Ecuador w/ Jordan Jensen | You Be Trippin' with Ari Shaffir

Every who down in Who Newville liked the holidays a ton. But where to get great prices on gifts? They had no idea.
None. They searched and they searched for great gifts under $25.

Gifts for spouses and friends and even their toddlers. When suddenly one who shouted, Walmart has what you want, knowing they have Lego, tree hut, and no prices to flaunt.

So they enjoy the holiday season as who's often do. Cheering and shouting, Walmart has incredible gifts.
Who knew? Find gifts they'll love under $25 at Walmart.

Funny money. Coin.
Bitcoin. Yeah, but what's that called? That's called

digital dollars. No, no.
What is it called?

You know the word, right? Yeah, yeah.

Crypto. Crypto.
It's the only podcast that is only crypto. You'll be tripping tripping coin right now everywhere.
You rob banks. Today's my guest is Jordan Jensen, well-known lesbian from Indiana,

who has a new pod, a new special out right now called

Take Me With You. Take Me With You on Netflix.org.

I was at the taping. What a fucking wonderful job.

That's it. Where are we going today? Ari was my mentor through the entire thing.
I would have died without him. Such a dumb fuck.
It's so crazy. You're such a dumb fuck.
I hired people.

Ari was like, fire them. I was like, what are you doing? Let's talk through this.

While I'm waiting, I hired these five people. Like, what? That wasn't the plan.
I said, let's check in next week.

Yeah.

And it ended up being so good. Yeah, it was great.
Really cool.

Finally, somebody used my set designer, Lauren Halper. Oh, my God.
She's incredible. She took a thing out of my brain.
And put it on the, I couldn't believe it when I saw it.

I was like, this is exactly what I wanted. I heard all this this stuff after I ate a Jew.
People are like, oh, I love Jew. I love the way it looked, the whole thing.

I want to do something like that. Let me hire one of Ari's whole team.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That it's like, sweet, I'll just get the fucking one cameraman.
But you even were unbiased.

You were like, go to meetings, look at all of these people, see their ideas. I saw a bunch of ideas.
I met a bunch of people who are set designers. And hers was just like, are you talking about this?

Pulled it up. And I was like, yes, dude.
That's right. I met with a bunch.
I settled on her. Yeah.
She's good.

I'm sure there's a lot of good people, but it's like, definitely at least meet with the people who have done a good job. Yeah.
Well, you did, and you hired her. It was such a cool look.

It was so cool.

It was as fractured as your brain. Yeah.
That's what I was saying. As sloppy and as all over the place as whatever's going on inside there.
Hell yeah.

As full of herpes as you always are. Yep.
Every day.

Where are we going today? What do you want to do today?

So

I would like to talk about Ecuador. Coyote, you're not going to.
I thought of Costa Rica. Same thing.
I mean. Was it one trip? It's Ecuador, but you thought it was Costa Rica.
I said Costa Rica.

No way. Outside the village on the ground, you said Costa Rica.

I've never been to Costa Rica. I mean, okay.

I don't know why.

I call the dog the N-word a lot, and I'm going to have a hard time being on pod without saying it.

They see with their nose. Like, it's above his eye line, but he knows something's up there.
Dude, first of all, it's a girl.

Second of all, I was just watching border collie videos where a guy would spit spit on a marble, throw it into a river so far away, and the border collie would find the marble. Oh my god, incredible!

These are wild.

Okay, Ecuador. Ecuador.
You've never been to Costa Rica. No.
Well, then it's not Costa Rica. It's Ecuador.
Yeah. Let me redo this real quick.
Where is this?

This is what I have. Where are they on the map there?

Ecuador. Where's Costa Rica?

Okay.

You want to preface this? What's what we did before?

Jordan is one of the

rare air here on the Yubi Trippin podcast. A rare what? Rare air.
Rare air. Yeah.
Yeah. You mean because of my last one that I did?

Yeah, you're one of the various people who recorded an episode that I would not put out because of how awful it was. It was so bad.
It was so boring.

It was really boring. I had just gotten back from Rome.
I just showed pictures literally of Rome and how happy I was to do it.

Okay. Wait, but we don't know if this one's going to be boring.
And that, well, then we can still say it. Okay, great.
Come out. That's a great question.

I literally just was like, first of all, I was so intimidated because I wasn't friends with Ari yet. So I was so scared.
So I literally just was leaning on my slideshow. And we just walked through it.

And I was like, and this is the Coliseum.

And this is my mom. This is my mom eating meat.
This is my mom eating pasta. And that was the whole thing.

How did she say pasta? The pasta there is like, oh, yeah, I remember that was red pasta. I just gotten back and I was like, oh, I'll talk about this trip.
I didn't even think to talk about past trips.

Yeah, it was, it was interesting, too, because as I'm doing with this podcast, I realize I have to tell people, like, go to a place you've been, go to an eventful place you've been.

Ronnie Chen came in, they said it had to be like nightmare trips. I'm like, no, it doesn't have to be nightmare.

Who's telling these people these things? Just something interesting that happened. Yeah.
Did you get laid? Did you break up? Did you get due drugs? Do you get in a fight?

Did you see a fight? I don't know. This one is interesting because

it ricocheted into the future what does that mean well I'll tell you okay there was

there was there was a um

acid trip okay that I had where when in Ithaca after I went to Ecuador okay

after you went to Ecuador interesting yeah after I went to Ecuador and I was on the cover of the Ithaca journal in your acid trip in my acid trip. In real life.
So basically... Pause.
Okay.

In real life, you were on the cover of the journal or

on acid you thought you were on it? On acid, I started, I had been taking acid for years. Totally fine.
Every day? Not every day. Yeah.
But every couple weeks. Yeah.

Having a great time.

Then

I was... It took acid, started having a bad trip a little bit because I had just started studying philosophy in college.
Yeah.

And then I, you're never going to find it, and then

you can look it up, May 23rd.

You can't find it, you can do it in the archive and you have to pay for it. I'm just looking at this, okay? Go ahead, yeah,

and then um, I started tripping, and I walked by a friend of my father's, and I was already having a bad trip. And he goes, You're famous,

and I was like, What? And that's you were on acid. I was on acid.
You don't want to hear stuff like that. You don't want to hear stuff like that.
I, and it spun me into oblivion.

I, I forgot how to, I couldn't swallow, so I couldn't drink water. I forgot how to swallow.
I couldn't speak. And I, the worst thing was, I

forgot how to walk, and I couldn't deal with the idea that my bones were going to have weight on each other.

So I was just in the woods in a crumpled pile because I needed all of the weight off my bones because I thought they were going to shatter each other.

So then my friends had to somehow get me back to my house, okay?

And then I saw on the Ithaca Journal there was a giant picture of me in Ecuador holding a hoe because I was building houses there.

And I spun out even further because I got convinced that because it was May 23rd, which was my birthday month, and 23 is my lucky number because I was named after Michael Jordan, that I had to kill myself that day.

Oh, so I would. I would love to see that math.
Yeah, it was acid math. It's so funny, though, because it was like, okay, sure, the May, your birth month.
Should be more specific.

It's one in 12 chance. And then 23, it's like, okay, not your birthday.
So,

all right,

one in 31 chance that it'll be your birthday. So, 30 and 31.
And then, like, what are the other numbers? Like, what is my lucky number? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay.

Yeah. Great.
I still could see all that. Yeah.
And then it's like, so I have to kill myself. Like, whoa.

How are you getting there?

How is it not just like, I got to invest in Bitcoin? Yeah. Right.
Or maybe this is a very special day. Yeah.
Maybe I'm going to meet my

man of my life. Right.
Maybe I should cut out this picture of me on the Earth Journal. Oh, yeah.
Maybe I should save the journal.

yeah the murder the killing yourself cool that i was in the journal on my lucky number day that's it but no why would that mean suicide i was committed to kill to dying that day okay

and i went up into my room locked the door so that i couldn't kill myself and then proceeded to have the most epic trip for eight hours where i was like scribbling in notebooks i was i got i had the worst ocd at this time like i had crippling ocd and i like left the acid trip having my ocd like mostly solved because i like went full sicko mode and was like writing and figuring out why I had OCD and what it came from and what it was trying to say and what it was did

and I like walk and I it was like residual and it held and OCD for people was it's off-color diarrhea that's right that's right green or like bluish or red okay yeah off-color diarrhea on contact diarrhea you wrote in there what

I just wrote all I got to the bottom of manifesto I wrote a manifesto yeah I mean it was more like mad crazy like scribbling being like, this is this, and this is why this, and this is, and I, like, got to the bottom of it.

And since then, my OCD has been, like, way better. Better? Yeah.
Wow, it's crazy the psychedelics, what they can do. Isn't that crazy? I mean, it was bad.
I couldn't touch anything.

I couldn't touch the refrigerator. I couldn't, I had to do like sit in the shower for two hours every day.
When was this? Before I knew you? Oh, yeah.

This was, I was, when this whole thing went down, I was probably 20.

Oh, wow. Yeah.
Hey, everybody. Let me break in to tell you a little bit about the guest Jordan Jensen.
She's got a new special out right now on Netflix. Directed by my director, Eric Abrams.

DP'd by my DP. I love the term DP, but apparently it's not what you think it is.
Jordan Levy, my set designer, Lauren Helpern.

She pretty much used everybody that I use, which is kind of crazy because after Jew, you know what I heard? After Jew, people go, I want to make that.

So let me hire one of the people that I already worked with out of the fucking 10.

And she was the first one to be like, let me just get them all. So she got Eric, we got Lauren, we got fucking Schuler, we got

anyway, but I was there for the taping. It's fucking phenomenal.

Guys, that's it. Let's get back to the episode.
What were you doing in Ecuador?

Ecuador, my dad owned a

business called Community Building Works, where you built, volunteers would build houses for him, right? How was that for community kind of stuff? Yes, And my mom had the same thing. What is it?

Housing Works? No. Community Building Works.
Okay. You think it's still there? Well, he's dead as hell, but it might be.

But you know what? You can look up my mom's, and that will tell you what it is, because my dad just had a similar thing. Community building works.

Nope. No, it's closed.
They shut it down. Look up Amabelle.

What is it? Look up Amabelle Pocket Neighborhood. And that's what my dad had, and my mom had one too.

And they are like, so they're, my mom is a lesbian. Yeah, met her.

Sorry. It's true.
She loves you. Oh, yeah.
Click that.

Okay.

So it's like sustainable housing. This is all there.
My mom really pulled it off. Why do they,

if this is all there, why do they.

Why is it fake? Yeah. I don't know.
Also, why isn't there more to the website?

Is there more? Amabelle is sold out. I wish I could build 10 more just like it.
We need more housing models just like it.

Are there pictures or anything?

It is real.

Okay,

I believe you. I have pictures.
Why are these like,

yeah, these are like, what is it called? On my mom's Instagram, there's real pictures, but God, she's got to put real pictures. Oh, keep going.
Keep going.

What a terrible website. It's just scroll down, scroll down, scroll down until you finally get to I'm not a robot.

Yeah, I got to talk to you about that. Look at Captcha heavy.

No, I don't. I don't want to.
That's all I got sidetracked last time. Anyway, it really does look like this.
Like, she did it. Like, this is the thing.
Built it like a community?

Built a huge community. It's right behind her house.
It's unbelievable. And this is fake, but it actually ended up looking like that.
It's sick. So you were doing this in Ecuador.

Well, so this is the thing.

So my friends were working for either my mom or my dad. That's what would happen because you had to do something for senior year.
You had to like help the community.

so my friends were and my dad mom and dad hated each other okay okay so the whole half of my high school class was like yo jack's the best we get so fucking high with him and they're like no sue's the best she fucking lets us drink and they were like this so then i was like dad i'm not working like with my classmates i'm not doing this right but i worked for him for money so he was like okay here's what we're working

for money yeah

and so he was like i'm gonna send you to ecuador and you're gonna work with this

on a mission trip. We're going to send you on a mission trip, basically.
Were you Mormon? Not at all. You know Keith from Wise Guys?

You ever go to Wise Guys? Yeah. He's Mormon.
They're all Mormon. He went on a mission when he was 18.
They all go on missions. What do they do?

What do they do? What do they believe? Try to get some people falling off the path back on.

But he got sent to Ecuador. What does it mean to fall? Oh, really? Yeah, like if you're less religious.
Yeah.

When I told him I lived in Ecuador, he goes, Oh, me too. I'm like, when? He goes, when I was 18.
He was on a mission trying to get in. You lived in Ecuador? Yeah, six months.

All over. Toto Paisa.

Toto La Paisa? Toto La Sa. It's so hot.

It's just direct sun. Where were you? What city were you in?

I don't know. Oh, what city? I was near

Guayaquil. No, the big one.

Quito? Yes. Quito in a little small rural area with like

Quito is so hot. Quito is so hot.
It's 9,000 foot elevation. Is that low?

It gets high.

It gets so hot. But I was doing construction.
Okay.

And we were in a little tiny farm.

It was like full of... I mean, the people were like kind of retarded.
Yeah, I mean, yeah. Like...

Bad. I can spot them.
They're the only people I can spot in the subway. By race, you know? Like, you know how you know Koreans are the first Asians you can tell apart? Yeah.

Ecuadorians I can tell apart. Really? Yeah.
From living there. But the hill people.
Did you meet them? Yeah. Some of them don't even speak Spanish.
Yeah, I know. That's what I'm saying.
Yeah.

Like, I would try and speak Spanish to them and be like, and they'd be like, they would be like the Whitakers. Like, they'd be like Cambridge.

They speak Quechua.

So you're out there doing that. Who'd you talk to? Who'd you hang with?

What'd you do? So first, what happened was I lost my passport. Okay.
And my dad dropped me off at New York City and just said, figure it out.

But you're not, I mean, you're not getting there if you don't have a passport. I got there.
Was it in your bag the whole time? No. I had to go.
I had like 24 hours.

I had to go to one of the rush passport places. Where are you from? Ithaca.
Ithaca. Oh, right.
And I was not, I'm not a city girl. Right.
I was like,

I think this, yeah, this, I was like 20. And I had to go to the, I had to.

go get my passport and then get on a plane. I got there like 24 hours late and was like, had no sleep.
I had just finished finals in college. I fully like had the flu.

And then I remember they were like all going on this giant hike when I got there, which I did. But then because I did the hike and I had the flu, I became like their god, which was very weird.

Like they were all like obsessed with me, right?

And then, um, and they were just like, oh, you did it. And I was, I think it's because I was also being very funny, but they like, there was this worship of Jordan as the girl who made it.
But then

there was this worship of this other guy who ran the village. So here's the deal.
This guy was like, I'm going to take this mission trip full of middle-aged women. Okay.

All these women are going to come on a bus. He was super hot.
He looked exactly like Jesus. Okay.
Okay.

This is

near Quito. Yes.
Okay. All these women show up.
They want to suck this guy off.

Understandable. Okay.
They want to suck him off so bad. And then, oh, yeah, let's see if we can find it.
Oh. Keto's in the north.
And Zambato. That's a great one.
It started with a P

where is Keto? It's not Panahashell, is it? No, no. It's like...
Quito's up here. Wait.

It's like Paguan. Hold on.

Keto's there. Let's see.
Let's see. I don't see.

PFO? No.

No, it was in the freaking sticks. In the sticks of Keto? Yeah.
I mean, if it's a village, it ain't going to be on here. Yeah, it was like that.
And it was a village.

And they were shitting in this damn street.

There was no streets. They were shitting on.
They didn't have fucking bathrooms. They didn't have any.

What is that? No, no, no.

Chingui.

Yeah. Yeah, I don't know.
Okay, so go ahead. Oh, Pifo? No, we already said that one.
No.

But P, but I love when you remember something. You're like, P also could be somewhere in there.
It might be the first letter.

Via Flora, no. Okay, anyway.
It was tiny. And it was just like at the top of a a hill.

Okay.

Okay.

So all these middle-aged ladies come in, right? And they go,

I guess the plan was for my dad to send me on a mission trip. And in exchange,

we got an Ecuadorian who would help community building works or something like that. In New York.
In Ithaca. In Ithaca, yeah.
It was something like that.

Wow, what a fucking short of this thick you got. Yes.
This guy got to go to Ithaca. Yeah.

And I had to go to Padua. You can flush your toilet paper.
I know.

Had to go to Padua. Yeah.
It's Padua. All right.
It was.

It was fucked up. And then, so then I go there.
We go on this big hike. I'm the king of the castle because I'm also the only person who knows how to do construction.
Okay.

So then they say, we're building

a recycling center for these guys. Okay.
Okay. Cotapachi? No.
Go ahead.

Pachincha? Nope. Okay, I forget out now.
Two-syllable. Pongo? No.
It's more like Pongo, but I would have remembered that. It's not in the Amazon, is it? No.

Puyo?

That's close.

Puyo's kind of close to the Amazon. The Amazon's right there.
Avocado trees, big jungle. It was jungle.
Those spiders that were banana spiders. Pabalacta? No.
You wouldn't know it.

It was like pangar, panga, pungi. Not puyo.

Let's look at puyo and tell me. Let me see what Puyo looks like.
But it's just going to be the city, I bet. There's no city here.
But the city here, it's a loose term.

Puyo, boom. That's a city.
This place didn't have roads. It had goat trails.
Oh, really? Yeah, it was fucked. Okay, well, this is now.
All right. Go ahead.
And then

I thought it was retarded that we were building a recycling center. And I was like, why don't we build these people fucking toilets? Yeah, recycling center is like, they don't need to recycle.

They don't recycle. They need first cycle.
Yes. And then I was like, these people live in tiny, weird huts.
They're really, they're really good at soccer.

Really good at crazy that they could not speak, but they were fucking giggling the ball up for 40 seconds. It's crazy.
They fucking strikes from crossfield. It was these kids were like,

but literally were like eating, you know, with the wrong end of a fork. Yeah.

They also taught me popcorn and soup. Yes.

So good.

This? Pooro? No. Okay.
Look up, look up villages.

But how are you going to look up villages? Look up, like, it was like Pangar,

Panar?

I mean, small, small villages in Ecuador.

Okay. All right, let's try that.

I mean, hopefully, this village has been wiped out by a fucking

let's see. Mom Piche, no.
Ayampe? No.

Vikabambas is in the south. Otavalo, no.

Monpiche, Mount.

No, these are all fucking beach towns. These are places where people want to go.
Yeah. All right, fuck it.
It's not going to happen. It's a small-nothing village.
It's enough.

I mean, how many people live there? Nine. Okay, that's not going to be.
I swear to God, there were probably like five huts. Okay, okay, okay.

Okay, so go ahead. Forget this.
You've sidetracked. I realize now what your OCD is.
That's what we got lost in the pictures before. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You did that. that.

You were helping me with this.

Okay, so then.

Yeah.

My OCD is a lot worse than that. My OCD is: I should remove all my skin so that my nerve endings can feel the wind.
That's fine. I realize now the problem.

My OCD is: I want to rip off Coyote's back leg and eat it like a chicken bow.

I will not.

Look at that leg, though. Look at that chicken leg.
Look at that. All she was doing at your special was just trying to grab a leg and she could go like this.
This is so funny.

She goes like this.

Oh, she's letting me do it now.

Okay,

okay.

Giant lake, hike, circle, ring. You could see the whole way.
I got it. Giant.
I got it.

You know where it is? Yeah. Where?

I've been there. A picture is going to come up soon with it.
Really? Yeah. That's not it.
Is it a tiny village, though? This village is around it. The lake

is

lake. I can find it.

We did that whole hike. That's a a long-ass hike.
It's like a multi-day hike between three and seven days. It's fucked up.
Yeah. Yeah.

It's a crater lake. Yeah.
Yeah. It is a crater lake.
Yeah, I was there.

It's amazing. Bandit's been there.

Who's been there? My dog Bandit. Oh, my God.
Kilatoa. Wait, do you, when you travel with him, you put him under the

whatever the fuck he wants. Yeah, but do you put him on the plane or under the plane? who would put a dog under a plane what do you mean run it over what do you where do you keep him on the plane

what do you keep him it's a fucking living thing he can do whatever he wants no he can't what they stop him at the airport who would stop bandit

the tsa that wouldn't stop bandit maybe some dogs when you fly he's serviced what he serviced

You serviced him. I mean, I do service him all the time.
She serviced. Yeah, I love that they changed it from emotional support to service dog.
And then we're like, what does that mean?

Like, it means it's even easier now. Yeah, it's just illegal.
It's got an illegal thing. You just have to be able to say it does a service.
Yeah. Like Kilotoa.

I was in the same place, and I have met on this hike in small villages where you come across for directions, you're lost on this hike. Yeah.
And they're just like staring at you like, one tooth.

One tooth. Hey, I have directions.
And they're just like, bro, first of all, and you're like, can you write that? Like, no, I can't write anything. Yeah.

I grew up out here in a mountain away from everyone, a small farm. It's crazy.
Occasionally, my son would take my excess cabbage in to trade it for fucking something. Yeah.

And then they would just do things like grab the poisonous spiders and just be like, look, and like have this giant spider on there. Like, they're fearless.
Wow. And they can't speak any words.

You went to Kilatoa Lake?

You went to this?

Yeah, but I don't remember it being

days to get around it. But maybe we didn't go all the way around.
I mean, no, no, no. It's probably a day to walk all the way around.
Oh, okay, okay. To get to it, you're way, way back here.

No, we drove to it, walked around it. Oh, you drove to it? A whole day thing.
Okay. And everybody was amazed that I did it.
Laguna Quilitor. Yeah, because you're a quitter.
Because I'm a quitter.

What's the town? Mirador. Okay.
And then... Laguna de Quilitor, yeah.

So everybody really respected me, but then the Jesus guy showed up and they were like, wait till you meet our Lord and Savior, this guy. Jesus Christ?

Well, it was Jesus Christ.

It really was. It looked exactly like him.
He didn't wear a shirt. He was so ripped.
He was so hot. That's the guy everyone wants to fuck.
Yeah.

And I mean, truly like 33. It was truly the age of Christ.

It was, and he was a babe, and he was so like smarmy and would just like weave these women into his orbit. And he had everything on lock, and all of the people who had at the village worshipped him.

And then,

and then, so here's what happened. We get there, and I'm like, hey, are you sure recycling? Like, why don't we build them a house or like a community space? What's really? It's recycling.

They don't give a fuck about recycling. What the fuck are you talking about? It was bizarre.
And the guy was just like, no, recycling, I guess, is like, that's,

I guess it must have been good publicity or something to be like, we're helping the planet. Oh, yeah.
Because they were throwing their recycling off the mountain. Yeah.

So Ecuador has, from what I know, I lived there for six months, so I am very connected to it. They have a, in the Constitution,

they have a rights of nature in the Constitution saying you have to respect nature as much as like whatever. And I thought it was very awesome.
And I talked to somebody from there, and he goes, yeah.

And I was like, what do you mean? He goes, yeah, it's in the Constitution, but like.

It's like a Native American thing.

They don't abide by it. Right.
They do crazy amounts of mining. Yeah.
And they litter everywhere. They fucking have oil spills all the time.
They don't have any respect for nature. It's just like.

It's just hiking around for six months. No, I had a car who's driving around.
But one of them was,

let's see, George Jama. Let's see here.

Bujajama Mountain Lounge, okay, to Lake Kilatoa.

Okay, here. it so Lagura Kilatora.
This was a walk.

Holy shit. 12 hours? Not really, though.
Way more. It's another thing I discovered in Ecuador.
All the Google Maps directions was like meaningless for time.

It was like, oh, four-hour drive. Like, that's 12.
Really? Yeah, the roads are all fucking busted out and everything. And so you go, like, I can make that four.
Definitely five.

You're like, that's a two-day drive.

And so you're like, hey, if it's starting to get dark, find a town, pull over, because you can't drive at night. So you drive all up here or even further.
Did you fuck people there?

Did you fuck randos? And you're all,

I wish.

Yeah, were you like that kind of guy? No, I wasn't like doing that, but like here or there for sure. Really? Yeah.
Would you go into villages and just get fucked up? I mean, I would take over.

It's colonialism. Right.
North America. I'm tall American.
You're tall. Yeah.
It's just like it's my town now. Puyo Pacha.

No.

Pamba. Bilingua Pamba.

Pamba sounds correct.

No. So it's this region.
You're within walking distance of it or driving distance? It had to be close. So yeah, you get there and you just like hike, hike, hike.
There's a lodge there.

Hike, hike, hike, hike. The lodge there.
Hike, hike, hike, hike, hike, hike, hike. You come across here.
Those are villages. And then you, yeah, and then maybe.
I don't wonder where these are.

Where are you lodging? There's like hikers' lodges and like, and then in like small towns along the way.

You know how like a hike will come and cross the town, then go back into the woods, cross the town, they have all these wood furnaces that they can be like, we'll make fire for it because it was so cold at night.

Maybe you went a different time.

It was cold at night. Yeah.
Wait, so then you would just hike around for when did you do that? Uh, 2021.

2021? That wasn't long ago at all. No.
Is that what you're about to do? No.

But I mean, is that what you did? I'd like to go back here, but honestly, from what I've heard, the gangs have taken over the country and it's not safe anymore.

So so when you go to south america which you've already been to yeah parts where are you staying all over you staying all over yeah are you hiking doing some hiking no i'm not gonna hike from town to town to lodges no i'll be like going to hostels and like stay hostels

yeah with multiple people sleeping in one room

it's not as bad as you're saying oh

everyone is quiet with bandit or without without bandit Unfortunately, without bandit. Because he's too old? Because there's too many land borders.
Yeah.

And there's all these these like quarantine rules. So to get him to Ecuador was like...

Have you done Europe with Bandit?

No.

I want to bring Coyote to Europe. You could?

Some of them are like, well, you got to get your shots and you got to get them within 10 days before.

Well, I can do all that. Do it.
Look into it and do it. But I don't want to do quarantine.

Look at where you can do it without that. Yeah.
But then you go country to country, then it's like, you've got to get another shot, another shots every time.

And they're like, oh, that's not going to be doable. If you're doing a whole European run.
I am doing a whole European run. Look into it.

Service dog, can I bring it all over Europe? Once you're in the EU,

those aren't like real, like, separated countries anymore.

Yeah. So it's only England to

France, and then from all these, you're already in.

Okay. So you don't even stamp your passport.
If you're going from Germany to Poland, there's no passport stamp. You just walk right through.
You're already in the EU. If you go from America to Poland.

She also might not want to fucking do that, though. She might not want to do it.
Yeah. Yeah.

Okay, back to Ecuador. There's Jesus guy.
Jesus Guy, everybody worships him. Yeah.
And I made the mistake of being like,

maybe a recycling center is not a good idea. I was like,

and he really didn't like this. And he decided...
Jesus. Jesus.
And he decided that I was the enemy at this point.

You're the only fucking American coming here.

Well, all the women are there. They're Americans.
I was the only American who knew how to build this. Who lived off? Who what? Who lived off.
Yeah. They loved him.
Can I tell you?

I've seen some movies before. I have seen some movies in the past.

The guy in charge, he doesn't like when a woman lips off, but in the end, he does love it.

That's who he falls for. He didn't like it because I exposed his giant devious plan.

He had a huge devious plan. To do what? I'll tell you.
Unrecycle? I'll tell you. Okay.

So then

we start building this recycling center. And I'm like, fuck it.

My idea is I'll make it airtight so somebody can sleep in it, right? Like, it won't just be bullshit. Okay.
And that way, because they're not going to use that as a recycling.

What does that even mean? What does that mean? What's a recycling center? Who's going to bring their stuff there? I know.

Somebody's going to live there. They're going to move their freaking cousin, Labotito, in, and he's going to live there.

Yeah. Hi, guys.

Terms apply. So whatever.
We start building it and

all of the

village people are helping. And we build it by using plastic bottles, which actually was cool.
Plastic bottles filled them with concrete. Oh, and made it out of that.
Yes. That's cool.
That was cool.

So that could be. Build a home from recycled materials, one thing.
Yes, recycling center

in who's going to come up to that fucking

to recycle? It's crazy, because I guess, yeah, I get here's the whole thing: the missionary trips were like, we're saving the planet, missionary.

So, then Jesus was like, Okay, we're gonna build a recycling center, and they went, recycling, that'll help climate control. So, they went and did it, right? Because that was their thing.

Building one house for Juanito is not gonna get the mission trip, right? Yeah,

so then the crazy thing that happened was

we build, we build the whole recycling center, right?

And then the whole point is at the end of the trip, we get to go to this big avocado farm that get to, yes, okay, that Jesus owns that's like very beautiful, and that's like the

break that you get. So we build the whole thing to work on his farm, yeah, because I know you've been doing a lot of work for the community, you guys all get a bonus work for me now.

So we build the whole thing, and um,

we build build the recycling center. I forget.
I don't know if I, I for, I don't, you know how like you go on a trip and you're like, there's a person I bonded with.

I don't have that memory in my head, but I do think I bonded with a bunch of the younger, because I was young, a bunch of the younger village kids because I didn't really speak Spanish and they did, I don't even think they had language, but we hung out.

And I, you know what it was? I kind of just became like the leader of the project, right?

Because they trusted you because you had building experience because of the building experience yeah so that's what it was that because i'm like what was i spending most of my time doing it was being like it was organizing these old ladies

so then i'm organizing the old ladies at one point i get lime poisoning which sucked that's been good in ecuador um oh my god it's beautiful

yeah sorry so one point i get lime poisoning you get lime what lime poisoning not lime disease no oh lime poisoning from the lime in the concrete because i'm trying to keep up with the ecuadorians which are the best they work hard.

They're that don't work. They were bringing in slabs.
If anybody's interested in construction, this is crazy.

In America, we take it up, we take in a trunk, we truck, we empty in a bunch of cement, and then we level it with two by fours. That's the easiest way, fastest way, dirtiest way to do it.

The Ecuadorians were pouring in water, pouring in cement, putting boots on and walking to mix the cement. So just shuffling around, walking.
The work ethic. It's crazy.
And so I started doing it.

I was like, okay, I'll do it the Ecuadorian way. And I get the boots in, but the concrete gets in my boots.
And in the U.S., we don't have nearly as much lime as they use.

So I burn my entire legs and down my feet, get full lime poisoning. It was just, it's just heat.
It's just like

acid? It's like acid. Oh, my God.
Yeah. So then there's that.
So then I have to like treat that, but then we do the whole thing. And we end up building the recycling center.
And

then I fucked up so bad. So we finished the whole thing.
You finished the recycling center? You did it? We did it. Because we had like a week.
To build a whole recycling center?

Well, it was probably like half the size of this room. What? Yeah.

Just with those bottles using his concrete. I can, we can.
Concrete you can build in a day. Oh, okay.
There's no wood. Just the size of this room.
Okay. Okay.

All of their houses were like half the size of this room. Fair.
Yeah. They had no toilets.

None. Okay.
Holes.

Outside? Outside. Oh, boy.
They had a soccer ball. That was the most.
They had a soccer ball and popcorn. Oh, boy.
And then. Oh, boy.
Popcorn and the soup. And Seboyado.
Popcorn and the soup.

So then I'm like, okay, this is just how people live here. I get this idea in my head.
I'm like, this is how, if you live in the country or rurally in Ecuador, you live like a hill person. Yeah.

But then at the end of the trip, they take us to Jesus' house.

And he's trying to try to fuck all of you. It is.
The most luxurious home I have ever seen. Hammocks, like beautiful,

every, you know, like a glamping resort.

Yeah, for sure. Yeah, insane.
Okay. Then I'm like, this is really weird because he is the god of this village that is literally eating their own fucking young.

He's a fucking warlord. Then he shows us the avocado farm, and I'm like, I am probably one of the only people who'd made friends with the locals, right?

So all the women are like, oh my God, avocados on the trees. And look at this spider.
And I, and then I turn to one of the farmers and I'm like, whatever his name is, I'm like, Pablo.

And he's like, like yeah and I'm like from the village and he's like yeah I work here and I was like oh he pays you to work here and he's like no no we he builds us stuff and so we work his farm in return for him so the mission bitches build a house Jesus gets all of the retards to work on his farm In return for the bitches building them stuff.

Yes. And his farm is a highly profitable avocado farm.
What a racket. Isn't that crazy? What a racket.
And I said it to the women. I was like, hey, and Jesus, I said it to Jesus.

I was like, let me get this straight. You get mission trips to Poland.

Yeah.

American Karen here. Some questions.
Yes. And then he turned on me even more, hated me, was like very against me.
And all of the women were like, don't talk about this.

And they like put it together. And they're like, no, I'm sure that there's, it's not like that.
It's not like that. And I was like, you guys, this is crazy.

And the whole trip was like because i said to jesus i was like hey doesn't this seem odd and then there was it was just like the rest of the three days were like the most awkward because he was like we're ousting you he was just like he was just like no you don't know what you're talking about you're gonna ruin the whole operation lady no it's not that you're not talking about i get cheap labor yeah it's free yeah it's free labor He doesn't pay for anything.

I get free labor in exchange for that. I trade that for more free labor.
Yeah.

Wow. The mission, God sends its angels to build shit for the fully,

fully mentally challenged. What did you eat when you were there besides sopa?

Yucca.

Yeah. I love yucca.
Yeah, it's good there, huh? It's so good. Yeah.
Do we have it? Can we get it? We can, but we don't get it much. Oh, it's good.
Yeah, a little fried yucca, too.

Like little fries almost. And then some meat that

is good. Good chicken.
Yeah.

Lots of great fish.

Oh, yeah. A lot of fish.
Fish in bone. Especially up up there.
They got the trout. Yeah.

It was in bone. It was very

bone in. Bone in, yeah, yeah.
When a guy's in me, I say that. I say in bone.
So I got confused for a second. Where's that with the fruit on the ground? Yangon, Myanmar.
Where's Myanmar?

Of course it's Burma. You've been to the Middle East, too? That's the Southeast Asia.
Edge of the Middle East. Have you been to the Middle East? I've been to Israel a bunch.
Really? Jordan once.

What are you doing in Israel? What? What do you do there? Intelligence. Oh, okay, okay.
Egypt? What's your favorite place?

Come on. That's a crazy question.
That's the first spot on the hike to Kilotoa Loop. Whoa.
Spanish St. Bernard.

Favorite. If you had to live somewhere, no comedy, nothing.
No comedy is allowed. I'm not allowed to do comedy.
That part of my life is over. Yeah.
Berlin. Really? Yeah.
Nice. I'm going to Berlin.

I'm really excited. Yeah.
Berlin sounds awesome. January 6th.
Nice. That's what was happening with my life January 6th.
I I was on a hammock in Ecuador. That's awesome.
Yeah.

And everyone was texting, can you believe us? Can you believe us? And I didn't even know what they were talking about. I was like, what?

I was literally watching the news and just like wasn't paying attention and then finally turned. Finally, I was like, oh, what? You've been traveling forever?

Yeah. Well, not forever, but probably 12, 15 years.

That's just what you do with your money. Yeah, that's what I do with my money.
That's good. Yeah, and it doesn't cost much money.
I have this like American girl way where I'm just like, I want to,

America is so sufficient for me with Montana and the sure. Oh, yeah.
I mean, there's amazing parts of America.

I mean, we have the best. I would say of all the bests we have in the national park system, I haven't seen a country that can.

I've been looking. I haven't seen one that like matches us.

Oh, yeah, that's Zion is us. What? I was like, Zion's good.
And then I was like, that's in America. Yeah, that's in America.
So Zion's coming up. What are you getting there? What do you mean?

Zion's being built up now. But, you know, it's starting to excavate.
Yeah, it's getting better every day.

I think if I live somewhere, I think it would be Rome. Rome.
I liked Rome so much. Right.
But I haven't been to Berlin. Why do you like Berlin? Is there a lot of sex?

There is a lot of sex. I don't like the Amsterdam-y sex,

sex, and weed.

I don't like too many drugs. Well, that's Amsterdam.
Right. Also weed.
Is Berlin like that? Berlin's a lot of drugs. Really? But also a lot for everybody else who's not even into drugs.

That's Bannon outside Kilotoa on the left.

That's him in front of Kilotoa lake that's crazy that is what it looked like yeah that's crazy and that's the thing that's tattooed on your arm yeah what is that thing it's a flower

it looks like you could eat it you can't eat it no you can't eat it um

so then you just got kicked out you left did you get kicked did you laid it all the way there how long were you there for it was one week one week so no way laid

were you into the guy no i i really he scared the shit out of me he was the most incredible cult leader of all time and i had that vibe before and i was like you know what jordan he probably lives in in a fucking shitty village just like this.

And then when we went to his house, I was like, this is this also makes sense in a different way, though. Yeah.
It makes sense in a different way.

And the other thing that we did was we actually, this is so fucked up. Yeah.
We helped him package his avocados from his farm. Like he was like, this will be a fun learning experience.

He went out to like fucking, oh, come on. To Florida? Yeah.

And there was a lot of avocados. They're big there, too, huh? Do you remember that? Yeah, they're so big.
They're like this with a pit like this big.

I just started eating exclusively avocados because I had a candida infection in my body that made my butthole itch. What is that? It's just like...
Something you don't wipe? Huh?

Something you don't wipe? No, I wiped too much, actually, but I was eating so much candy that I had to switch to like exclusively avocados. You ate too much candy and that gave you candida? Yep.

Sounds made up. It's real.
You had too much candy. And that gave you a disease called candida.

Jordan,

I'm going to tell you as someone who, I know what creativity is. I think you'd do better than that.
What you just made up. It's true.
I didn't put that together till now, but it is true.

Feeds off sugar. It's like The Last of Us.
It's like a fungus. It feeds off of it.
It makes your butthole itch.

It's like athlete's foot in your butt. Oh, my God.
But avocado. Yeah.
So then, okay, so then full circle this.

You get done in Ecuador. You've built this recycling plant.
There's no way that's still there. I mean, there's no way that's still there, right? It might be there.
That we can look up.

We've got the sidetracked there. What? We can look it up.
We can try.

Let's see here. Is this better than the Rome one? Yeah.
Okay, great.

Recycling plant. Let's see.
What do you think? Recycling center.

Oh. Okay.

Who's it?

Okay, we got a few.

What?

recycled?

Now I think that it started with an R.

Recycla.

No, no, that's recycled. But now I think the place started with a R.
Interesting. Okay.
Well, that's tough. Fuck.
Because now we'll never know.

I mean, there's literally no way we're going to get this because

we could if we could.

If you subscribe to the Ithaca Journal, you could do this. Yeah, for sure.
What's on the Ithaca Journal? Do you have a screenshot of that?

How do we get? Okay, hold on.

I know how to search this. It's Ithaca Journal, Jordan Jensen.
Ithaca Journal,

Jordan Jensen, May 23rd, but I had to go to the archives to find it. Oh, yeah, it's before they start putting everything in.
Right, and the archive you have to pay for.

Damn it, just give me the fucking screen grab, bitch. That's my dad's obituary.

Well, I'm glad he's Jack Jensen

dies suddenly at 58. Jordan Jensen was no.
What? That's me on the lake with Bandit.

Oh, you went down in there? Yeah.

Long hike in. On the way out, you can use a mule, but the guy I was with was a shot.
Oh, that was the other thing that happened. This

there was this

donkey. My mom, this is actually kind of funny to me.
My mom is like a weird animal person. Coyote, get out of there, buddy.
Coyote, come.

She got a hoe in this. Let me see if I can find it.
I can't find it. Okay, your mom is a what?

My mom is like a weird animal person, and she's always like, if you, if you, like, she pats cats' butts too hard, and she's like, they like it. They love it when you pat their butts too hard.

and then it does turn out that if you pat a cat's butt pretty hard it will become very attached to you it's becomes it's slightly aroused and that's like a mating thing but she like knows these tricks to how to get animals to be obsessed with you and she always taught me with horses to pet them on the neck like this like jerk off their neck basically and they really would like that

so then i went to ecuador and there was this fucking mule

That like I pet it like that and it became ins it followed me everywhere and eventually we got to a cliff and I had to climb off the cliff to get away from this mule so that I could get back out of the field.

Yeah, it was like slamming up against you, and just like you go like this. And they like that? Yeah.

But I forgot that I had to climb down the side of a mountain with all of the women being like, Yeah, stop, y'all got it. And I was like, I have to do this.
We have to get away from this mule.

You're never going to find it, right? I'm never going to find it. If you go to Ithaca Journal archive,

go to Ithaca Journal archive. And what did it say in there? What was the article about? It was just about Jack Jensen's initiative by sending daughter Jordan.

That's why I saw historical news, Jordan Judson. Ugh.

I don't know how people search themselves or anyone who's not famous. When it's hard enough, you're famous to not be able to find anything.
Looks like there aren't any great matches for your search.

Why isn't there any just Ithaca Journal Archive? Just type that in. Ithaca Journal Archive.
Oh. I just found it on my phone, but I did then it.

community blank all i see is this community promotes

community promotes something something yeah

Did you go to Ithaca?

No, I wasn't smart enough. I didn't get in.

So you come home, you finish all this. Wait, so the horses fucking follow you or the mules.
Yeah, I had to climb down a mountain to get away from this mule. And then it just fucking brayed

for so long after us. And it was like,

wanting back attention. Yeah.
It was

so cute. Yeah, I know, because it probably never gets pet.
Yeah, they're like work horses.

They're so good, though, the way you can just... attach them.
That was it. You spent a weekend doing fucking building a recycling plant.
A week in Ecuador. Yeah.
And then right back.

I did one in Puerto Rico, too. What did your dad say when you

got back? What was the response?

He was mad at me.

Because of the Jesus guy. He reported? Huh? He reported? No, he was mad at me because I was like...
Because you didn't fuck him?

Because I was like, that guy's fucked up and you shouldn't send people with that. And he was like, don't talk about...
Don't talk about Jesus. Don't talk about Jesus.
My boy. It was crazy.

There's a whole conspiracy pro this man. You couldn't, nobody was on my side.
It was like 15 women. And I was like, can one of you please see how exploitative this is?

Is there any chance you were misreading it?

Dude, I was like, that's a worker. That's a worker.

And I said to Jesus, I said, hey, he was, because there was a point where he was like, does anybody have questions when we were packing the avocados? Oh, I got a lot of questions. Yes.

And I said, yes, I do.

I said, don't you think it's a little odd that you're basically getting free labor to build a recycling center, but then you're getting labor that you would otherwise have to pay for to do the thing?

And he was like, he was like, they're very happy. They like doing this work.

And I was like, I bet they are because I think that you're giving them shit. I mean, they're getting a free recycling center, but it's not free.
They could have just built their own recycling center.

And then you don't get any. No, it's a lot of labor.
But they're doing the labor on the avocado farm.

Right. I'm saying transfer that avocado farm to that.
Right. And now you have a recycling center.
Right. And you don't have to fucking help fucking Jacko get it.

I don't know if they can get the concrete and all that shit up there because their huts were, you know, sticks. Oh, right, yeah.
We had to like get the concrete mixed up.

I kind of remember these now on this hike and whatever. You just come across this mountain.
Like, I wouldn't even call it a village. It's like too small for that.
It's too small for that.

It's like a collection. It's like a couple families.
Yeah. Four or five.
Yeah. You would think it is just families.
I think it mostly was, but they have. And they're just up there.
Yeah.

They must have so much crime, so much women abuse up there. Who's going to come up? Who are they going to report to if something goes wrong?

What's interesting, though, it seemed actually crazy peaceful

so part of me was like maybe we should be living like this i was just in a small small town in alaska and they were like everyone has to be cool here because it's too small for you anyone to be an issue oh really if you're like standoffish like that won't work with what we got here we're gonna run into each other well the alaskans are like

When I went to Alaska, it felt like every time I left a room, everybody would stand up and hug you. And they'd be like, and I was like, why is this?

And my friend who lives there, I was like, what is going on? Why is everybody so huggy and nice?

Like, at a certain point, I was like, Dodging it, and she was like, It's because people die so much that they're being like, This could be the last time I see you. Oh, my God, which is crazy, yeah.

But they're the nicest fuckers. It's too bad you didn't get to do more of Ecuador while you were there.
No, we went down into Keto to buy the boots to buy the boots.

There it is, right in front of Lake Kilotori. Dude, that is with the llama.
Yeah,

yeah.

When we got there, we're after four days of hiking, it's just like who is that? Cloudy and cloudy. That's Bandit.
That's a llama.

I didn't see a llama. What? There was a llama? Yeah, right next to me.
Oh.

And Bandit was freaking out with the llamas. Really? She'd be like.

It's like I've never seen it. That's how she is with horses.
Really? Yeah.

Where's that?

These are all mixed-up places. That's Ithaca.
That's Ecuador also with List and Sarah.

Mindo. They went to.
They came to visit me when I was there. That's cool.
Yeah, Mindo. We went on a long hike.
That's the Amazon in Ecuador.

Anyway, we're referencing people.

Oh, that place ruled. Where's that?

The Amazon? So Ecuador's here,

and it's just like deep in. The Amazon goes from here till about here.

This is all just like, who knows? A couple tribes live there. Nope, you can't really get in.
Why can't you get in? What happens if you get in? Dense, dense fucking trees.

A couple rivers will get you in there, but there's no road. There's nothing here.

So you don't go deep in or else you'll die? You went pretty deep in, but there's like a couple enclaves of towns set up. So you can

start there. What are they like? Are they weird?

They're like refuel stations kind of for all the villagers. They'll come and do trade, then go back up through the rivers, get some

fuel or trade, like whatever they're picking for, like, you know, concrete or whatever.

And then from there, like the little inlets and they'll disperse it from there but it's like Venice where it's on the water no it's just one river here I'll show you it's just one river or two because it goes from the mountains it goes down so

wait okay

so

Quito's in the mountains in the Andes this is all the Andes this little white right here yeah and then there's rivers that go this way out toward the ocean the water falls on here right yeah and then it has to go it has to go down so it goes either this way to the left or this way to the right.

And all these rivers here are it going to the right. Well, that's a road.
But then, like here. So that's a river you can take in to get further and further in into the Amazon.
How do you get out?

You got to take the river out. You need.

So

it takes you one direction. Coca, that's a major fucking town to deep in there.
And so we met up there.

Who, you and.

I met up there with a guy. Oh, okay.
I met him who's like my guide to go in. So we met up there.

Could you die? No, we didn't die. But could people die? What would kill you? There's jaguars out there.
There's definitely snakes. And then you just go further and further in.

This is Yasuni National Park, but this is all Amazon. So it's like there's little villages here or there where they've cleared out like land and they have like homes and stuff.

And they're like, you know,

lodges. Because they're from there.

Exactly, though. I mean, you're not wrong.

And then that's... All these rivers just go deeper and deeper deeper in there.
And if you wanted to, I mean, I don't know what...

Look how deep this. So now this is in another country already, right? So the only way to get it, there's no roads to get into Nueva Florencia, Peru.
No roads.

But that goes from Ecuador all the way in. Let's just click on any one of these.
Puerto Carmen.

No pictures. There's no...
I don't even know what this is.

You have to weed whack your way out?

I don't know. Or fight upstream.
How did you get out of there? So they have fuel. Okay, here.
Oh.

In this place on the river in Peru. There's like a little town.
There's a couple pictures. I mean, god damn, that's beautiful.
That's so cool. And that's that Amazonian river.

You can just go down there. And then on the inlets and stuff, that's where piranhas are.
Oh, the river is pretty big. Yeah.
Oh, I was imagining like straight up swamp.

Yeah, and so it goes into swamps and that'll take you to some of the more villagery villages.

But that's pretty. And then they do farming and shit, you know? That's so cool.
Yeah. Oh, yeah.

But like, you're deep in there. I mean, that is the only way to get there without power is from Ecuador all the way in through to Peru.
It's like a crazy, it's just cut off. There's no roads.

That's so cool. I think it's the most amazing place I've ever been is the Amazon.
It just breathes. It fucking breathes in, out, in, out, all the time.
You can feel it breathing.

Look at where this river goes, so it just keeps going and going and going.

Iquitos, where the fuck is that? How do you get there?

Okay, there's roads. Oh, they have roads.
Yeah, so you probably enter from the other way way and meet up with the river. Where? Zoom out.
How do you get there? Let's see.

Geez, that's deep in there. They're deep in there.
How did they build roads? And there's uncontactables in here in the Ecuadorian stuff. So people, you just don't.

And they finally decide, leave them alone. You actually can't go there.
Oh, you're not allowed to go in there?

They're not. Yeah.

They tried to warn them of certain things. Like, how do we warn them about typhoons coming, shit like that? But they've survived for thousands of years.
We don't have to warn them.

And they go, maybe we'll drop radios and like give them alerts in like Quechua or whatever. Why? Let them be.

They found the one part of the planet where they can't be contacted and you're going to fucking break your back to get there. Yeah, exactly.
And they don't want to, well, I mean, they've always there.

And so they're like, we don't want to be tries to. They can look at the sky and go, it's coming in six weeks.
Yeah, they've dealt with it before. Yeah, they can smell what the cycle of everything.

Yeah, yeah.

Oh, they showed us all this fun stuff, too, where it's like,

they had all these different like plants that like do different things. Yeah.
So one was for period cramps.

That's awesome. And you're like, how do you know it's for period cramps? And he goes, well, look at the leaves.
And you look in the leaves. You're like, okay, he goes, turn it over.

And you turn it over. It looks like it's dipped in blood.
Every one of the leaves looks like they're dipped in blood. And they go, the plants talk to us.
They tell us what we need to use it for.

That's awesome. Yeah.
Other ones, like, it was snake venom. Like, and there's a snake that looks like a viper's tongue.

It's shaped like a viper's tongue. Like the split tongue.
Like, yeah, it's just telling us what we need. What the fuck?

Wait, I need another example of something we have. Oh, something we have? Yeah.
What do you mean? Well, I told Rogan all this when I went in there and he goes, oh, yeah, yeah.

He goes, all the big drunk companies go into the Amazon and research that stuff and then make it into pill form. Really?

Yeah, which, but it doesn't quite do it because one of the snake venom things, they're like, now the only problem with this is you can't, it has to be fresh.

So somebody gets bit, you got to go out there and get it. grind it up, take it back, because if you do it ahead of time, it just won't work.

There was another one with the tree with little like ants in there, and they'll give you like an hour of energy.

So, you cut open this thing, there's like a bubble in the tree, cut it open, eat these ants.

And if like you're in enemy territory, where if you make a fire, they'll go to come find you because of the smoke. So, they go, you can't make a fire, but you got to eat.

So, eat the ants, you can get, you can hike for an hour and get out of enemy territory. That's so sick.
It's pretty sick, it's the wildest place.

Yeah, they had a very different relationship to insects than I've ever seen. I mean, they would like if because we were like all freaking out, obviously, because the spiders are insane.
And the

was the scorpion in Puerto Rico or in Ecuador? Do they have scorpions in France? Probably Puerto Rico. Oh, they have tarantulas.

Yeah, they had like crazy spiders.

I did have a whole album on Facebook, but

I don't even know how to log into my Facebook. Anymore, really? Well, try.
Try to send it to me later. Okay.

And

but they did, they would be like, What were those? What are those spiders called? Corn spiders?

Spiders that were in the...

In the corn?

They were in the jungle, but I think they were called corn spiders.

No, they were... They're...
I think they're banana spiders. Look up banana spider.
Okay.

Why'd you say corn? Because we were in corn, and I was just thinking of that.

Giant bananas are most likely a Brazilian wandering spider. Ooh my god.
What? Is it that?

Yeah! Oh my god. It's that one down with the yellow, the yellow body.
This? Yep.

Those guys, they were just like grabbing and putting on their body and like they were super venomous and you weren't supposed to really?

Yeah, they were doing that.

Look at it. It's got a skull on its back.
Yeah.

Look at that. Yeah.

It's so frightening. But they had to tell you everything.
It was a little bit shaped with bugs, yeah. Yeah, even that.
It's like if the, I don't know if the, what's it called?

They're shaped like that, then like the bugs too. Like, it has a skull on it.
Yeah. It means don't touch.

Yeah.

That's so cool. Wow.

But they would just like move them. They wouldn't kill them.

Yeah, they would never kill anything.

Oh, my God. Because even like the bugs that would eat the avocado plants, they would just like relocate them.
Really? Yeah, instead of killing them. Would they just liked them? No, I think

they said that it was...

better to move them because then they would like colonize somewhere else and not in the place that they were whereas

oh interesting so it was like oh and they didn't use use pesticides. That was a huge thing.
Where he was like, I was like, do you use pesticides?

And they were like, we don't use any pesticides because it

fucks up what you can grow in the future if you use pesticides in the soil. Yeah.

Which is how we fuck up everything because we just use all the land, use pesticides on the land, and then the land is like, you can't grow anything else. We're dead.
And we just go, great.

And we move to a different land.

And then we, I mean, we can usually grow corn on anything, so we'll just grow a shit ton of corn to feed to cows to to fill up their stomachs.

And then, but yeah, we just like, but they have like a whole thing where you don't use pesticides because then you can reuse the soil.

You know, they have this thing called the three sisters, I think. And it's like three crops.

And if you use one crop all the time, it'll rob the soil of like one of the nutrients and kind of be like whatever. And then you got to go fallow for a year.
Let the soil kind of come back.

But if you rotate these three sisters that kind of feed off each other, I think it's like... Corn bean and

I forget the third one. Yeah.
Corn bean. You can do it in your own little garden.
Really? Yeah, you can do it like in a tiny little plot. You can do the three sisters.

Also, you can do it with animals. Like you can do, you can take your corn bean and squash.
Oh, yeah, squash. Growing together.
This practice developed by Native Americans utilizes, or whatever.

The complementary nature of these crops to create a mutually beneficial and sustainable garden ecosystem. So you grow them all, so then they all...

I don't get any of it. Because corn removes, I think it's something like corn removes nitrogen from the plant, bean replaces nitrogen, and then

goes. Oh, wow.
There's also legumes have an enzyme that are carried with them where they fix that symbiotic where the enzyme lives on the legume and just gives it nitrogen

because that's what it does, and it gets to live on the legume and stay alive. So legumes naturally have I think all this shit's so interesting.

Like, how do they figure this out without like breaking it down scientifically in the the lab? I don't know.

This is from like a thousand years ago. They're just trying.
Yeah. It's really cool.
It's very cool. And it's also like, did they figure it out by just being like, okay, corn is starchy.

This is acidic-y.

Do these go together? It's very cool. And you can do it with animals.
You can be like, I'm going to use the nitrogen from the rabbit shit

to fertilize this. Yeah, fertilizer.
They let like... the chickens into the cow pasture because they eat the parasites out of the cow patties.
That feeds the chickens.

and then but yeah, and then you use the chicken eggs, and then the they there's a whole farm that does that that I tried to work on, and they said they wouldn't allow me to do it because no women allowed because they kept fucking the farmers.

Corn provides a stalk, a sturdy stalk for the beans to climb, acting as a natural trellis.

That's awesome, yeah.

What did you just say?

I tried to work on a farm that was a closed-loop farm that was like that, where they had zero,

they literally brought nothing in, yeah.

Um, And they brought Doritos and fucked it up. They wouldn't let me because.
Because what? It was only boys. You would fuck up the ecosystem there.
Yeah. I know.

We used to all do mushrooms, all the comics in the comments are we go out to Joshua Tree and do mushrooms. And Kim Congnen was like, new.
And she was like, how come I'm not invited because I'm a girl?

Like, yes. Yeah.
There's a bunch of boys alone doing psychedelic drugs. And if we add a chick we all want to fuck, then it will mess up the whole vibe.
Yeah. Yeah.

It's not your fault, but you're not invited. Yeah, totally.
Yeah. Yeah, we'll all be trying to impress you while seeing it.
It won't be a good place to be on mushrooms, on heavy doses of mushrooms.

Have you had a trip where you're like, I'm going to kill myself?

No.

No, I've honestly never had a

what I read about as a bad trip.

Where you feel stuck? I've been with someone who has been on it, and that's a mess. What do you do?

I get to the point where I trust in my research

when I'm sober, which is that the mushroom will take care of you. It will.
It's going to be okay.

So at some point, I'm like, we got to let him go. We got to let him go on his own journey.
He's going to go. Will the acid take care of you?

Because I feel like mushrooms have taken care of me and acid hasn't. Yeah, I don't say that for acid.
Yeah, right? Yeah.

Because when I do mushrooms, one time I did mushrooms, slid down a waterfall naked, got leeches all over my asshole, and was laughing hysterically.

And I had my friend pull them off, but a part of me was like, I remember saying this out loud, being like, just let them,

they'll come off on the, let them eat some of me. I got plenty of blood to go around.
But on acid,

the clouds were shaping skulls. And then I would have a good thought and they'd turn into ballerinas.
And then I'd have a bad thought and they'd go back into skulls.

It was crazy. And my mind could like move everything.
Whereas mushrooms, I felt like were moving me. There's always those people here, like, what if your friend wasn't there? The naysayers.

Like, what if your friend wasn't there? Those leeches would have, could have... legitimately killed you.
No. They could have just kept sucking whatever.

I don't know, but they're going to have really damaged you. But your friend was there.
Right. They did get him off.
The mushrooms take care of you. They go, but what if your friend wasn't there?

Like, your friend's where? The mushrooms wouldn't let the mushroom take off. Also, the second I would have gotten a towel, I would have wiped my butt with it and got it.
You know what I mean?

Like, they would have come. They're lake leeches.
Yeah. Dude, I know a girl who in Australia tumbled down a hill like on a hike and they pulled huge, thick black leeches off of her entire body.

And then like a day later, she reached back and they missed one. And it was like a huge black leech on her.
Yeah.

Even those, I don't think they're that bad for you. Let them have the blood.
We give blood all the time to gay people.

What do you mean, when we tear their assholes open with butt fucking for AIDS and shit? Oh, yeah, don't we donate blood? Don't we give we give maids? Don't we need to give maids so they can take

maids, that's right, but we donate blood. I mean, the leeches can have some.
Sweet Fistus Farm is still used,

people still plan it. Yeah,

they also had a remember we went to a

no, I don't remember that,

yeah.

This whole lot, we all went on a trip to this

coffee plantation, and they were showing us that. Yeah, I had no idea it looked like that.
And it was like

you have to plant grenadino plants because that acts as another trellis, and they climb up that, and that somehow clears the soil. Like the one plant clears the soil.
Grenadinia plants.

Grenadinas are my favorite fruit.

Oh, they're food? Yeah.

Gran

my favorite fruit I had in Rome.

Oh, yeah, those are are so fucking good. And the flowers are like that.
They have them here.

You can get them here, yeah.

They're so good. They come sour there.

But they're good, too. I stayed in a place, like a place outside Keto, where the lady just had one in her yard.
It just kept falling. I would take them right off and give them so fucking good.

So good. Sometimes when I go to L.A., I'm like, what? You guys have

oranges just around? Oh, yeah. Duncan used to have a tangerine tree in his backyard.
It's crazy. Just go get one.
I'm like, what?

It's not fair. Yeah, Harlan's got one.
Why don't you go get one on your way up? We only live here because people have a high superior intellect. We need the rats.
High what? High superior intellect.

Intellect, class, style. Yeah.

Yeah. Relevance.
Yeah, relevance. Yeah.
The rats here are sick.

The ones that are above ground are fat and the one below ground are skinny. The rats are not great.
I love the rats. I used to be a landscaper here.

My whole half of my job was keeping rats out, and it was like truly impossible. Losing.
No way. You'll never lose it.
Yeah. And I was doing mesh.
I was like doing so much shit.

Oh, just to keep the rats out. And the real answer is, don't grow here.
Yeah. Don't grow anything here.
Yeah. There's not.

These rich people in Park Slope would be like, we want to, I mean, the amount of bone. We want a garden.
I would have to put in bone,

what is a fishbone meal? So ground up fish bone to leech out all of the

lead so they could grow it. And I'd be like, just go to fucking Whole Foods, you cucks.
Yeah. Who are you trying to impress here? They're friends.
It's crazy.

They're like, well, we want to be able to give it to our kids. I'm like, don't, dude.
Do you know how many homeless people have fucking shit right here? Oh, my God. Yeah.

All the ones in the parks here, we have to raise the ground because the soil is just deadly. Yeah.
So we have to do raised bed stuff. Right.

Yeah, totally. Off the actual ground.
We have to do totally off the ground. It's all toxic.
And all of Central Park and Prospect Park are all, it's all added in soil, I think, right?

Central Park seems like it was there. They just saved it.
Well, all those rocks were brought in. Those big boulders.
Yeah. What? The guy's a genius.
His name is Olmsted. He built both the parks.

He had crippling depression and was sick like every three months with depression.

And he built these two parks that ironically are like the one thing that keep people from killing themselves in New York. It really is.
It's so, I go every day to Prospect Park.

They want to get rid of it. It's like, no, no, no, we need it so bad.
That's one of those things where it's like, what's the benefit? It's like, I can't explain this to you in monetary. lines.

It has they want to get rid of it? They always want to get rid of it and encroach, encroach, build a little bit. We can make so much money if if we put housing there.

We can bring down the cost of housing all over. And it's like, no, we need it for our mental health.
He also made it illegal to put bullshit in it, like playgrounds and shit. Like to modify it hugely.

Yeah, he was the best. You need to keep it.
They tried to do this as a commodity park in Austin. They're like, let's change it.
We'll do underground parking. And there's a big revolt.

And then finally, the people won on that one. East River Park, they lost.
They did lose it? Yeah, there were all these protests.

Wait, East River Park, is that where all the homeless people are, though?

No, now there's like a bunch of and stuff because it's just empty. Thank you, fucking de Blasio.

Yeah, we always said, like, no, there's tons of trees. And they go, well, there might be another flood.
They go, the flood, the trees pulled the floodwater out in two days. Yeah.

After Sandy, it was the first thing back in business. Oh.

And they go, now we got to change. And it's like, no, you're just trying to divert funds there so you can take a kickback.
Totally. Carlina Rivera, all those people are just like crooked.

Fucking stealing funds for their own. They go, well, we'll try.
Listen, we should be able to change all this to fake soil.

cut the trees, we'll plant new trees. I'm like, there's like 1,500 trees in that.
Why cut the trees? What is that? How does that help anybody?

They're like, well, we got to raise the whole thing to be able to raise it up six feet and put fake soil and turf instead of actual grass. Why? Because they're dumb fucks.

Because they're, no, they're not dumb. They're crooked.
And then they made a stay of like, hey, actually, we got legal rights to make you stop doing this so we actually look into it more.

And then whoever the government was then just goes, start the bulldozers. Oh, my god, yeah, they go, fuck these people already with their protests.
Where was that? East River Park, thousands of acres.

Well, and this was for

allegedly for runoff or for yeah, and it's like

it was just so, it was just, it was such a clear fucking. And they go, we already have the funds.
If we do run out of funds, we do reserve the right to build either prisons or high-rises.

Oh, and you're like, so that means you're definitely going to be doing that, right?

That's crazy. It was like, I had a real, like,

a crisis of like, oh, democracy, even in the small level, doesn't work. The whole community came out and said, that park saved us during COVID.
It's not a playground. It's a massive park.
Yeah.

That's where the big, like, they used to do shows there at the outside thing. They had the dog Halloween contest there.
They had like

during the pandemic, we would baseball fields. Yeah.
Yeah. You'd go out there, the little clamshell thing.
Yeah, the table. They had barbecues there.
Everyone would run up and down, tennis courts.

Then they had an overgrown part. We could actually take take hikes and stuff went under the Brooklyn Bridge just kept going all the way down and around and up

yeah they just destroyed it all and they made it into just like a flat well they're like let's build it so it's like a three-year process of like no one having a park they do it in sections but it's like it was just so it's just so fucked I got really disappointed crazy that Central Park stays yeah it really is good because they can never do that now Yeah, if like a bunch of buildings were there and then collapsed, they go, hey, well, now that we don't have buildings, let's actually make it parkland.

You're out of your mind. Do people patrol it all the time? Patrol Central Park? Yeah.
It's safe. I know, but when I'm in there, I'm like, how is this perfect nook not a homeless man's thing?

There must just be people. I think they do.
I think the cops go in and take care of it. And like, guys, come on, come on, get out of here.
Because when I moved here, I was like, so dangerous, right?

And Yamonik was like, it ain't dangerous.

I mean, I've run Prospect Park at 2 a.m. Yeah.
It's crazy. It's crazy how safe the city is.
And then it's also crazy how outsiders talk about how dangerous it is. Yeah.
You know what's dangerous?

The only dangerous place I've been to, Bushwick,

which is like where

white open micers live yeah and it's dangerous because they do fucking

yeah they do like salvia and then punch you in the back of the head you know

oh my god is that bandit is a puppy yeah you got him as a little puppy yeah three months old oh my god that's him three months old i got him on a way to a wedding and i was like um

bandit was that's not her bandit was someone else adopt her

and i was like ah fuck i was at too long not waited too long but i couldn't get there mount Vernon. Snars, S-N-A-R-R-S.
And

another family got her. I was like, ah, fuck.
Okay. So I was like, okay, I was just looking for kind of the right size-ish dog.
Yeah. Female, so we didn't piss mark everything.
Yeah.

Bandits.

Hey, family came. The kids started sneezing like crazy.
They can't take him.

Oh my God, that's awesome. He's available if you want him.
And I was like, hey, she or he. I mean, gender is a construct, George.

You of all people should know that.

Fucking my dog. Try to fuck my dog.

That's in the Amazon. That's crazy.
That's crazy, like.

And I go, wait, I'm going to a wedding. I'm going up there.
Yeah.

Save. They're like, we'll save for three days.
Fine. We won't, we won't put it on the, we'll take it off the market.
Okay. And then I did.
I went there, saw Bandit, and I was like, I'm.

Yeah, I'm taking it. This is my dog now.
Yeah.

However, I think possibly the worst thing to do in in life is to bring a puppy to a wedding. Yeah, that's crazy.
It's such a diversion of attention away from the bride. Yeah.

That it's like actually kind of evil. Yeah.
So I was like, can you keep this dog for three more days till I get done and come back? And they go, yeah. Okay, good.

And on the way down, I got him, picked him up, and drove. And then, let's get poop in my apartment.
Yeah.

Everywhere. You got her.
She shit everywhere.

I got her at six weeks. No.

And she ate everything and she shit everywhere and she had diarrhea every other fucking day. Diarrhea every day.
And she bit me all over.

Yeah. And she had the puppy teeth.
Yeah, so sharp. They're crazy.
They're razor blades. Here's what I ask people before we end this.

First of all, again, everybody, go watch Jordan's special on Netflix right now. Yeah.
Called Baby Mama Trouble. That's it? What is it? Black Baby Mama.
Black Baby Mama. Not trouble.

You took the trouble out. Equality.
It's called Take Me With You. It's on Netflix.
Please watch it. Yeah, watch it.
There's no comments to leave. So just watch it and enjoy.

There's no more calls to action after. Just like watch it.
I guess tell friends if you liked it. I should find the Jesus guy and take him down.

He's probably dead. When was this? How long ago was it? What? This was 20...
What did I say?

How old were you? When you were 20. Yeah.
How old do you know? 33? Yeah, it's 12 years ago, 13 years ago. He's not dead.
He's thriving. Could be on a subway selling candy.
Oh.

Those are all Ecuadorians selling gum. Oh, is that what that is? I always buy from them.
That makes sense. Yeah, like that's the Ecuadorian racket.
I like that they're selling stuff. Yeah.
Yeah.

Yeah, I'll take gum. $2? Sure.
I was going to pay $1.50 anyway. Yeah, sure.
You're Ecuadorian. Yeah.
Welcome to the country. And sometimes I'll ask them, like, what city are you from?

They tell me, I'm like, I've been there. How many languages do you speak? One, English, the only language.
You can speak Spanish? A little. I can.
I'm okay. But I'm not great.

Okay, here's what I asked people on the way out of here. One travel tip of any kind, general or specific.
So from Mexico City, I just did one with Norman.

Get one taco and move, one taco and move. Don't get multiple tacos from the same place.
You'll fill up. You'll ruin the chance to get more tacos, more taco trucks.
Other ones are packed light.

That's a general one.

So some travel tip, and also give me a country that is calling you that you want to go to.

It's on your mind. It doesn't have to be the only one, but like just one of them.
They're like, I really want to go there.

Do you have any place place like that yeah um i just am going there okay one that i'm not going to no if you're going that fine too you're planning you know what what where i really want to go is everybody wants to go here i do want to go to japan but i also want to go to um

abu dhabi Really? Yes, because Tom Segora said that they're all gay and they hold each other's hands and they do gay shit, but they're like, being gay is not okay. But they like make out as men.

They make out? They like kissing stuff. And you want to go to see the men kissing

with their fucking. I think Abu Dhabi is the most bizarre.
I really want to go to Japan. I want to go to Ireland.

I want to go to all the beautiful places, but I think Abu Dhabi is going to be scary and freaky in like a Vegas-y type way. And I do want to see it.

Vegas is kind of scary too. I fucking hate Vegas.
Me too.

That's my travel tip. Never go to Vegas if you go to Vegas.
I think Vegas should be blown up with all the people in it. That's not a bad travel tip.
Yeah. Never go to Vegas.
Never go to Vegas.

No matter what you're planning, don't go to Vegas. It's disgusting.
It's awful. People pushing strollers in a smoke-filled room at 3 a.m.
You can't escape either.

It's all, you can hardly get off of the trail that leads you through another casino to the back of the Fremont's. People are like, Fremont's good.

I'm like, Fremont has a literal fake ceiling that's projecting digital. So you're like always just barraged with images.

It needs to be removed. It needs to be eliminated off the planet.
Yeah.

It's awful. It's a bad reflection of American culture.
Yeah.

You can't do comedy there. Every single person's from a different place.
You can't relate on any level. No, you really can't.
It's just about how did we do with the slots today? That's all the job.

Yeah, the only thing I talk about is how much I hate Vegas. Yeah, and people are like, we get it.
We're also here right now. Yeah.
It's fat people hooked up to gas machines.

But Abu Dhabi, I think, is like if Vegas were like

successful. I did an episode on Abu Dhabi

on UAE anyway. With Tucker Carlson, sitting right where you are, pet and bandit all the time.
Big dog lover. Wow.
He was just trying to sell me on it. I was like, don't they have like slavery?

He goes, that is, yeah, that is a negative for sure. They do have a pretty high version of slavery there.
I think it might be, I think it might be crazy cool. Like, if I could teleport there, I would.

But I am going to Ireland, Scotland, Italy, France. You got a tour set up.
October. I got a tour set up.
France? You're playing in France? Yeah. Paris.
Paris.

Where else you got? Oslo. Ooh, yeah.

Amsterdam. Okay.
Amsterdam is the number one,

probably number one comedy city in Europe. London.
Outside of UK. Dublin, Berlin, Stockholm.

Stockholm. Yeah.

That's okay. That's an okay town.
No, Stockholm's okay. Paris.
Pretty people.

You're going to Berlin? Yeah.

You're not sober, are you?

You are sober. From alcohol or from everything?

Everything except for mushrooms. But I don't think mushrooms are a drug.

All right. Well, maybe you'll still enjoy Berlin.
What do I what would I do? What would you Molly? I'll do Molly. Yeah, for sure.
The problem is, Molly is, Molly, I'm for. I just am on Prozac.

So it is. When you're on Prozac, it's harder to do Molly.
So I'd have to, like, not take Prozac for a couple days and then do the Molly. It's trouble.
But I love Molly. What about ketamine?

I've never tried ketamine. Can you do that on Prozac? I can do whatever I want.
Do you have to go off Prozac to do that? No, no, no, no. I don't think so.
It's ayahuasca

interferes with Prozac and Molly. I'm not sure ketamine does.
But ketamine, I don't like. Prozac interferes with ayahuasca.
Yeah. Not the other way.
Ayahuasca doesn't stop your Prozac from working.

Ayahuasca? It's something about it doesn't work. Like the drug just doesn't work because my serotonin receptors.
I have done Mali on Prozac, though, and it has worked.

Yeah, do Molly at a fucking club in Berlin. There's like 20 of them.
Get it to any of the other clubs. You don't have to go to the nicest one or the coolest one or the most famous one.

Almost any of them. Find drugs in the bathroom.
Not on the floor. I mean, go to the bathroom and kind of look around and somebody will look at you and you're like,

and they'll be like, do you need anything? It won't even be like, come with me. It'll just be like, do you need anything? It'll just be out in the open.
Yeah. But

I can go to clubs and dance with no drugs because how many drugs have done and do that too. It's so fun.
Yeah. Yeah.
Tap back into it. Yeah.
Yeah. That's the best too.

I'm like, I can achieve mushrooms if I really concentrate on it. So much.
I've done so much Molly and Gone dancing that I'm like, I know the feeling.

And it is just, you have to be grateful for humanity and not afraid. Yeah.
So you're going. Dublin, London, Berlin, Paris, Amsterdam, forget where.
Stockholm. Copenhagen.
Stockholm, nice.

No, they wanted to add Copenhagen, but I said no.

Italy? Where are you playing in Italy? No, we're not going to Italy. Are we going to Italy?

Well, that's a good trip. Yeah.
You already got it all planned? Yeah. Do you have days off?

We have a couple days off here and there. The question is, do I fly everywhere? Do we rent a car and go everywhere? Anytime you can take a train, take a train.
Okay.

If it's within like a five-hour train, it's so much easier than going to the airport, leaving two hours before your flight, flying one hour, then landing at the airport, then 30 minutes into town.

Yeah. Just take the train.
You can sleep on the train. You don't have to get there hours early.
So you just go and it's beautiful outside. You just, and you walk up and down.

But there's some places you can't take the train. Some places like, no, that'd be 12 hours.
Oh, okay. We're not doing that.
But five hours are under, some of them are like two hours, three hours.

If you're going from like Paris to Belgium, train. You know, I mean, I don't know what else, where are you?

Oslo and maybe Oslo and Stockholm. Maybe.

Anyway, but look for trains. If not, flights.
Okay.

But,

well, you already got the whole thing planned, huh?

Like, when the dates are? Yeah. Yeah.

Okay. Well, then, my advice is

for the next one,

do research for this one. Yeah.
And for the next one, since it's Europe and the money's not that good anyway. Bad.
Yeah.

Take dates off.

So what you want to do is thursday friday saturday maybe thursday friday saturday sunday but really thursday friday saturday shows or friday saturday sunday shows let's say it's thursday friday saturday now you have sunday monday tuesday wednesday off so you either stay in that town for four days longer

around or go to the next town early or a mixture of the let me stay here for two days actually i'm getting bored here let me go let me head off early or go somewhere in between okay i've never seen rotterdam i'm done with paris already i'm gonna go to amsterdam let me stop in rotterdam for a night or two on the way that's a train Amsterdam but from Paris to Amsterdam is definitely a train

and you just have like time off to do shit because you know when you got to do stand-up you're like you have to be somewhere at a certain time and the days off that's when you really want to milk those yeah I think we did a few days in Ireland and a few days in Berlin oh that's the city to do the few that's what I wanted to see and I love Ireland yeah great

and then when you're done don't come back right away stay three four days yeah right right right and my agent kept trying to like add shows and I was like just don't. You got to check them.
Yeah.

You got to check them. They keep trying to be who they are.
It's crazy. Scorpion and the frog.
Scorpion and the frog. They can't help it.
They're like, Do you want to?

You have five minutes in this place. Do you want to do a show? I'm like, no.
That's their job to bring you stuff. And you got to like,

yeah, you're going to have to, you're going to eventually lose the battle a bunch until you get so mad. You're like, I can't do that anymore.
You're fucking me over. They're going to winehouse you.

And you got to stop them from eating that. They're trying to winehouse me.
Yeah. They're trying to winehouse me.
And I'm writing songs saying I'm trying to, I broke out of rehab or whatever. Yeah.

Okay, cool. Thank you.
Yeah, you're welcome. Thank you.
Congratulations on the special. I was legitimately there

for the second show, and it was Crusher. Thanks.
Yeah, like you really crushed. So watch it.
I was in there the whole time.

There was a couple drunks that Allie was like, okay, can I talk to you outside? Yeah, people get fucked up. You can't come back in.
Yeah.

I was like, let's talk outside. And like, no.
And then. It's so crazy.
I had a heckler during the whole first show. Oh, really? I'm a positive heckler, which is the worst.

I know, because you can't tell them, like, you need to shut the fuck up because everyone will turn on you. But you need a door guy to be like, hey, can I understand what this is?

Can you kind of talk to you outside? Yeah, it was crazy. I mean, people kept being like, I guess I'll do something about it.
And then they'd back off because it would stop, but it just kept going on.

It was crazy. But the second show was great.
Yeah.

Coyote. All right.
Coyote was there. I saw her there.
Oh, yo, oh my god.

That's the episode, everybody. I hope you enjoyed it.
Thank you very much, Jordan Jensen, for coming in and telling us about your slave labor in Ecuador.

You had to work like an actual human for one day in your fucking white life, and you couldn't stop complaining about it. You said there must have been a conspiracy theory because why?

White people don't do manual labor.

He must be up to something. Maybe he was, honestly.
And maybe you're just mad that you didn't have sex with that guy, Jordan. Maybe you are.
I don't know. No one will ever know.

What we do know is you got a great special right now on Netflix called Take Me With You. Guys, go on Netflix.
You can't leave a comment on there.

But if you found out about it and liked it, reach out to Jordan on Instagram at

JordanJensen L O L Stop.

And tell her that you got there and watched the special because of this.

episode of you be tripping she'll be very happy to hear it she likes compliments she is always very insecure and she's ready to kill herself at any moment.

So a little bit of compliment going, hey, I actually really liked your special. I found it from Ubi Trippin and your appearance on there.

And I liked it. Reach out.
I don't know.

Today's episode is produced by the Your Mom's House Network, always producing high-quality stuff once in a very long while for comedians.

They got great stuff, and they have made my show better than it ever could be. It's edited by Alan Caffey, one of the best editors in the tri-state area.
This podcast was fun.

It did bring me back to Ecuador and to that enter that lake.

It's pretty fucking wild. It's like that hike that he's talking about, like the Machu Picchu hike or something like that.
So the hike to this lake.

I mean, I guess I got to talk about it on a different podcast once fully, but it's crazy. I went there with Bandit.
I guess we showed it on there.

It's like a three or four day hike together. You stay in these little

cabins, sort of, these hiker cabins along the way same thing they have in austria it's pretty

ah you ever think about a place and as you're talking about just go like i miss it they have these little heating fires in each house and they get a starter for you it's so cold at night it gets so hot during the day and then it would rain and you'd just be soaked to the bone what a fun trip that's the cool thing about trips too and for the worst parts of it where you're just like i'm so fucking over it i'm soaked it's raining i'm cold i want to go home all those will eventually turn into positive memories where you're like, remember that time we were soaked to the bone and we couldn't find our place?

It just, all the pain goes away and all the memory subsides every time, even if someone was killed in front of you.

That's what I love about America. Like, well, sometimes it's not great.

I'm doing it right now.

That's it, everybody. That's the episode.
Next week, Dan Soder is on to talk about

Sweden.

That'll be a good one. And that's it.
Find my stuff online. You can find UBI Tripping shirts and whatever, stickers, all sorts of stuff.

Damn, I love this design.

So fucking cool. Shroom Fest shirts.
Oh, Shroom Fest. How was your Shroom Fest? Did you get high? Did you take mushrooms? I know I did.
I took them somewhere in the world.

Yeah.

Yeah. in some forest or maybe near a temple.
I don't know.

I'm recording this before, I'll be honest with you. But I did it somewhere fun.
I hope you did too. Hope you enjoyed your shroomfest

next year. I don't know when it's going to be.
I got to look it up. But you can still get a shroomfest shirt if you want at rhsafir.com.
It's also available right there.

If you celebrate it, why not commemorate it with a nice shroomfest shirt? I don't make any money off it, so just enjoy it. Have a good time.

Bye, everybody. Until next week, Asa Luego.
