Paris, France w/ Mark Normand | You Be Trippin' with Ari Shaffir

Chronic spontaneous urticaria, or chronic hives with no known cause.

It's so unpredictable.

It's like playing pinball.

Itchy red bumps start on my arm, then my back,

sometimes my legs.

Hives come out of nowhere

and it comes and goes.

But I just found out about a treatment option at treatmyhives.com.

Take that, chronic hives.

Hello, everybody.

Welcome to You Be Trippin', the only travel podcast in the world that's also on the internet.

I'm Ari Shafir, your host.

I love traveling.

I love hearing about other people's travel.

And today,

we have a world traveler himself, a great comic, one of the best in the city, and thereby in the world.

His own special out to lunch is on YouTube right now with over 600 million hits.

His podcast, we might be drunk.

You're looking at Jews that died.

6 million.

It's the number one drunk podcast on the internet.

And Tuesdays of Stories is now turning into a book made by Simon Schuster.

Please help me welcome Mark Norman.

Mark.

Hey, hey, you're going to get in trouble for you-be tripping.

Why?

Well, it's a little little appropriating Asians or

whoever speaks that way.

Ebonics.

Yeah, maybe.

Mark, where are we going today?

I guess we're going to Gay Paris.

Going to Gay Paris.

I'm soaked, by the way.

I should tell the crowd.

I'm really turned on.

No, I got caught in the rain.

So I rode a bike here in the rain.

That's crazy.

Oh, you rode the city bike?

City bike, which I love, and it wasn't raining.

And then I got on the bike and it just, oh, it's the worst.

And you can't stop because you're on the city bike.

Time is of the essence.

Time is of the essence.

I wanted to get here on time.

You're like, if I left two minutes earlier.

i know brutal so my whole body soaked um why'd you go to paris i mean i as if you even have to ask but like why did you go to paris well see this is the thing about me i started you know i'm a grew up pretty broke there was no food in the house i was a poor comedian for years i moved furniture i was a janitor i was gay and then i met this lady the gal i'm currently engaged to and she said why don't you why don't you go on trips you got a little money now like and i'm like i can't go on trips.

You know, I got to work.

Isn't it crazy?

It seems foreign, especially when you're, I have to go on stage every night.

Yeah.

To then go take one night off.

You're like, no way.

But from take one night off, no way, to go to a foreign place for fun.

Blew my mind.

I couldn't wrap my head around it.

I was like, well, should I set up a show?

She's like, no, don't do a show.

Go.

Fuck.

It's so hard.

Yeah.

She's like, have you been to Paris?

I was like, no.

And I speak a little French.

And she's like, I've never been.

Let's do it.

Normal people go to Paris.

Normal people go to Paris.

Fucking fat Arkansasians go to Paris.

Yes.

Yes.

So after a year of convincing me, I said, fuck it.

We bought the tickets and we went and it was amazing.

Wow.

What were you looking forward to?

Like,

all I wanted to do was sit at cafes and write and smoke hand-rolled cigarettes and drink coffee.

It's so.

What were you into?

It's so pretty there because it's so old.

You know, everything here is built in 1981.

It's a 7-Eleven.

It's a Pinkberry.

And there, it's just so pretty and old.

Like, you know, there's, I think, four or five cities based after Paris Paris in America because we didn't know what the fuck we were doing.

Really?

We were like, Paris looks good.

Just Philly is Paris.

There's a couple other ones.

Philly is like mounted after Paris.

Yeah.

It's so pretty.

Everywhere you turn, you're just like, that's crazy.

The way the balconies kind of.

Oh, I love it.

I love it.

The curvy streets with the buildings curving and the cobblestone and the sidewalks and the cafes and the restaurants and the awnings.

I love.

And it's just

a lot of times.

And the river there, that river that goes through with the bridge.

The Seine.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And so, you know, Arc de Triomphe in Washington Square Park is based off the Charles de Lisée.

Well, let's talk about this just for a second.

So I got home from Paris, too.

I'll do my own episode about Paris later.

It'll be a different experience than yours.

Okay.

But you're seeing all these beautiful.

That arc from Washington Square Park

is...

It's like all over there.

They have lots of arcs.

They have the 10th Ardison and all over.

This arc they gave us is a fucking bullshit arc.

Really?

It's in little nothing, 12, tiny little arc.

Ark Norman.

Well,

it's dedicated to George Washington.

If you go up and read it, it's all about Washington.

Oh, interesting.

I guess that was a gift.

But see, we just copied everything because they knew what they were doing.

Right.

So.

What did you get into when you were there?

Like, so you land, you're with your chick.

It is a romantic city, right?

That's beautiful.

It's unbelievable.

And we got an Airbnb, and it was cheap there.

We got it right in the heart of downtown.

Like, look out the window, and I have photos.

Yeah.

We would bang.

We'd bang in this Airbnb, and then she'd be naked walking around.

We'd drink a little espresso and eat chocolate.

And she looked out the window with her tits out, and I said, Why don't you scare some of the Parisians?

And she's

got a good body, too.

Great, great cans.

And I snapped a photo, and it's framed in my house now.

Oh, it's great.

I think I've seen it.

Yeah, maybe.

I think I've seen it because I was like, Was that on Instagram?

Like, no, I've seen it.

I put it on Instagram.

Yeah, you guys, like, in shadow behind the whatever.

Yeah, yeah.

Just, just, just a

half a boob foreskin on the side there.

All right.

So, but it's great.

And we did every tourist thing.

What'd you like?

What?

What'd you do?

We did the Louvre, the Catacombs, the Eiffel Tower,

Versailles.

You went up the gardens of Versailles?

Yeah.

That's far away, right?

It's an hour and a half away.

That was a good train ride.

Okay.

Yeah, I didn't go to that.

What was that like?

It was beautiful, but I mean, I hate to say it, but you get to a garden, it's a garden.

You know, you're like, ah, they have the big bushes that are shaved into a pube or whatever, and then all that.

So it's pretty.

And we did, this is how trashy I am.

Yeah.

You know, you start talking about going to Paris on a pod, and I had a couple of Tuesdays give me drugs, and they're like, here's some Molly.

Wait, in Paris?

No, no, before.

So I brought Molly to Paris.

Taking a chance.

And shrooms.

Taking a double chance.

Big chance.

White paid.

Paid off.

Paid off.

Got through.

And we took Molly at the Louvre.

No.

Wait, while you walked in?

Before, then went.

Whoa.

But it was a blue rock.

So I think we took meth.

But we still took it.

Molly sometimes comes not powdery, but like in the little rocks.

Oh, okay.

Real little ones.

A big rock.

And we just chiseled a little off and popped it.

It tasted like pure hell.

That sounds like Molly, though.

Oh, it did?

Okay.

It's worse than any imaginable taste.

It's not just sour.

It's like, what the fuck?

It was so bad.

And I just ended up shitting my pants the whole time.

And I remember being cracked out and like kind of sped up.

And it was a horrible, horrible, horrible time at the Louvre.

Did you chick take some?

She took some.

She hated it.

We were at the Mona Lisa just like,

scratching and tweaking.

And we looked like idiots, and then we got out of there.

The Louvre is the most famous museum in the world.

Yeah.

It was pretty great.

And that Mona Lisa was there and it was fun.

It's cool to see it.

It is.

Right?

It's little.

It's like that big.

Yeah, I've heard that.

Yeah, and there was a lot of people around.

Fat tourists.

Fat tourists, fat Americans with fanny packs and Mickey Mouse shirts.

It was embarrassing.

Do you worry at all about being a tourist in places like that?

I do, yeah.

Yeah.

I don't want to be that guy, but.

What do you do?

I don't know.

I just keep my mouth shut, but I get pretty drunk on these trips.

So I'm sure I'm like, hey, which way is Broadway?

You know?

And they're like, Jesus Christ.

Dude,

what did you drink when you were there?

It's wine, right?

I'm not a huge wine guy, but my friend is a foodie, and he's like, You gotta go to this place.

And we went, and it was one of those, it was so nice with the foam.

They do the foam on the food.

You ever see the chef do foam?

That's like when you really hit the big time.

FOMO.

You never did the foam?

No.

Oh, give that a goog.

All these guys on, you know, Food Network are foamed out.

Foam?

What kind of foam?

Like they do a foam, and it's this weird flavored foam on top of a piece of duck or something.

Oh, interesting.

Yeah.

It's pretty popular in the foodie world, but it's stupid.

And you just want a good meal, but it was too nice.

Sometimes like it's farm to table.

I'm like, I really don't care where you got it.

Yeah, I just want to eat.

There's no lemons in this region.

I'm like, well, then import one.

Yeah, yeah, please.

Yeah.

And it was way too expensive.

And the dollar.

And here's the problem with Paris and most of Europe.

The check takes forever.

They cook the check.

I'm like, where's the check?

They're like, it's coming, sir.

It's coming.

Impatient American.

Oh, I'm like, I got to get out of here.

I'm going to see the city.

I'm done.

I'm done.

What am I going to sit here?

Yeah, that's what Liz said.

He was, it's like exceptionally long and then think even longer.

Yes.

They draw it out because it's like part of the process.

It's the art of the cuisine and the restaurant.

I'm like, I want to eat and go.

But

I'm a douche.

Somebody told me, Rolf Bots told me, it's like, it's us taking our wherever we're from mentality into another place and trying to apply it.

It'll just never be applied.

Yeah, pretty much.

It's like going to a pizza place here.

Oh, shit.

Shut up.

Shut up.

Sorry.

That's Macron.

He's the print for it.

Oh, this is the fucking...

Oh, Joe Rogan says, no side effects from...

What's it called?

From

the COVID drugs.

Hello?

Hi.

Hey, Mr.

Shaiv.

No, listen, guys, I'm never going to buy drugs from you.

So usually you hang out right away.

I don't want to buy any drugs.

Why?

What happened?

Nothing happened.

I got ivermectin once because I thought that was a cure for COVID.

I'm not interested in buying drugs over the phone.

What What do you got for monkeypox?

You got any monkeypox drugs?

Okay, man.

Take me off the list.

It's every day, three times a day.

Schindler's list.

Please help me, human to human.

All right, that was great.

Wow, you talked to a telemarketer like a human being.

I've never seen that.

Except one time the guy was like, I was like, can I talk?

Right away he called it.

It's 310, whatever.

And then any four numbers.

I block it.

But there's a thing of a thousand choices.

Yeah.

No, 10,000.

Fuck.

I'm never going to block them all.

And I was like,

manager, please.

He goes, I was like, hey, man, please, I'm never going to buy stuff.

Do you take me off?

He goes, buy 200 pills.

I'll take you off.

I'm like, pills of what?

He goes, anything.

Oh,

no way.

No way.

You're not going to take me off.

There you go.

Yeah, it's the culture of like, well, it's like if you go to a small town from here and you're used to New York, like, move.

And they're like, why?

They don't even get it.

Exactly.

New Orleans is like that.

Hey, how you doing?

How's your mom and them?

And you're like, just give me the coffee.

Yeah.

Come on.

No hello first?

No, no hello.

We We don't know each other.

Did you go to any of the stuff?

I did.

I did the bakeries.

I did the cafe.

I got a baguette.

Oh, that's fun, right?

I saw a few baguettes.

And then,

yeah, I just rode bikes and really did it up.

We went to Moulin Rouge.

Did you really?

Yeah.

I walked by it.

What was it like?

It was in there.

It was beautiful.

It's smaller than I thought it would be, and it's so ornate and pretty.

It's like a Wes Anderson movie in there.

Are you supposed to dress up for that or no?

Nah, it was a bunch of fat, more fat tourists.

We saw a sex show.

Yeah, we did it all.

What?

Yeah, we just went in and a bunch of guys were plowing some lady, and she was like, ah, and it would rotate.

And then when she got away from the audience, she was like,

no.

And then when you get back in front, she was like, ah, it was like every experience I've ever had.

Wow.

Yeah.

What?

They have sex shows in Paris?

Oh, yeah.

I didn't know that.

That whole nightlife area gets to be there.

Down there where Moulin Rouge is.

Yeah, exactly.

Damn, I walked by it by accident once.

I was like, oh, this is that.

Yeah, yeah, it's tiny.

That's one of those things that it's like, if you and I were there, it would not be on our list.

Yes, you're right.

But

one in Paris.

But I'll tell you, it just felt better there.

It feels easier.

Like, we're so up our own ass.

And hey, what pronoun are you?

And, you know, kill yourself.

And you're a racist.

It just felt easy.

Like, I remember seeing, I'd see like a 16-year-old couple

walking with a bottle of wine, and he would put his jacket on her, and they would go to some party, and then we went to bars every night, and they were full of young people drinking, and they all were very nice to us and said hello.

And we just connected with all these people.

Then there was one night we got shit-faced, and there's this big

row of stairs looking out over the city.

It's like a famous spot.

I got a photo of it.

And we just sat there and got drunk with like 400 other couples.

Wait, outside?

Outside.

It was a beautiful night.

Is it about like a church?

Yes.

I think I know what that one is.

It's a huge cascade of stairs, and the city is right there, and it's like a popular hangout.

Yes!

Montmart.

Montmart.

Montmart.

Yeah.

Just went.

That's the only reason I know it's because I was just there.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, but they have all the locks

on the fence.

Yeah.

Locked for your love.

Right, right.

It was beautiful.

And I was popular.

And you just sit outside and drinking whatever they got.

Drink.

That was it.

Everybody had bottles of wine and beer.

The public drinking is so nice.

So nice.

Jesus.

Don't give a fuck.

And they don't abuse it.

We're out here like, ah, they're just chilling and having a good time.

Yeah.

we were all dancing into the class for when I was writing class out there.

Yeah.

And we're all there where this like tango areas are by the river, a little further down.

And then cops would come by, and it was like hiding their bread.

And they would come by, like, hey, guys, if they're empty, can you throw them right out?

Especially for bottles.

That's great.

Yeah.

Yes.

Okay.

And then you're like, we can take these out?

Like,

it's just the idea is like, who gives a shit?

Good atmosphere, good vibes.

Bonjour.

Wait.

Adieu.

See, this is why you're a special heb.

Why?

It's because you said, I'm going to go take a writing class in Paris, and you do it.

Or I'm going to go live in far off China without a phone and sleep on the ground.

And you do it.

Yeah.

Who does that?

You're like a guy on a Tinder bio that would fuck your girlfriend.

You know, like, I love to read in China and I take writing.

Special, I don't know.

He had elephant pants.

Yeah.

He did something to me.

Exactly.

So that's you.

But you're doing it more now.

I'm trying.

I'm trying.

I imagine you went on a trip.

You're actually going.

You went there with a purpose with like writing classes.

It got me there.

I would never have gone otherwise.

Oh, really?

No part of me was drawn to France and Paris in any way.

Like, there's certain cities, I usually ask people this too.

There's certain cities that like, or not cities, but countries that'll like call to you.

Yes.

And there's no reason or rhyme to it.

Yes.

It's just this happened.

I'm never interested in Russia.

But if I get an all-expensive paid trip to Russia, of course, I'm going.

I'm not like, fuck that place.

Sure.

But like.

Fuck Ukraine.

Fuck Ukraine.

Absolutely.

Never stop there.

A lot of us in Ukraine.

You know, it's not as publicized.

And Nazis.

Yeah, Nazis.

But certain countries.

So do you have any like that that are like on your mind?

I don't know what it is, but Amsterdam, I just love that.

The way the city looks and feels, it just speaks to me.

You've been there.

I've been there about five times and I just, I don't know.

I'm in love with Amsterdam.

And I know it's hack.

It's not hack.

It's a cool place.

It's so pretty.

And

the people there are cool and good looking and smart.

And they're on bicycles and they smoke weed and they drink beer at lunch and the canals and the, ah, it's just, you can't beat it.

There's another episode.

Oh, we'll do that one next.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So I'm going to have people in for multiple places.

Same guest,

multiple episodes.

Oh, cool.

All right.

Especially if you've been places, right?

You can repeat easily.

I love cities.

Even American cities, I think, have a vibe and a personality.

Oh, interesting.

Yeah, I mean, that's why a lot of songwriters, there's that great Sufion Stevens song about Chicago, like Atlanta is a TV show.

New Orleans has a million TV shows.

You want to capture that.

You know what they say about New Orleans?

You've ever read Gods of America?

You don't read much, do you?

I barely do.

It's one of the few books I read.

Don't make it sound okay.

Gods of America is talking about all these...

these people that came from wherever to America and they brought their gods with them because they worshiped, you know, whatever.

Sure.

And then they kind of stopped worshiping their gods.

So their gods are like these actual things that are just like, no one's worshiping me.

And so then they lost their power.

And then new gods, gods of the internet, gods of money, gods of sex, they've all come in and beaten up the old gods.

But they said, like, they were this new recruit, you know, they're showing them everything.

It's like, we got to go to New Orleans.

He goes, oh, we'll need a passport for that.

He's like, why?

He's like, it's not America.

No.

He's like, what do you mean?

It's like it's in the border, but that's, it's a different place.

It's true.

It's a wild, wild west of the south.

Yeah.

What were the good foods there?

What did you really like when you were eating it?

I don't think the food spoke to me.

I'm from New Orleans, which is very foody.

And we live in New York, which is foodie.

In Paris, didn't speak to you.

It's okay.

These are all a great experience.

Wow.

I mean, I had good food, and I had good croissants and all that shit.

Sal said the same thing, because I was unimpressed with the food there.

Yeah, it didn't blow my mind.

And I'm not saying it's bad food.

I would just I would rather the city and the experiences than the food there.

Wow.

It's a lot of bread and cheese, which I don't love.

I got a loaf and a fucking thing of cheese and just went to one of the gardens out there and just like sliced it and wrote my journal and just sliced cheese and baguette and just like until I got nauseous.

Didn't you say you had a sandwich once that was like...

That was in Italy.

That was in Italy.

Another trip, my lady was like, we can just go to Italy.

And I was like, fuck it.

We went to a Malfi Coast and

that's when you got the crate sandwich.

Yeah, yeah.

It was a bodega and she just was like, can I get a tuna sandwich?

And this guy took a half an hour to make it and it was the best tuna sandwich.

Well, that's what I loved about Paris.

They did take time.

Like you order and you're like, where is this already?

Like, they're making it from scratch.

There's no like Escargot buffet where they're just waiting.

Do you have Escargot?

I did.

I've had it before, but it's pretty good.

I wouldn't order it every day, but

there's

Gomez said he went to Italy and he ate cheese, bread, and wine every day and he lost weight.

That's the thing about the food there.

It's pre-processed horseshit.

It's like their FDA is better or something.

It's like their gluten is not the same gluten we have.

I definitely, I'm not saying or I don't know the deal, but it's like, yeah, you're eating cheese and bread all day and you're like, how am I losing weight?

Yes.

How am I feeling healthier?

It's very strange, but magical place.

What was it like coming from, this is what I had, coming from Paris, just a gorgeous city, to this city?

It's it's well in New York, you know, it's good to leave and it's good to come back, but it's uh it's different.

I mean, we just have so much more shit.

We got the, you know, you ever seen that Sopranos episode where Furio lands back from Italy and he's driving from the Newark airport to his house and he's just like McDonald's, Exxon, Burger King,

Whole Food.

It's just a bummer.

It's just capitalists and corporations.

And yeah, that part sucks.

That's why I live in the village.

Because it's less of that.

It's less of that.

Also, there's like writing on everything.

I mean, there's graffiti everywhere.

It was so clean in Paris.

It's so clean.

And everything.

And here you have some, like, gargoyle-like buildings, you know, that are like, oh, that's kind of a classic.

Yeah.

But then most of them are just like the new glass built.

It's just like, this is gross.

Yeah.

This is industrial.

Yes.

I've never noticed how gross it was.

And rats everywhere.

I know.

I had to fight with a guy in Paris.

Not a fight.

It's discussion.

Getting some wine.

He was like, let me help you find some wine.

They're so good at it.

They care.

And

where are you from?

I told him.

And then he's like, yeah, it's a lot like here, weather-wise.

They just got over a hundred-degree heat wave.

I'm like, yeah, we have that.

He goes, it's about the same weather.

I'm like, yeah, I think so.

He goes, a lot of similarities.

I'm like, yeah, he goes, we got better rats.

He goes, we have rats.

I'm like, not like our rats.

Yeah, yeah.

Their rats have little mustaches and berets on.

Our rats are

eating like a dead dog on the highway.

What were the highlights for you out there?

Like, what were you like?

I love that.

I would go back to that.

I think the nightlife for me, just, well, first of all, I know I keep harping on the vibe, but it was just so pleasant.

Yeah, explain that.

Explain the vibe.

Because I say the same thing.

It was was just a chill vibe.

Chill vibe.

They soak up life over there in Europe.

You know, it's Italy too, and even England.

You know, you wake up, you have your coffee, and then you have your bread, and then you walk around.

It feels like we're all hustle and bustle.

Got to work, got to check my followers and make money and

fuck life right in the ass and all this business, business, business.

Out there, it's like, I run a souvenir shop.

I come in when I want.

I leave when I want.

There's a bell on the door.

I go get a big lunch and then I read at night to candlelight.

It does feel like that.

It really does feel like that.

Yeah.

It's just like there's no, I just like sitting there.

They're not rushing you out.

Yeah.

I know it's like getting my checker ready, but the idea that comes from like, yo, I mean, you're sitting here.

I don't know.

Yeah.

You're done.

What's the rush?

Every hour you're like, take another coffee.

Like, yeah, all right.

Yeah, yeah.

It's just laid back, and it's a major city.

It's one of the oldest cities.

And yet it just feels, they got it all figured out.

You know, when you go, I was just in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.

Yeah.

And you know, when you go to a town where you're like...

Paris of New Hampshire.

Yeah.

You know, when you go to a town, you're like, there's the exact right amount of people in this town for the infrastructure.

Uh-huh.

In New York, it's like there's 8 million more people than should be here because the apartments are all stacked up.

The sidewalks are full.

The subway's full.

The traffic is bad.

But in Paris, it just felt like there was enough, there's the right amount of people in the city for what the city can hold.

When did you welcome?

So every restaurant is full.

Once you've been, you don't have to wait that time.

You remember when you went?

What time of year?

Probably 2000.

Oh, I think it was the fall.

Okay, it wasn't August.

No.

August, it clears out.

Oh, really?

This is regular time.

August, they all take their vacation.

And the same thing we say about the vibe.

So I was there last 10 days of July,

first four days of August.

Yeah.

They were like, August is vacation time.

And really, on August 1st, you see people, like, there's a sign-up closed till September.

Oh, really?

Yeah, but that vibe of like, well, don't, why don't you have your employees work?

Like, what, guys?

It's so much fun.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Enjoy your life a little.

Yeah, I feel like we get a call, like, hey,

the lights are being shut off.

You know, they don't seem to have that worry.

Yeah, exactly.

Like, they own their places or something, and they're just like, I don't know.

Yeah.

Work to live.

Live to work.

I know.

And then you come back to New York and the plane lands and you feel it instantly.

You know, like, oh, it's all over so fast.

You got a guy going, Uber, you need Uber?

You need Uber?

You're like, I don't trust you.

Yeah, you need Uber to hear it.

Call me and I'll come.

It's like, what?

Yeah, yeah.

There's a dead guy.

Just go to Uber, dude.

There's a fist fight.

There's a racial incident at the Hudson News, you know.

Yeah.

The nightlife was really good.

The bars were just cool.

Everyone's out there talking.

What was your take on race relations in Paris?

Didn't even think about it.

Didn't come up.

I told Che when I got home.

I asked him if he's, I saw him and I was like, have you been there?

And he's like, no, why?

I'm like, it's the most equal I've ever seen black people.

Yes.

It seemed like it just,

and maybe it was where I was staying in the 10th, but like, it seemed just like it just didn't, it wasn't even a thought.

Didn't even come up, totally.

You know, I felt the same way.

It's like when you're talking to an Asian person, you don't, you don't see it anymore.

Like, there's certain people you don't see it, like Lewis.

You're like, oh, yeah, I guess Latino.

Right, right.

Or me with Jew.

It's like, you're not thinking like, I'm friends with a Jew.

You don't know.

It doesn't cross your brain until you're ready to make a joke.

Yes.

You know?

But it seemed like that there.

They're like, almost like, well, I could tell you're black, but I'm not even thinking about it until you ask me.

No, because they all sound the same, too.

They have the accent and the language.

The same with a British black guy is like, right, Joe Govna, you're like, whoa.

Oh, I got a question for you.

No, no beat tripping.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Exactly.

Jevo de Trippelle.

Yeah, yeah.

But you know, a black comic walks on stage and American goes, a lot of white people here.

And it's immediately addressed.

They're like, I'm black, you're white.

Yeah.

Weirdness.

I don't feel like they have that.

My friend Kevin Comic told me this.

I could be wrong.

He said, America, because I told him I'm thinking of like leaving.

And he said, America is upset.

He goes, race is the dumbest issue in the world.

It's obvious.

Everyone should be equal, right?

Yeah.

It's the dumbest issue in the world.

And America is obsessed with it.

And that's all you have to know.

It's all slavery.

We feel bad about the slavery.

Yeah.

I know.

I miss those times.

If you went to Bahrain or like UAE or something like that, and then you're there, and it's like, some people say, don't go.

Well, I'm on performing for the government, performing for the people.

But if they were like, hey, while you're here, you got a slave.

I would lean in.

Yeah.

I'd be like, it'd be fun.

I'm not taking it home with me.

No, I'd tip after the sexual slave.

Well, after the sexual favors, I'd tip.

Oh, right, right, right, right.

I think you went above and beyond.

Yeah.

You really, you really took the next step of slavery.

Made me feel you didn't feel like you have to be here.

Right.

It seemed like you wanted to.

And you go white slave just to make.

Oh, yeah, yeah, no, no.

Oh, for sure, white slave.

Don't get me wrong.

You got to go white slave.

Got to go white slave.

Yeah.

Or Filipino.

Oh, that's good for the ladyboy thing.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

What were the girls like in

Paris?

Beautiful.

God damn.

Beautiful.

It's my favorite look because they're all fashionable, too.

They wear the boots and the leather and the hair.

It's all hot, and they're all thinner.

Yeah.

And

they're not as American women can be a little entitled.

You know, like, hey, you owe me this because of a tampon string or whatever.

And you're like, huh, what?

And they're like, I'm grabbed by the pussy.

You fuck Trump.

It's a patriarchy.

And you're like, all right,

don't hurt me.

You didn't do any of that.

But yeah, but

there it felt more, it's like you said, it felt more equal and everybody's just hanging out.

I was so turned on all the time.

It was just like hot chicks.

Just hot women.

And you're right.

They're fashionable.

They're fashionable.

So they seem cool.

Yeah.

They just seem better than all of us.

Yeah.

And they're nice.

And they're nice.

They're not, you know, I feel like you get a hot girl in America, she's like, Oh, I'm hot, I can run the world.

There, they're like, Oh, I'm hot, but they're all hot.

And uh, can I get a latte?

Yeah, yeah, just hot and helpful, and just fine.

Yeah, I wonder, where does that come from?

You think

about being treated okay, treated okay, good upbringing, um,

probably good education.

I'm sure there's there's poor psychos in uh Paris who are all cunts, yeah, gotta be, but damn.

Martha listens to her favorite band all the time.

In the car,

gym,

even sleeping.

So, what did you drink when you were there?

Same shit?

They have everything.

I was all on the beer.

Just full-on like French beers.

What is it, 64?

Yeah, 1664 is good.

That's their PBR, too.

That's their shit.

Oh, really?

They have two.

They have a white and they have a blue.

Yeah.

We would buy like two liters.

Yeah, yeah.

They were squeezable.

Squeezable ones?

Like a plastic.

Oh.

Yeah, and it was just beer.

And you just drank a two-liter of beer.

It was good to go.

Did you drink by the river at all?

Yep, yep.

Drank by the river.

Walked around the river a ton.

I think she thought I was going to propose, which was awkward.

Oh, you're like, no, not this spot.

It's another spot.

Yeah, yeah.

That's funny.

Yeah.

She's talking about a trip to Paris, and then immediately her one friend was like, if any proposes, you're like, exactly.

Yeah, you're right.

That is where you would do it.

It's cliche.

Yep.

I got down on one knee and I was like, I'm gay.

I really threw her 180 on her.

Oh, we went to Notre Dame, too.

Oh, yeah.

What was that?

That was really cool.

It's just super old.

Pre-burned?

Huh?

Post-burned.

I guess post.

Pre-nose pre.

It was together.

Okay.

Pre-break-burned.

Notre Dame burned, right?

It did, yeah.

I think they're fixing it.

They're fixing it when I was there, they were fixing it.

You know about Ashy?

Or your grandparents, too.

And I know about burning down the Notre Dame Church, too.

My people did that.

And 9-11.

Oh, yeah.

But, yeah, super cool.

And that area around there.

It's just still pews.

Oh, really?

Yeah, it's still a working church.

It was candles everywhere.

Is Napoleon buried there?

Yeah, I think he is.

Dynamite.

No, I think Napoleon's buried there.

I didn't get the word association.

I was like, what's dynamite?

Oh, right.

Stupid.

So stupid.

Yeah, the architecture is really cool.

Just going, do you go to museums at all?

Outside of the Louvre, no.

We went to the catacombs, which was basically going to be...

Catacombs is an underground prison.

that they built underground and all the skulls are on the wall.

It's crazy.

I took took a million photos in there it's amazing that still exists what i think it was a cemetery or it was a prison but it just everybody died in there i wonder what the french revolution was if they were like

if it got real bad like well we got to turn this hotel into a fucking murder factory or we got to turn this prison into a fucking graveyard or whatever yeah you know what would have been really interesting to visit paris during the German occupation.

Oh.

Imagine if you're a German guy and you're like, you probably got a five-year run where nobody local can really fuck with you.

Yep.

And you get to enjoy the nice wine and cheese.

Like, shit stays open.

Like, guys, run your business.

But, like, there's just an occupier here.

Yeah.

And if you're one of those occupiers, you cleaned up.

Yeah, you clean up.

Also, some chicks probably were into you.

It's like, ooh, German.

I know I shouldn't do this.

That's true.

Yeah.

That uniform.

Yeah, you could fuck.

Oh, it's the best place to fuck.

Oh, yeah.

That Hugo boss outfit, you know, the big, big boots, the goose step.

Yeah, they must have done very well.

Yeah.

And then they were like, hey, we're pulling out.

You'd be like, oh, no.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You're like, can I say you guys are cool with me, right?

And they're probably like, nah.

I think back then, too, soldiers were like,

you know, they were like put on a pedestal.

And you could go into a guy's house and be like,

I need some bread.

Or I need to take a shit.

And people

had to let you in.

Isn't that one of the things in the Constitution?

They were like, we're sick of that with the British.

Like, you can't go to our houses.

Yeah.

We don't have to shelter you anymore.

It's one of the amendments, I think.

But you can?

That you can.

You can?

You can.

I think you can.

I think it's part of it.

Like if a soldier comes by and he has diarrhea, you got to let him in.

I don't even like them boarding first.

Why?

You're the most physically fit.

You don't have to board first.

Good point.

Good point.

I think you got to give them something for

risking their lives.

Yeah, you get a human ear for every kill.

Oh, there you go.

Make a necklace.

Make a necklace.

Yeah.

That's some.

That's true.

That is something.

And steal artifacts.

I've seen the fucking Marky Mark movies.

Yeah, there you go.

Yeah, the girls are so hot.

Where were the bikes?

What bikes?

Huh?

What were the bikes?

Did you bike around?

Did you buy a bike?

Oh, we did the bike rental at the hotel or at the Airbnb at a bike rental.

Nothing.

They had one.

Yeah, nothing too snacky.

They did have this.

What I'm trying to do is, like, if I'm going to Paris, let's just say somebody's going to Paris.

I've listened to this podcast.

It's kind of like, what should I expect?

So you said, kind of expensive.

I think that's changed now with the dollar being better.

Thank you.

But there's bike rentals everywhere.

Yeah.

Like city bikes.

That's true.

There's the limes.

Did they have those then?

The electric ones?

They weren't there.

Thank God.

Those are horrible to a city.

They lay on the floor.

But they don't let you put them anywhere like they do here.

Oh, they're only in certain spots.

If they're full, they're like, this place is full.

You got to go to another spot.

Got it.

You're going to get fine 25 euros if you leave it just anywhere.

They're like, we know you're the last one to take it.

You see, they handle their shit there.

Even if you're right next to it, like if it's like the line ends here, just right where you are, and I put it right next to you.

Yeah.

They'll go, hey, that's 25 euros.

You're not in the spot.

Wow.

All right.

Good for them.

See, they thought everything.

And And they have, you've got the city bikes here, right?

Yeah.

Yeah.

So they have in there these rubber holders for your phone.

Wow.

For the GPS.

Yeah, so you stick it in there.

It grasps no matter what size phone you have, like, until you can, like, look and see where you're going.

It's great.

We didn't know.

They were on our phone, like, holding it and try to steer with one hand.

Wow.

Man.

See, we, City Bike here, wouldn't do that because they're like, ah, it's an extra 11 cents to put that on the bike.

So fuck it.

Yeah.

That's America, baby.

Yeah.

But yet they all love us.

Well, they make fun of us that we're annoying and fat, but

they watch all our movies.

They will listen to all our music.

They like all our TV.

Yep.

Same thing we feel about Tim Dylan.

Annoying and fat, but I'll never stop watching it.

Hey, there you go.

Hey, today.

I think America to them is like a spoiled

kid who's still interesting.

It's interesting.

We do have the best movies.

We have the best music.

Yeah.

We have among the best music.

It's just like they like ourselves.

I met some people.

We're just walking home late at night.

What?

We're cocky.

We're cocky.

They're all West.

I met some,

it's a t-shirt manufacturer.

They're just running off shirts, and it was all 90s bands, like Mazzie Star and like some hip-hop and stuff.

I was looking at it, and they kind of waved me in.

I was like, oh, this is cool.

Like, why specifically this?

Like, it's what we're into.

Yeah.

He's like, I'm 41, and so it's like kind of what I grew up.

I'm like, ah, wow.

No, I've never seen a Mazzie Star shirt anywhere.

Oh, exactly.

That's why you always hear these artists.

Like, I'm huge in Paris.

Yeah.

I go over there once a year and make a million dollars.

Yeah.

And

what I liked was he was telling me about it.

He's like, everybody run shit off.

I don't know.

It's like this easy way to like run off t-shirts.

I'm kind of like a role sort of artist and stuff.

And he's like, what are you doing?

You want to go to a bar?

I'm about to go.

I was like, okay.

Didn't know me.

Wow, you see?

Went to a bar.

We're just talking.

Told me a term, boo-boo.

Boo-boo.

Bourgeois boom.

Like upscale, downscale.

It's rich people that try to act poor.

Oh, you know, right.

Worn jeans.

I'm like, I'm just worn on the streets.

Like, no, you're not.

Like Mark Cuban with flip-flops and cargo shorts.

Yeah, but like you're like a hipster.

Most of Brooklyn, Williamsburg is very young.

Got it.

Got it.

That was the big thing with COVID when everybody had to go back to their parents' house.

You're like, oh, you grew up in a mansion?

Right, right, right.

And you're like living this poor.

Like, I'm just a struggling artist.

But you're not.

You're trying that on.

Exactly.

You're wearing overalls for some reason.

Yeah.

But I went to

Australia years ago, and it's the same thing.

Like, we're so engulfed in black culture.

We got the hip-hop and the

cool lingo and the sneakers and everything.

They are so white over there.

I went to a nightclub one night, and I remember walking in, and they were blaring Sublime.

We'd have Drake or something playing.

Interesting.

They have Sublime.

We got like

that ass or whatever.

You should never listen to Sublime ever.

One of the most overrated bands of all time.

It's where I got.

I say, remember that?

I'm like, this is the nightclub?

I'm just bobbing my head with a try.

You know, a vodka vodka soda.

All right, what else should we say about Paris?

What should people know when they're going there?

Yeah, the food scene.

Just go if you like a pretty city.

It's so just walking around, right?

Walking around was all that you need to do.

Get a beer, get a loaf of bread, get a decent meal, get like a good jam bon.

It's a ham sandwich.

Oh, yeah.

Get a good ham sandwich and just walk around, get a bike, and get like a good beer buzz, like four, two, two to four beers, and just take it all in.

This guy, the guy who's classic took, he says his thing, it's like walk into the city, walk until you find something interesting.

Yay, perfect.

And talk to people.

And Paris is that.

Talk to people.

What did you talk to?

Well, I just talked to strangers.

Like, what's the best spot?

Where should I go?

Sorry about, you know, 9-11 and all this stuff.

So

that was enough.

Like, the bars, that was my favorite part because we'd go out all day, then you go home, take a nap, maybe bang.

And then by 8 o'clock, we'd get a cocktail and just bar hop, and it was the best.

It's a late-night city.

You can get dinner at 9

easily anywhere.

At 11, I'll say it again when I do my Paris pod, 11.30 on a weekday.

I got duck as a main course by the canals, S-Cargo for Hors d'oeuvre for whatever it's called, the pre-thing advertiser.

Yep.

Six

bonyon.

It's different.

Entree is their app, which makes more sense because it's the entree.

Yeah, enter.

Enter.

Yeah, what is that?

We just fucked it up.

And then what's their main?

What is it called?

There's a word for it, right?

There's a word for it.

Uh.

Main.

I don't know.

Uh, shit.

The headline?

I don't know.

There's a word for it, yeah.

Call in if you know.

Call in.

Call in right now.

But you're right.

Anyway, creme brulee for dessert because I was a given dessert, like creme brulee.

I'm like, that sounds French.

So yeah, I'm going to get it.

Two glasses of Cote d'Aron wine.

Oh, yeah.

60 Euro.

Oh, really?

And it's one to one now.

And there's not even a line for a tip, which is a Jew.

It's like, I don't feel bad for it.

The waiters get like a real wage.

Yeah,

two euros.

I'm like, I feel sort of bad.

60?

That's nothing.

And that's 11.30 at night also.

60 bucks about it.

60 bucks.

Oh, wow.

Yeah.

Which by the way, if there was tip, that means it's like a $48 meal.

Right.

You know?

Right.

Good point.

And that's like, two glasses of wine is $14 each here.

Yeah.

And also, you probably sat at that restaurant for two hours.

Dude, I saw this chick rolling.

She was hot.

It was two chicks and a guy, and she was rolling a cigarette.

She's doing it really well.

And I was way into, I was trying, I hand-rolled cigarettes the whole time I was there.

I was like, I'm going with a plan to sit at coffee shops all day and smoke hand-rolled cigarettes.

And my classmates are like, you smoke?

I'm like, no, I just started.

Yeah.

I'm not.

I'm faking.

Like, I'm not, I'm not good at this.

But I was staring at her.

Her tits were out too, which was nice.

But like, she caught me looking and I was like, the cigarette.

I'm looking at the cigarette.

Yeah.

It was early.

I was looking at your tits.

Sure.

But now I'm just looking at your technique.

Right.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's just a really fun place to be.

Walk around, take it all in.

And you really can just stop and like, let's stop, get a beer, and keep walking.

Let's stop, get a little sandwich.

You can split a small sandwich

at the little sandwicherias or whatever they are.

Patisseria.

Patisseria.

Yeah.

Patisseria.

Yeah.

We would just sit on a

They have all these tables outside with the big awning and everything.

We just sit there for hours and keep drinking and keeping.

Then you're like, yeah, you know what?

I'm hungry again.

I've been sitting here so long.

Let's get another.

Let's get another croc monsoon yeah there you go

wow do you have anything like you you're like i've never had anything like this in america food-wise

sadly no i mean i had the foam thing the foam thing yeah that's one that's you got me on that one that's yeah it was like a boof a buff which is beef beef yeah and then i got some weird crazy chicken like a chicken fried steak but it was like this big and it was just all breaded and it was really good but man yeah it was just a great time i want to go back i was uh on the way back from that meal whatever I was called home, I was talking to Tony, and I was like,

he's like, the food's so great there.

And I was like, and as I was walking by, I saw a fucking, it looked like an immigrant on his floor with a plate of food on his bed, just eating.

I was like, they don't all respect cuisine here.

Even the subway was clean, too.

Oh, yeah, you took the subway?

Took the subway around, yeah.

It's nice.

You can figure it out.

Oh, easily, right?

Yeah, they make it real simple.

It was clean and nice.

There's like carpet on the subway.

It was crazy.

With Google Maps too, you can just like, it just tells you, go yellow to pink to brown.

Yeah, exactly.

It's not difficult to get around to all the scariness.

Were you scared when you get there?

Do you get scared in other countries?

China was scared because you get there and you're just like, it's all these characters and all these Chinese people and all this.

But

that was scary.

But I still figured that out.

Yeah.

Yeah.

We went to the wall and everything.

It's like a six-hour flight, too.

I know.

It's right there.

It's right there.

It's like L.A.

Was English a problem?

No, not at all.

Not at all.

The only problem is I would do the French accent with English words, which is like the dumbest American thing.

I'd be like, oh, where is the water fountain?

You know, and they're like, the water fountain's over there, you cleave.

What is that that makes you want to do it?

It's like you're trying to meet them halfway.

Yeah, you're trying.

It's all I can do is fuck up the way I say it.

Yeah.

Water fountain, where is?

Like,

I know what you mean.

Ah, now you're getting me all excited.

I want to go back.

Yeah.

It's just a great time.

Yeah, just hanging in a bar or a cafe.

That's all it is.

Walk around.

I like the gardens that they had there.

Like the, I guess,

something Jardine.

Yeah, that's a garden.

Luxembourg Gardens.

Oh, okay.

Did you go to that one?

No.

It was south of the river.

Uh-huh.

Did you go to Shakespeare and Company?

No.

Joe Liz told me about it, but I'm like, there's a fucking line.

And I'm like, no, no.

What is it?

A bookstore?

It's It's a bookstore.

Yeah.

And he goes, there's a line.

I'm like, yeah, I don't know.

It's a bookstore.

Exactly.

I might wait in line for that.

Yeah, but I remember we just want to hang.

That's all comics want to do.

It's like I went to your, what is it, Ireland with the Vodafone Fest.

And it was me, Chris D, Rachel, Sam, Nate Bargazzi, Colin Quinn.

And we'd go, all right, we'll meet for breakfast at 11 at this, whatever.

And we would end up sitting there and like, oh, we got to go to the shower, and the show is in an hour.

That's funny.

That was the whole day.

I didn't see a lick of Ireland.

Yeah.

Damn, the streets really are pretty there.

And there's something fun about your phone not working.

I don't do the plan.

You don't.

I go.

That's smart.

I get Wi-Fi at the hotel or the Airbnb, and then I check everything out, and then that's it.

He downloaded an offline map.

But also struggling to find a place is actually pretty fun.

It is.

It's around here somewhere.

I ask for directions.

You find new things.

Yeah.

I was walking from...

My first day there, I was like, I don't know what I'm doing, so I'll do some activities that I have to get check off while I'm uncomfortable.

I was too nervous to even order order food because I'm like, I don't want to say it in English.

Yeah, yeah.

Until I got so hungry that I had to, or maybe I stopped by a 7-Eleven and just like, oh, just get nuts or something.

I was so nervous.

Really?

But yeah, yeah, yeah.

Every time I go to a new place.

But like.

I went from one museum,

Palais Royale, to the Musée d'Orsay, and then I'm just like, I don't know, I think it's like up, down, and over, and I'm not following.

And then I walked by the

Rembrandt Museum.

Oh, wow.

With a thinker, you know, that guy.

And I'm like, oh, here it is.

Wow.

And so it just presents you stuff if you don't

find the exact right direction.

It totally does.

It's good to get lost.

It's good to find your way out.

It's good to use your brain again because you've just totally given in to the phone.

A lot of people in the class didn't get the phone plan, and I was like jealous of them.

Because it really is like, we'll just come across something to eat.

We're not looking for the best place.

And it's poison.

You go, like, imagine being in Paris and looking at the Eiffel Tower, and you're like, oh, I got an Instagram.

Oh, so-and-so text on that.

Comment.

Yeah.

You're like, what am I doing?

What am I doing?

Go be with the Eiffel Tower.

It's that such a supreme waste of time when you're

the most magical place you'll be in for the year at least, but maybe forever.

You might never go back there.

Totally.

And you're going to like, what if they total up the amount of time on an eight-day trip that you were on your phone?

Like, since then it was seven hours.

Oh, that's heartbreaking.

And you're like, oh, no.

And that's low for eight-day trips.

I know, I know.

This in Paris was just a camera.

That's it.

That's it.

That's it.

That's great.

Yeah, unless maybe she would take a shit and I'd do a walk and listen to a podcast or something, but I was still soaking it all in.

Yeah.

Did you watch any music or anything?

Yeah, there was a couple street performers that were pretty great that we watched, but nothing.

We didn't go to a concert or anything.

I'm wondering what it was like.

The drinking outside, that was something.

There's just things you notice when you go to another country that it's just like you can't you don't really even remember it.

Yeah.

Like I was just noticing this.

They had a juggler here at a red light.

And then I was like, oh yeah, the Ecuador.

At all the red lights, they had like a juggler or a unicyclist or whatever, and then begging for change.

It wasn't just beggars.

It was like they performed a task.

Yeah.

And it was like, it reminded me of that, but it wasn't something I'd remember coming home until I just saw it.

Right, right.

What were those things in Paris?

I'm trying to remember.

Oh, yeah.

A lot of painter guys.

And a lot of them.

I saw mime.

Saw mine.

I saw mine, which is cliched.

Nobody cared.

She seen these Space Invaders?

Huh?

Those murals?

I did see one, I think.

Yeah.

He's from Paris.

Oh, is he?

Yeah, they're everywhere there.

Oh, pretty much the only thing I took pictures of is the Space Invaders.

I was like, oh, there's one.

Oh, there's one.

Oh, there's one.

That's fun.

Yeah.

It's also an excuse to take a picture of, like, you know, sometimes, like, one street will come and then it goes like two ways.

Yeah, yeah.

So you have a building in the middle.

Yes.

So, like, it'll be on that.

So it's like, it's an excuse to take a picture of the streets.

Right, right.

Because that'll, like, be in a corner or something.

Yeah.

I don't know.

You could take photos of it.

I mean, you went to eight museums and you took a photo of the Space invader nine times oh here's what i was gonna say though when you go to the gardens and the and the rembrandt it was it rembrandt it wasn't rembrandt who did the thinker

godot

no

rodin rodin it was a rodin it wasn't the rembrandt it was a rodent museum so they had these they have some some sculptures inside say some sculptures outside um

small like busts inside and not all rodin too but um

you're walking along and i'm noticing these gardens and you look back at the house that the museum is and i'm like oh oh, that was somebody's house.

Yeah.

And this was their garden.

Hell yeah.

And the Luxembourg Gardens, I was like, that was some royals' house.

Yep.

And this was just their estate where they'd walk with their girlfriend.

And I imagine what it would have been like then to be high class.

Yeah.

Oh, my God.

Yeah.

Must be nice.

Yeah.

And they got no internet hate.

So they were just living large.

Yeah.

All those paintings, you know, we see those people at the beach and stuff with the dot paintings from back then.

It was like, this is all the rich people.

Oh, yeah.

This wasn't like, oh, yeah.

Bring a picnic from KFC.

No, no.

That was like the, you know, the Rockefellers.

Damn.

But I just remember the feeling was so good.

You just wanted to get up and get out.

Where I feel like in New York, I'm always like, does that guy hate me?

Is she mad at me?

What the hell's going on?

This couple's breaking up.

She's crying.

This cabby's yelling at somebody.

Not that they don't yell or get mad, but it just felt.

It's like keeping context.

Yeah, and everything was very picturesque.

I have photos on my phone of just a guy walking down the street in the moonlight or whatever.

And that was just, oh my god, I got to photograph this.

And then I would go to.

It's so iconic.

Yeah, you walk past

an apartment, and

there's people hanging out on the balcony smoking and laughing.

And you see there's a party in there, and you're like, wow.

What are they doing?

What are they talking about?

That's kind of my life and shit.

Yes, that's just their life.

They're probably a bunch of students or they're in some art class.

Who the hell knows?

An orgy?

But it just was like, oh, I want to live here and be part of this.

I met a few Americans that had moved there, and it really was.

They were like, it's great.

Once you've learned the language dudes, you can fit in with anybody.

It's just like, oh, what about smoking?

It looks good.

They make it look good.

A lot of smokers there.

Parents smoke.

All the girls smoke.

Yep, yep.

It looks good.

It makes you want to do it.

If I could do it all over again, I would do the abroad shit in college.

A year abroad?

I would fuck abroad.

No.

I would, yeah, I would go to Paris.

My brother lived in Paris for two years.

No, really?

Yeah, he did the Peace Corps.

I mean, he really lived it up.

I would say to any parent or no kids listening to this, but like, tell your kid, take a gap year before college.

Oh, yeah.

Please live your life.

Live your life.

Go to some other city, get a job, or travel around Southeast Asia or South America.

But like, dude, why go straight to college?

Or fuck college.

Go use Google, save your money, and travel.

Yeah.

What would you do if you go back to Paris?

Like, what would you like?

Like, I want to do this and this and this.

I would probably hit the food scene a little harder because I think I missed that whole thing.

I was on fucking Molly, for Christ's sakes.

So I wasn't eating.

I was drinking a lot, doing drugs, walking around.

So I'd definitely hit the food more.

I'd get some more recs.

Like when I went to Italy, I just said, Mateo, put it right in my ass.

Give me the food, the restaurants, and he gave me some great spots.

So I would do that.

But I hit every site.

I think I would just get a, I'd spend all my money on a spot right by the river and just hang there and take it all in.

I'd just live in a neighborhood for like a week.

Yeah, I stayed in the 10th, which is more like it's borderline Little West Africa.

Oh, wow.

But it's got flavor there for sure.

It's like a hipster area.

Yeah.

And they have canals right by there, which like the river goes and then comes in.

And people are like, it's just like, you just, I don't know if you ever look at somebody sitting drinking a beer, like four or five, like 26-year-olds, and they're talking another language.

And you're like, I'm just like, what are they talking about?

I know.

I know.

And then you're like, do you know?

You remember when you first moved to New York, you're like, hey, my toilet's overflowing, but it's overflowing in New York.

Yeah.

You know, I wonder if they have that.

I think that's the problem with living in Paris is you probably just go, like, this is where I live.

It's not like, it's not Paris.

Yeah, I wonder if you get used to it.

I think you must.

I think a lot of them hate it there.

And then like,

you mentioned the revolution or whatever.

Isn't it weird that they were angry enough to be like, we need to have a revolution?

Yeah.

You don't see a mag.

But, again, I'm romanticized.

There's a bunch of Parisians listening to this going, what?

I hate my dad.

He fucked my sister in front of me.

So there is bad shit there.

But even when, who's that dancer who went there?

Chris Brown.

No, Black Dancer from

the 1920s.

Oh, Alan Avey.

No, no, no, no, no.

Black chick.

Dancer.

Bernadette.

Not Bernadette.

Bernadette Peters.

Black dancer.

But also James Baldwin.

Oh, yeah.

All those guys went there.

They all went there because they were like, oh, Black's Not a Thing Here.

Right.

It's just, you're just like, I like your writing.

Yeah.

Gay's not a thing here.

Right.

They all went.

Capote went there and Hemingway.

Yeah, Honeyway went there and they all discussed stuff at the time.

Like,

it just seems like it seems like a place to just to like postulate about things.

Yes, yes, for sure.

Which is what white people love doing.

We really love to postulate.

Talking about possibilities.

Yes, and then not doing shit.

We like to tweet and talk and complain and yelp, but we ain't doing shit.

There's a couple weirdos who get crunchy and get out there and pick up a shovel, but that's not many.

I heard, though, that's like, we've had friends that have been like, you know, gotten in trouble, and I've heard that they go there, you know, and people are like, oh, we don't care about that shit here.

We've heard you've gotten in trouble, but we don't even understand what you're talking about.

Yeah.

So welcome.

Right.

I heard that, too, about like Me Too stuff.

Yeah.

women are like well we don't we don't subscribe to that completely like we like being sexual yeah we like a guy taking a chance and trying to kiss us right right that's just what i heard that's what i heard hey i've never i've never tried to kiss anyone

i'm a virgin i'm a virgin that's right double virgin i put my dick we around shoved my ass so no one could touch me yes um do you ever get tired or how long does it take you to get tired of just going sightseeing

Like going to see the sights like the Louvre and whatever.

It's a little bit of a chore, but you got to do it.

You get to do something to get you out of the house.

Yeah, and my problem is the hangovers.

You know, I wake up and I'm like, ah, I'm hungover.

Fuck it.

I just want to sit here and watch TV.

But you got to just get over that hump and you're so glad you did it.

They all went to Australia.

I think Kill Tony went to Australia.

Really?

Yeah, so it was Tony and Redband and a few other people.

And Red Band's like, do you have any tips for getting over jet lag?

I just got to Australia.

They all want to go on a koala,

I don't know, tasting trip.

Sure.

And I was like, suck it up and go because you're going to be home and you're going to look back and like, why didn't I go to those koalas?

And you're not going to remember how tired you were.

So you're just going to have no memory of the koalas.

It's like my bachelor party.

We're sitting there.

I was dead to rights.

That's right.

And Bert's like, get up.

We're going on this boat and we're going fishing.

If people would have been like, hey, I don't feel like going.

I'm like, sweet, let's not.

Let's not.

I was tired and hungover as shit.

Yep.

But when you look at those photos in 10 years, you're not going to remember the hangover.

You're not going to remember the tire.

You're just going to remember you're there.

That's all I remember.

I don't, not now.

It's been a month.

I don't remember the fucking hardness to get up.

Exactly.

And what a fun trip.

As soon as you get a couple of beers in you, a couple white claws, whatever, and you're like, back out, the sunshine.

Like,

I'm not hungover anymore.

Not hungover at all.

The resilient body.

Then you go home and you nap.

You nap or like.

It's like a breakup.

You know, when you.

My friend was dating this girl.

He hated her.

She was a piece of shit, whatever.

And then they broke up, and he was like, I miss her so much.

And I'm like, remember you hated her?

He's like, oh, yeah.

I forgot she did all those horrible things to me.

And you just, you, you only see the good.

It's one of our nice nice things our brain does.

Yeah.

Internet only sees the bad.

Yeah.

Us, we naturally like, eh, they were pretty cool.

Good point.

The internet's like, don't forget the fact that Tom the Jaywalked.

Yeah.

Remember when John Wayne said bag in 1941, string him up.

Yeah, get him out of burial and string him up.

Yeah.

Yeah.

All right.

Let's wrap this up, I think.

All right.

Are there any, do you have any,

Lewis said a segment I should do is have you convince me to go to to this place, but like, I already went to Paris, so I can't do that there.

Uh-huh.

Another one is what made you decide to go there.

We already discussed that.

Yep.

Which seems almost cliche.

It seems right, though.

It is cliche, but it's cliche for a reason.

There is a cliche for a reason vibe.

Yeah.

Where it's like, you don't want to be there and then not go to the Louvre when you're there.

I didn't go to the Louvre.

When you're right that close.

I got tickets one day.

I was doing something else.

But like, you're that close and you're like not going to go.

It's like, do the cliche thing.

There's a reason it's a cliche.

Yeah, yeah.

I mean, when I moved to New York, I did the Statue of Liberty.

I did Wall Street.

I did the Empire, I did Central Park.

I just get it out of the way, and then you can live.

I never went to any of those things.

Really?

Yeah, I never went to the Statue of Liberty.

They're all right there waiting for you.

Yeah, I should go.

Statue's pretty, but you can go inside of the lady.

Did you go up the Eiffel Tower?

I did.

How was that?

You see the whole city?

Great.

There's a bar in the

58th floor.

So you hit that and you just keep walking.

At the Eiffel Tower?

Yes.

You walked it?

I walked it.

I walked the whole fucking thing.

Wait, you walk up the steps and then stop at a bar?

Yeah, and then take a breather.

It's French.

I know.

That's so fucking French.

There's nothing else allowed but a bar.

I think it's a restaurant, but I just got a beer there and then just kept walking.

Wow.

You ever heard the story about the guy who, some inventor in Paris, made wings, and he was like, these wings, I believe in them so much, I'll go to the top of the Eiffel Tower and jump off.

And he just died instantly.

I did hear that.

You did?

It's like a famous thing where you got to respect

the confidence.

And the people gather below.

Yeah.

Right below.

And he's like, here I am.

He's like, damn it.

That was it.

When he's like, it must have some time enough to go, not only am I going to die, this is just the worst.

I call it so humiliating myself.

Very embarrassing.

But he owned it.

I like that he stuck behind his product.

I went to the Eiffel Tower, but I did not go up in it.

What?

It was just like out of the way from where I was.

And it was like, I kept, it was like.

The line was bananas.

Don't get me wrong.

I was really having fun with what my vibe of the city was, which was just cafes.

Got it.

So, like, if I go back, I would go.

And, right, the line is like, I'm not sitting here waiting by myself.

I saw a sunrise there, though.

That was nice.

Hey.

Is it open?

Like, you can.

It's open now.

Oh, okay.

Oh, it's always.

So no one's there.

Ah.

I recorded a promo for this podcast.

Whoa.

Because my buddy told me in class, he was like, hey, I went in the morning.

Wait a class.

I went early so I get breakfast.

He goes, there's no one on the lawn.

Wow.

It's a late city, so it's a late start also.

Right.

So I went and recorded this thing, got a beret in the shirt, and I held a baguette, and I was like, wee wee, I love travel, everyone.

Please watch it.

You'd be tripping.

Here's the other question I ask everybody.

There's no right answer here.

Any travel tips for people?

Ooh.

Or for yourself that you use?

Yeah, let's see.

Travel tips.

I would set everything up.

That's the beauty of online.

Set it all up early because you don't want to get there and go, what do we do?

Yeah.

You never.

You want to research?

Yeah, you want to have it it done.

Research, ask some wrecks, get a lot of wrecks.

Because it is fun to explore and it's fun to get lost.

But it's nice to be like, all right, tonight we're going to that restaurant.

That we talked about.

That we talked about.

Yeah.

I like to have, that's a good one.

I like to have a few things to get to.

Yes.

But also not be too concerned if I don't get to it.

Yeah.

If there is like, hey, I'm going to, I'm a huge Rodin nut.

I'm going to that.

And if it's like, hey, guys, it's day three out of four and we haven't gone yet.

Like, I want to go to this thing.

Yeah.

But like, I was like that for the fucking Lucha Libre.

I'm like, I want to go to that.

Yes.

Everything else, like, that's in school, but if I don't get to it, I don't get to it.

Yeah.

But, like, a couple things to like, so you're not just like, I don't know.

Yeah.

To do.

And like, the hump thing is true.

Get over that hump.

Everything in your body goes, can we just eat and lay down?

Just get up and get your fat ass moving.

Go lay in the park.

Go lay down the park.

Go on to the park.

Something.

Listen to people.

Get lost.

I know that's like a negative derogatory thing.

Get lost, but get logged.

Go get logged.

Get on the subway and just go.

Yeah.

And then get off.

Like, I'm going to get off on the third stop and then see what happens.

It seems so counterintuitive.

Yes.

But the fact is, you're already there.

I know.

So you're just letting fate decide if you do that, if you just get off the third stop, whatever that happens to be.

And if you're like, whoa, this seems dangerous, then you're like, all right, I got some out of here.

Yeah.

But like, it'll just be someplace and you'll find something.

Yeah.

And third thing.

Yeah.

Talk to people.

Talk to strangers.

Another hump to get over is go, hey, you from from here and they're gonna go whoa What's the accent?

And then now you're off and running It is a good talk.

You know what Henry Rollins always says people go like what are you doing here?

And or yeah, what are you doing in Paris or what are you doing whatever if they recognize him or if they don't he just goes I'm here to meet you

Because

existentially he is he's coming out just to meet some random and here he is doing it.

I like that.

All right Rawl I've stolen it so many times here to meet you.

Yeah.

So would you ask like people on the street like for a record like is there a good restaurant on here?

Is there a good place to get whatever here?

Throw all the ego out the window and just be the ignorant fat tourist.

Also, my feeling is like if I had to tell someone how to live in the East Village or the West Village, and if you had a friend coming in and like, hey, what's there to do around here?

Or what's a good pizza place?

It wouldn't be the one

in the lonely planet version of New York.

It would be, oh, there's a new one that just opened around the corner from this.

It's pretty good.

You know what I mean?

The non-touristy thing is what I'd want someone to tell me.

Yeah.

And a local is like, oh, the best fucking baguette or a good coffee shop is that place.

It's closed on Sundays, but that's the best coffee shop.

Yeah.

You know, it's not like the most traditional or the oldest, but it's like, this is where we all go.

Right, right.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Do the real shit that the locals do.

Yeah, that coffee shop next to

the cellar is the oldest coffee shop in America.

Reggio.

Yeah.

Yeah.

But I've been there once by accident just because I was like, oh, I heard they have hot chocolate here.

Exactly.

Yeah.

But like, that's not where I, that's not where I'd tell someone to go get coffee.

No, God, that's a great point.

When I first moved moved to New York, I met a girl at a bar and we hit it off.

And I was like, let's go on a second date.

She's like, where should we go?

And I said, Cafe Reggio.

And she was like, shut up.

Shut up.

And I was like, you're right.

You're right.

So we went to a bar and that fucked.

But yeah.

Good times.

That's so true.

Gafkin has that old great joke where he's like, I like to travel.

And it's funny when people go like,

what are the locals doing?

You know, it's noon.

Where do the locals go?

They're at work.

It's so true.

But they're not in Paris.

They're not at work.

It doesn't feel like it.

Damn.

They just seem like they just have money.

Yeah.

Isn't that weird?

I always watch TV and I'm like watching a reality show.

I'm like, they're in this huge house.

Who has the word?

They get the money.

That's how Rogan had a joke about that when he sees rappers.

And he goes, him bent over,

stacks of cash in each hand, big booty women in front of Ferrari, it's in front of a mansion, and it's their first album.

It's like, you haven't even released a song yet.

Oh, that's great.

It's not yours.

That's good.

Do you rent tits and booties and vouses?

vouses?

I think it's all alone.

Yeah, that's what it is.

The company, the whatever.

Anyway, fucking cool.

Yeah.

Now I'm dying to travel.

I can't wait to get to the bottom.

You know what I want to do?

Because I did one with Soder about Iceland.

He's like, we should go to Iceland.

I'm like, we should go to Iceland.

Well, maybe if we keep cooking and get our career together, we can.

I feel like, how about this?

Let me just throw this out there for you.

Think

12 months in advance, not from today, but in general.

12 months in advance if we say next summer

just a fucking comedy trip yeah he wants to go to iceland but just anywhere of just like guys let's just go somewhere for an eight nine days oh that'll be amazing we'll take so much time we'll do it in the dead season of the summer or whatever and just go have fun see some shit everyone my friends did this uh this guy in the writing class who's gonna be on this podcast um

about Morocco.

He said they went somewhere and every city they went to in like Thailand or something was another of the group of fives thing.

So like if let's say we're going all over Europe, you get Copenhagen or you get Amsterdam, you get Copenhagen, you get London, you get whatever.

And so there's no like, what should we do?

It's like Mark already decided what we're doing.

Oh, that's good.

You guys want to add something?

Hey, let this place look cool.

Sure.

But like he knows it.

And so you can just like seed control and just have fun.

But what if you get some cum guzzler who's like, I don't want to go to that museum.

I'm in Amsterdam.

Let's stay home.

Fuck off.

Stay home.

We're doing this today.

We decided.

We're doing this today.

Interesting.

Yeah.

So you might not get.

Yeah, anyway, whatever.

There's got to be a way to do it.

We can have fun.

We have.

It's not even.

We feel rich because we're living like normal humans.

I know.

Because we didn't for so long.

But like, we could take a trip to Europe.

Totally could take a trip.

South America, Southeast Asia.

We can go anywhere.

Well, our friends are psycho.

I went to a wedding this weekend.

I took Friday and Saturday off to go to a wedding.

And my friends are like, You're not working?

Where are you at tonight?

Are you on the road?

I'm like,

I'm in a tuxedo in New Hampshire

on a boat.

Yeah.

So, yeah.

But now I know.

I'm leaving a Monday.

Skip one weekend.

Come back on the next Thursday.

Now, let me ask you a question.

Yes, sir.

I'm getting married, and we're going on a honeymoon, and we still haven't figured out where.

What is your record?

What you told me was a great idea.

Oh, you like that?

I love that.

Okay, maybe that'll be it.

Because she's hesitant.

Why?

Well, it's just

such an ordeal.

It's such

a big thing to take on.

You want to talk to Monroe?

He just went on a comedy trip, Kenya.

Oh, I will talk to him.

Yeah.

He did a great safari, overnight safari.

Listen, if you're looking for the cliche romantic thing,

it's not going to be that.

But if you're looking for the romance is, let's start our adventure in life together on another adventure somewhere, then I think that's a great, you want to go to a place that hasn't been overly visited.

Yeah.

You really can look at it wide-eyed and like go in.

You don't want to go back to anywhere you've been.

You know, it's just like

go to Paris another time with her, but not honeymoon.

It's like, yeah, do something wild and interesting.

Right.

And if you do go there, as soon as you get back, come back on, you'll be tripping.

You got it.

Yeah.

All right.

Yeah, I love that idea.

Where else are you thinking about?

We thought about Thailand,

and then we thought about Istanbul.

Ooh.

Yeah.

Thailand's the most accessible foreign place.

Is it?

It's really set up for tourism.

You've been?

I've been a few times.

I heard you live like a king.

You do live like a king.

Beaches.

I can.

Well, let's talk.

Let's talk.

I'll talk to you and May, too.

Because there's places you can go.

Bennett, would you relax?

Tony's homie's don't fucking freaking out.

Lady's home.

All right.

Ladies and gentlemen, this has been Yubi Trippin'.

Fin.

Episode Finn.

I am in right now the Patreon room, patreon.com slash UBTrippin.

I do a few different things.

I'll cover a place sometimes on the Ub Trippin' Pod.

I also do this thing where people send me postcards from their travels around the globe, and I read them, comment on them, stick them up behind me.

I'm going to fill up this whole fucking wall with the patrons and anyone's

what's it called?

Postcards.

You can send it to UBTrippin' Pod, 151 First Avenue, number 49, New York, New York, 10003,

USA.

This one

from the Camino de España, like we talked about with Jasmine Shaw, somebody took the trip to Camino.

I've actually, since we did that episode,

met a couple other people that did Camino.

It really is.

It's like the SNL cast.

Or being a comedy store regular.

It's a unifying thing.

And I was jealous of everyone.

I met this old couple that did it.

They were in their late 60s.

Maybe early 60s.

Maybe mid-60s.

And they did nine days on the Camino.

You don't do the whole thing.

It was jelly as shit.

Came to...

Oh, it's tough to read.

Over the stamp.

Came to Santiago de Compostela after the Camino de Santiago episode with Jasmine.

No fucking way it got them there.

Bro, I'm gonna tell you this right now.

Anybody who travels because of this podcast, it makes me feel good.

I mean, it's legitimately.

It makes me feel fucking great.

If it can help incentivize you or inspire you to get out there in the world, it's fucking nice.

No, excuse me.

Let me take that back.

Fucking noise.

Came to Santiago de Compostela after Camino de Santiago episode with Jasmine.

It's full moon and summer solstice.

Wow.

Perfect for tripping in this cool old spiritual cities.

These are the Camino routes.

Stay tripping.

From Crispin.

He's got

Camino de España.

Let's see it right here.

Pretty fucking cool, huh?

Pretty cool postcard.

Damn, that's fucking badass.

España correos.

Correo means letter.

Duolingo is doing its job.

Very, very slowly.

Nothing will fucking replicate actually getting out there and fucking using the language.

Some fucking cook or fucking busboy at the stand and I try to talk him in Spanish.

He goes,

He whips by me.

I got fucking nothing.

I got fucking nothing.

Ah.

I got 850 plus days.

And I can't even fucking...

I saw my stats too.

It said, like, you can have

basic conversations with people and ask directions.

I'm like, what?

I'm a 24.

I gotta get a 30 and then I can talk a little deeper.

Damn, imagine being on the Camino.

And they got a fucking postcard and sent it.

your mom's house has redeemed itself.

They were getting too big for their own britches, so to speak.

That's a pun on jeans.

I got to close it down fully.

It's UB Trippin' Patreon.

That's it, you guys.

I hope you had a good time.

France was cool when I went.

I should do an episode about me because my experience with Mark Norman, and this is the podcast, is going to be way different than yours.

Mark went on a romantic trip.

I was there for a memoir writing class with Rolf Potts.

It was fun.

That's where I met Jasmine.

I met Zalia.

Also, I did an episode of my other podcast.

And Zane Jarecki, I met there, too.

And that's where I did that fucking podcast about Morocco from a hostel in Paris during...

Rolf's writing class.

I'm going to do a lot more

from all over the world.

Got one coming from Romania about Tokyo.

Got one coming from

Australia about

Guatemala.

Got another one from Australia coming about New Zealand.

The Guatemalan one, I was there with the guest.

All right, guys, thank you very much for tuning in.

Until next week, who's next week?

I believe it's going to be H.

Foley.

I believe it's going to be H Foley on Greece.

And I got a special announcement for you.

I got a new studio coming.

Oh yeah, I should have said this earlier.

Fuck, we're already at 6.40.

Well guys, I guess if nobody's listening, because they're not, leave in the comments if you have heard it this far.

I built a new studio.

Me and Toby McMo, Toby McGuire, yeah, that's right, Toby McGuire

from Spider-Man, from the Spider-Man franchise.

Came in.

He left his job.

Toby McGuire left his job as an actor to help me build a new studio, Toby McMullen, from the Are You Garbage.

Different experiences all the time.

If you're looking for a travel guide, look no further than Lonely Planet.

If you're looking for experiential stories, look no further than the UB Trippin' podcast.

Yeah, that's right.

Mark Norman's version of Paris.

It's gonna be way different than my version on a writing class

by myself around the city.

Not romantic at all.

Smoking ciggies, rolling cigarettes, smoking near babies at cafes.

That's all I wanted to do, right in my journal.

All right.

Until next week, they troll.

I can't wait for you guys to see this fucking studio.

It's fucking badass.

It's badass.

Bye, everybody.
