.

Yeah.

You got it, and you got to be able to get to all the continents.

I think that's the only one I haven't been to.

Where else is really calling you?

I mean, it's hard to not get

sometimes you want to go back to places you've been.

I really want to go.

Oh, I can tell you.

It's hard to be like, I had so much fun.

I want to get back there versus I already saw it.

Well, also, there's so much to be seen in Africa.

Like,

I haven't seen the gorillas.

I want to do some

like in the Zambezi River, do whitewater rafting.

I really want to do that.

I think Africa is always, you can't go wrong there.

I'm so scared scared of Africa.

It's the best.

Tell me why I'm wrong about being scared.

What are you scared of?

I don't know.

I think it might honestly be some sort of like, like xenophobia or just possibly innate racism where it just feels like it's just more dangerous there than these other places.

It is absolutely...

I saw poachers all the time.

Yeah, but you don't have ivory on you.

So it's like,

they will kill you.

They don't want to be found out.

I mean, I didn't say them all the time, but I definitely saw poachers.

What do they do when you see them?

If you're in the wrong place at the wrong time, they'll kill you.

They will.

But when I saw them, luckily.

Oh, damn, that's the fucking thing.

Luckily,

they hadn't seen us.

Oh, my God.

And that was 30 years ago when it was really super gnarly.

And then I went on an anti-poaching expedition when I was in South Africa.

By the way, South Africa.

is one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen in my life.

Yeah.

By the way, the hardest to get to.

I mean, I've never suffered more

than getting to South Africa.

And Cape Town, South Africa, might be the most beautiful city, but also

you get off the plane there and you

feel

in the air thick

the potential that this place could blow up any day, any day, over anything.

And it would just be over.

You want to talk about danger?

Go to South Africa.

Damn.

And you will feel it.

Like uprising type stuff?

Yeah.

Yeah.

It is a dangerous, dangerous, so

beautiful.

Like, remember that scene in Godfather when they're like, Cuba's like, the guy's like, hey, I'm retiring.

Good luck, everybody.

Do you remember that?

And then he's like, oh, everybody's like, oh, we got to get out of here right now.

That could happen anytime.

Damn.

Never been to Cuba?

I'm going.

No way.

I'm going for the election.

I'm going to skip out in the election.

So I can like not be here for it.

I love that.

Just smoke a Cuban cigar and be like, whatever.

And ignore all of it.

Whatever.

What abs.

It'll get settled.

Yeah.

It'll get settled without me.

Yeah.

I always feel like

I'm getting old enough now that I see why old people get jaded.

And the reason they get jaded is they've heard it all.

And I cannot tell.

I have yet to live through an election that wasn't the most important election of my lifetime.

God damn.

It's everyone.

And you know, like, more than the Lincoln one?

Yeah, more than the one that was about

whether we're going to have slavery or not.

Yeah, it's like, I don't know.

Really?

The one right before World War II?

Really?

It's always the most important.

It's like, it's the boy who cried Wolf.

Yeah, everybody's Hitler.

All right.

We got 20 Hitler.

I remember Ronald Reagan.

Yeah, we hated him.

He was going to start World War III.

No, he actually ended the Cold War.

Yeah, but he was a bad guy.

You're right.

So it's like, it's just boring actually.

I can't.

I can't.

I can't.

I can't.

The President of the United States can't even fire his personal chef.

He can't.

It's all bullshit.

It's so funny people, when you tell people you don't care, they're like, what do you mean?

You're like, I'm not against you.

I just don't care.

Because at the end of the day, on the edges,

it makes a difference.

It does.

Sure, sure.

On the edges.

Yeah.

It doesn't make one bit of difference in the middle.

Right.

Yeah.

And like, our lives are going to be about the same regardless.

100%.

So, like,

it's funny in Ecuador, they don't, they have 25 parties or something like that, and they all know they're all crooked.

So, like, oh, my guy's less crooked.

They're pretty open about it.

My guy, I think, is the least crooked.

He may be crooked, but he's my guy.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I've never been there.

He's crooked for us.

You're in Argentina?

I've never been there.

No, I'm going to, I want to go.

Yeah.

But, or Gobekli Tepe.

Oh, that's where I want to go.

Gobekli Tepe.

Where the fuck is that?

So Gobekli Tepe.

Dude, honestly,

I was like, has he traveled when they suggested this is fucking tense, bro?

I love this.

So Gobekli Tepe, I've not been, is the currently the oldest known

pre-megalithic site in in the world, and they do not know how old it is.

They do not know, no.

And it predates any civilization on record.

And it's newly discovered.

And again, they don't have these guys too.

Is that Gobekli Tepe?

It says Eastern Turkey.

That's Eastern Turkey, but that's not Gobekli Tepe.

That is Gobekli Tepe.

Wow.

An immense mystery older than Stonehenge.

Way older than Stonehenge.

Stonehenge isn't that old.

I mean,

yeah, this is.

Wow.

That would be very cool.

Right?

Yeah.

There's also something to like in animal.

The Great Wall China.

Here's the thing.

I don't have any real design.

My son has been to China.

Uh-huh.

And

I don't have any real overarching thing to

other than the fact that it's such a thing.

So foreign.

Unbelievable.

Besides those, like, I never saw them, but those the statues of the warriors, you know, and the Great Wall, it's like, what are we really seeing here?

And the Emperor's Palace.

Other than that, it's just like living in China is interesting and different.

Yeah, my son came back from there, and he studied Mandarin in high school.

Both my boys did.

What?

Smart.

And he came back, and this is my son who went on to be a military history major in Duke.

So he, this is his.

Fuck him.

Fuck.

You a tar heel over there?

Well, I went to Maryland.

Oh, yeah, sure.

And yeah, I would grow up in North Carolina, too.

I just want to make sure that's clear.

Fuck Duke.

Yeah, exactly.

You'll appreciate the 30 for 30 that I made called I Hate Christian Leitner.

Oh.

Were you in that one?

I produced it.

Okay.

So you have to check that out.

Oh, yeah.

Dude, I was ready to love when I was a Hornets fan back in there in Charlotte, and I was ready to like, if they draft him instead of mourning, I was like, I got to do something about it.

I got to go down there and take him out.

It's amazing.

Like, I can't have those great times.

But he was, so when he went to China, he came away saying

they're not, the notion that they're ready to step in to compete with us is

BS.

Yeah.

When you go there and like none of the air heating works, none of the.

It's poor.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's like you have no idea.

We see, you know,

the amazing buildings in Shanghai, but you get off that beaten path even for a second and you just can't believe it.

Bro, three blocks over in Shanghai, Shanghai, away from like that.

It's like, oh, it's back to like rural.

You know?

Yeah.

It's, it's, people are sweeping with like palm leaf brooms.

They're just like, you have a job.

Everyone's got a job.

It's

the world, I mean, and that's the other thing I think about.

And this is one of the things I love about your podcast is,

and look, I love America and I love Americans.

And I'm not ever the guy ever

who like shits on that.

I'm super patriotic.

Even when, you know, people think whatever they think, God bless them, but I love my country and I love Americans.

And I believe in American exceptionalism.

That said,

the lack of travel in our country is appalling and inexcusable.

But I get it, though.

It's like it's easy to say Europeans are

more well-traveled.

They could get in a car and drive to three different countries in one day if they want to.

We do have what should be four different countries here.

Yes, we do.

You go from LA to fucking even Joshua Tree.

Like,

that's another country, should be.

How about this?

I had never gotten to Yosemite.

I just went for the first time.

If I flew across the globe and got off a plane and saw Yosemite, I'd be like, I'm so glad I flew across the globe.

I drove for

three hours.

Yeah.

It's world-class, Yosemite.

World-class jaw-dropping.

And it's just like one of 100 things we have in this country.

So I get why we don't try to.

I get it, but also.

Get out of here.

Get out of here.

So what do you, do you ever get this when you come back home after 10 days or longer gone and like start making new realizations about your own country?

Yeah.

Yeah.

All the time.

And it's mostly around

how

we

just don't have any awareness of what is going on writ large in the world.

We just do not.

And you see it even in places like I was shooting a movie in Australia and

the weather report.

Like, we don't get the weather in the United States of what's going on in Bangkok

or anywhere else.

It's not, I mean, you might see it on a scroll if you're watching CNN International, but you go anywhere else in the world and they're showing you stuff that's going on all over the world.

Right, right, right.

Yeah.

They know more about us.

We know nothing about them.

Nothing.

It's not comparable.

I was, when I got back from Southeast Asia, my first, my first realization was like, oh, our toilet paper is the best.

There's a lot of that, right?

Particularly coming from Southeast Asia.

How are the shitters in Egypt and Jordan and places like that?

They're not as shocking as China.

Okay.

Yeah, no.

Nothing particular.

But the Aegis was pretty.

Aegis was, I think I took a picture of one of them.

Yeah.

That's something they don't tell you in the travel books.

Yeah, they don't tell you any of that stuff.

Yeah.

All right, we're going to start wrapping this up.

I can fucking talk about this for five hours with you.

Me too.

A couple of things I asked people.

I already asked you where else you want to go, but do you have any like general travel tips?

Like I've had packing light, I had a big and good toiletries bag, anything, like just a general tip that you would tell people.

That's a really good one.

Boy, that's such a good travel tip.

While you're thinking about that,

is there anything you notice about these places in the Middle East that is not like in the books, but you made a like in Ecuador, for one, the ice cream was way softer than any other place I've been.

I love that.

I love that kind of

tip.

Any of those?

I think

the Middle East for me was just that you,

the quality of the food consistently across the whole region

was amazing.

And the intensity with which people come at you,

whether it's the girls who are like super down

or the men who are just

so full of life and like it's

the zest for life intensity

is

off the charts.

But in terms of packing,

or not even necessarily packing, but just like a travel tip.

I prepare for all weather contingencies.

That's not bad.

So, you know, today they have those puffies.

They're light, and you can ball them up into the size of your fist.

So lightweight puffy almost no matter.

Because

I had an early summer in France that caught me by, so I was freezing once.

So since then.

Puffies and their pillows.

Yes, puffy shows.

Mostly my stuff is travel plane-related, which is noise-canceling earphones

and sleep masks.

I don't go anywhere without, I don't, I literally don't go anywhere without those.

Really?

No.

My buddy was on a show called The League.

He said this is a horrible league.

Oh, it's great.

Steve Renazisi was Kevin.

And he goes, this is how he travels on a plane.

He's like, puts on everything.

And people are like, are you from the league of that?

What?

Gack.

Uh-huh.

Now, let me ask you a quick question.

I know we got to go, but but I want to think this thing of raw dogging a flight.

Explain what do you mean by that?

Raw dogging a flight.

Oh, do you not?

You're not down with this new thing.

No, what is raw dogging?

I know what raw dogging is.

It's a stupid thing.

What is raw dogging?

No, there's a whole thing now about I'm going to raw dog this flight.

Like, it's a thing guys do, it's a thing on the internet.

It's a new trend.

And so, raw dogging a flight

is bring nothing, do nothing.

So,

so I don't, you can't read, you can't listen to to music.

It's debatable whether you can, I don't think you can sleep.

What?

And it's like a badge of honor.

It's like, I'm a man.

To what end?

Are you supposed to talk to your neighbor?

Oh, you, I'm sure you, well, that's it.

You'd have to.

I think you can talk to your neighbor, but the notion is you don't need no screens, no emails, no, nothing.

You look at the

real thing is you look only at the flight tracker.

And it's a thing.

Google it.

I do do my best writing on like an edible.

If it's it's daytime and I can look out the window and see cities pass by, and then I just like zone out and then like think of ideas, quickly write it.

But then that's your writing.

Ah, fuck.

Raw dog.

Check it out.

First notion is fuck off.

Yeah, right, right.

I got you.

Buddy, it was a great meeting.

You got to come back and tell me about another place.

Yeah.

Yeah.

These are evergreen, too.

So, like.

They're all evergreen.

Yeah.

It's like a different 20 years ago.

I'm going to be doing more traveling and we've got to do more talking.

You got to convince more of of your friends to do it, too.

Oh, I will, for sure.

Yeah.

My travel friends.

But again,

I meant to travel.

There are people.

Oh, I'm doing the Orient Express this fall.

I've never done it.

Wow.

Wow.

I know.

It's going to be sick.

You got your own cabin and stuff and just like.

Again, when people with means invite me,

the answer is yes.

This is a

world-renowned rock star who's renting out the Orient Express for their birthday.

pity.

I got some bad news for you.

Yeah.

It's not, trip's not happening.

No, no.

But if it's anybody else, that's fucking awesome.

I'm going to do drops for your plugs earlier.

But everybody, watch Unstable.

It's new.

It's a fucking rare feat, the LeBron slash Bronnie of acting.

That's right.

Yeah.

Johnny Lowe.

Yeah.

Congratulations.

He's given nepotism a good name.

Do you ever go over to him?

Like, hey, you're doing this wrong.

Yes.

Let me tell you how to, like, as a fucking veteran, let me tell you how to do that.

Yeah, I'm usually like, engage your core.

Whoa.

Engage the core.

What do you want?

You only have a fupa on national television.

Let's go.

And I will say this again.

You wearing that Houston Asterisks hat on, Rogan was so,

as every Yankee fan, that might be, I might be judging by Yankee fans.

Fuck the Astros forever, more than Duke.

That was fucking great what you did.

We literally went out of my own pocket, had those things made up.

I'd never seen one before.

The Houston asterisks.

It was so great.

I had never seen one before.

And then I was like, wait, he's wearing a fucking asterisk.

Oh, wait a minute.

I love that you knew that that's what that, because it's so subtly different.

It almost looks exactly like the

astro star, but it's an asterisk.

Yeah.

Let me see if I have a there is right there.

Yes, V.

Oh, look at it.

Yeah.

Good for you, bro.

Good for fucking you.

Fuck them.

Fuck these fucking cheaters.

And he still doesn't admit he did anything wrong.

He's like, they found nothing.

They found so much.

Well, here's the thing is, they were all doing it.

They were all.

Oh, yeah.

You know what?

And I hate to say it.

Yeah.

I don't want to say it because it'll make news, but some of the very big teams

were doing as much or more.

But I think the Astros were doing the most.

Yeah.

And they certainly got caught.

And I'm sorry, El Tuvi was wearing a wire.

Nobody can tell me how to do it.

He's a fucking wire.

Don't touch my jersey.

Don't touch my jersey.

Dude, he's wearing a wire.

Yeah.

There's no way he wasn't wearing a buzz.

That's not baseball.

I don't even like them

when it's a breaking ball, buzz me.

That's all.

Just buzz me if it's a breaking ball.

Seeing this.

By the way, I could hit 300.

Just buzz me when it's a breaking ball.

I could hit 300.

Yeah.

I love this.

I love this.

All right, Rob.

Thanks a lot.

So fun.

Appreciate it.

So fun.

Well, you guys, that's it.

That is the episode.

I hope you enjoyed it.

Please subscribe right now if you enjoyed it.

And check out Unstable on Netflix, Rob Lowe's show.

I was happy that I was not weird around him.

I'm out of Hollywood for long enough now that I'm just like, oh, hey, what's up, man?

I know too many D-bag actors and high-level actors to fucking get weird about around one.

Like, oh, you know, but

he wasn't one.

He was fucking down-to-earth and very cool.

They told me I was like trying to reassure his handler.

I was like, hey, if there's anything he doesn't like in the podcast, I'm not trying to play catch him.

I'm not that kind of guy.

I'll just take it out, like, you know, just to make him feel like he shouldn't have to worry about what he has to say.

And they go, well, he just did Tiger Belly, and he didn't have any problems with that one.

I was like, Oh, then you're gonna have no problem, no problem on you be tripping.

I wonder if he did Tiger Belly the way I do Tiger Belly, which is taking a frozen chocolate bar and shoving up Bobby Lee's butt.

Shoving is the wrong word, shoving is the wrong word, inserting is the right word.

Shoving makes it seem like he was violent.

This wasn't violent, this was loving.

Bobby Lee, the slept king.

I gave him a choice: you want twix, or you want uh uh

Almond Joy?

Obviously, Twix.

Yeah.

It's more fucking

boofable.

It did remind me, though, of my trip to Egypt for sure, which I'll do a full episode on myself when I get someone to interview me.

I like some of these.

I like the idea of me doing mine.

I got one more coming.

Toby interviewed me about Thailand.

and then I got one coming about Guatemala with with a friend that I met at a hostel in Guatemala

about a trip that we took together so that that would be cool but I'm gonna have more people interview me and Egypt is definitely on there and it really is magic man I did so much acid not so much acid I did one hit acid and walked around all those pyramids and it was the right move it was the right move I lugged that acid around fucking eight or nine different countries

And then I got to Egypt.

I'm like, oh yeah, this is the spot.

This is it.

And just wander.

Oh,

I got to tell you all about it.

But it's another episode.

And then Petra was, you don't understand.

You come down these long tunnels.

It's like a valley of a mountain, you know, like cliffs on both sides.

It gets narrower, narrower, narrower.

And then it just opens up and it's this giant, I mean, like three-story building carved into a mountain.

It looked Photoshop.

It was fucking nuts.

My Patreon, patreon.com slash JubyTrippin is kicking off very nicely.

You're sending them out, and I'm reading them on the air, and I'm filling up.

This is the Patreon wall, the back wall covered with fucking

postcards from around the globe.

I will not put up American ones.

This one's American, so I'm going to read it on here, but I will not go up on the wall because it's not from anywhere special.

It's a Republic from Texas, but that's it.

See it?

What are the odds?

What are the odds I hit record?

Pretty high.

Nice.

I can't believe I was at the Comedy Mecca.

I went to the Comedy Mothership and the Sunset Strip.

I hope I can come back one day to see Kill Tony.

I come to DFW every six months

in training for training.

Sadly, my schedule is too short.

I'm about to check out Ubi Trippin' with Louis Katz.

It's a good episode.

Not much to tell you about Austin since you're there all the time.

Go check out the bats.

The bats are fucking cool to see them all come out under the bridge.

You like football?

Go see a game.

Love Javier.

Well, Javier, this was in the podcast studio and it wasn't in America.

I put it up there.

But since it's not in the podcast studio, which is over there, and it's not from America,

fuck off.

But yeah, the Patreon, I'm going to read up these postcards and just riff and stuff like that

and do whatever.

So, that's it.
