A very smart cookie.
And now Lauren Everts and Michael Bostic are bringing you along for the ride.
Get ready for some major realness.
Welcome to The Skinny Confidential, him and her.
Remember Michael Richards? But he came to the comedy store
before all that stuff happened. And it was like, oh shit, it's fucking Kramer. But then he hadn't
been on stage in like five years. So we're like, oh my God. And then it's like, you know, you can't
be good if you haven't been on stage for five years. So then like he goes on and it's like,
oh right. You're not, not an everyday comic. And we're all just like, anyway, let's get back to
our conversations. Hello everybody. Welcome back to the Skinny Confidential, him and her show. Today,
we're sitting down with Ari Shafir. He is a comedian, actor, podcaster, writer,
and producer who is best known for his standup comedy and his most recent special Jew,
which has garnered almost 6 million views and was written up in the New York Times as one of
the best comedy specials of the year. This episode is a comedy-focused episode, something to take you out of your week,
help you relax, help you laugh a little bit, not take everything so seriously.
We had a ton of fun with Ari.
With that, Ari, welcome to Skinny Confidential, him and her show.
This is the Skinny Confidential, him and her.
Who's the most funny?
Comic to hang out with?
Yeah.
It's the low-level comics, the drunks.
They're the most fun.
Huh.
Because nobody knows them, so they can get real loose-lipped.
So when you get too big, is it hard?
Yeah, then people are looking at you.
Call him Tyrell.
This comic, we call him Collie Cocktails when he gets, like, Irish'd up.
And yeah, he'll get to where, like, dude, she's got to lower your voice.
You're going to get us thrown out of here. Have always been funny like when you were little yeah i guess so always yeah yeah
class clown stuff always it's like is that like how you got attention when you were little
i there was a there okay so the the laws in maryland i grew up or you can't try a child as
an adult and there was a multiple I guess
you'd call it murder but I saw therapy after that and so it wasn't always but after these three or
four kids died I think the fourth died too then it became like then I got my sense of humor as a
self-defense mechanism but that was like 12 or 13 wait wait are you being serious there were murders
in your town me but it was like an old me I saw therapy for this god no i'm not being serious wait wait
this isn't on my notes okay someone didn't do their research are your parents funny um no
really horribly unfunny my brother is that's about it do they think you're funny yeah they do
they don't get it though they're just, it's nice and people are laughing at them.
So what was your childhood like?
I just had a fun time.
I don't know.
Parents stuck together.
Most comics are like pretty, pretty fucked up.
Childhood was.
Yeah, everything was pretty nice.
What about you guys?
Honestly, pretty nice.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's almost like embarrassing, right?
Yeah, it's so weird.
Like your parents are still together.
I wish I had a better story.
I think my parents just celebrated their 40th anniversary happy anniversary mom and dad
happy anniversary mom and dad like you wish you had more trauma to like yeah to draw from it would
be really nice you got a couple beatings or something a horse that got too like you know
loose in the household something you know just some color to the child something yeah exactly
so you don't have yeah if my dad was in the Klan, it would have been fucking awesome.
I thought I'd cut them out.
But really, no.
Just a really normal childhood.
Yeah.
So at what point do you decide?
They paid for college.
When do you decide you want to make a career out of this?
After college, the jobs seem really bleak.
Sitting under, well, yeah, different lights than this.
Like DMV lights. Yeah, DMV lights. And when you're going. It seems so horrific. It is. under uh well yeah different lights in this you know what you know like dmv lights yeah dmv lights
and and when you're going it seems so horrific it is just sit there just uh yeah i go visit my
friends my friends work uh had a conference at price waterhouse cooper's library whatever okay
i don't know and she was like come upstairs we got free lunch and i'm in there i'm just like
start hyperventilating i was like i gotta get the fuck out of here these are all like normcore people is it weird like i always think about what i wish that i
was funny i would like i look at people like you and i'm like oh you can just go up there and make
all these people but then i but i also feel like it must be so rad to have the group of guys where
you can just like laugh and say whatever the fuck you want whenever you want and nobody's overly
sensitive and it's just i have barbecues and i have it's a comics only barbecue and people like well bring my wife
you're like no you can't what if the wife's funny only if she's a comic she has to be a comic to be
because we have to be able to say we want to say some stuff that we can only say
yeah maybe no maybe it's only the no no it's really only comics i've gotten to fight to my
friends like no you know my wife.
I'm like, it doesn't matter.
We got to be able to like really scream about the Holocaust.
Can Whitney come?
And have fun.
Whitney can come, for sure.
Whitney can come.
Yeah.
So it has to be a real...
But she can't bring her dumb kid.
No.
Yeah.
She's got to leave that thing at home.
Yeah.
So what's the barbecue like?
Barbecues are great.
But then it's like, I used to have a backyard where we had neighbors and they would get
like pretty pissed.
We just talk about dark stuff. Like it's like we used to i used to have a backyard where we had neighbors and they would get like pretty pissed we just talk about dark stuff like it's just like laughing dark yeah
laughing dark stuff but real dark so people are hearing a passing by and they're like you guys
can't be saying this out loud like if someone recorded it like would you get canceled yes every
one of us for sure yeah i think when the audience is like start a series of what barbecues yeah it
would not be natural.
But I feel like comedy's back now.
Comedy's so back.
People are now like,
we had a moment there.
We were talking about the,
the moment was maybe like right at the peak
was the Will Smith slap moment.
Yeah.
And then I think after that,
people were like,
okay, it needs to come back
because it got too serious.
It got so serious.
It's so much money's in comedy now.
So everyone got like real, real.
And then now it's like backwards.
People are like, oh, we know.
Gen Z is like crushing it.
They're like pushing away millennials.
What would their anger?
What would our audience be surprised to know about the behind the scenes at these comedy clubs like that?
We don't know.
It's so boring.
No.
Yeah.
Nothing's happening.
Every lady I've ever dated was like feels left out.
And then you're like, fine, come.
And then she's like, all you do is talk shit
about your comic friends.
And you're like, yeah, I know,
that's what we do all the time.
We just talk shit.
We just talk shit.
And we get super worked up about stuff that doesn't matter.
Like what?
Like super major fights about if the L
or if the F is a better way to get to a certain stop.
Or like which bars are better.
Or like, yeah, what's a better breakfast food?
But like angry fights.
Is there drugs and alcohol?
Oh, yeah.
Okay, but I always think about this like way more than I'd like to admit.
Yeah.
If I'm a comic and I have to go on stage, I would have one drink.
I feel like if I have more, I couldn't be funny.
Okay, let me ask you a question slash challenge.
Have you ever done this
show just completely fucked up this show yeah yeah there there's there's a couple there's a
there's a few that we've been fucked really not fucked up we're talking to i kind of feel like
i would have got more fucked up for you like i feel like we would have had like i should have
had like something here like drink for go out for drinks for like three hours and be like oh
fuck it your home's like let's stop by the studio first.
We've done that a couple times.
Yeah.
I mean, listen, it depends who you're talking to.
If you're having somebody that is a child psychologist on.
A Burt gave me that thing.
Zinn?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
That'll make you throw up. That was the first time.
Really?
Did you like it?
It's trash for trash people.
Oh, Burt.
Yeah.
It's trash.
Yeah, of course that's why you liked it.
Speak up from the garbage dump in the back.
Wait, so I don't understand, though, how you can get fucked up and go out on stage and really perform.
Oh, we fail a lot.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah, we get too fucked up.
It's bad.
I think you're thinking about when you see the special that you see on somewhere, you're not thinking about like the normal like yeah day-to-day it's 15
minute spots you're not really even on the lineup you're not really marketed much so they're not
coming to see you they're just coming out for a night out and then you go up and you're like
follow some killer young young comic and then you're like oh i just failed but it's like who
cares you don't care yeah but when you charge your money for your own tickets on the road or
something then it's like no don't get too fucked up what do you do if you have a
really funny joke and it doesn't land do you get embarrassed or do you not yeah no it never got
easier yeah it fucking sucks it's wild when you think about it for a professional comic it should
never happen that every one of the audience is there to laugh so much of the paid money to come
and laugh they're in the mood to laugh and then you
have some so anybody could just say a joke they'd be like oh sweet i'm in the mood to laugh obviously
i'm the right audience for this and then it's not just anybody it's a professional comic and it's a
professional comic who prepared something so it's the perfect storm of course it's going to be a
laugh every time and then you say a punch line it's just silence and you stare at you like what
was that the joke it's crazy when a bomb happens
It should never happen. It happens so much. What do you do now when it happens?
Call attention to it. Damn you guys that was really bad. Just so you know, there was a joke there
I guess none of you even recognized it. Does it still rattle you or no? No, not really. Yeah
I mean how long has been now 20 something years. Yes. Okay, so nothing you can say at this point
Nothing I've bombed in front of, like, chicks I wanted to fuck.
Like, where it's like, this will seal the deal.
And then it's sealed it the other way.
I don't know, though.
If I'm in the audience and I want to fuck the comic,
and he bombs, and he knows how to recover
and has finesse about it, I'm kind of turned on.
No, that's if he can recover.
You get a pity fuck.
Yeah.
Yeah, no, no. You don't want to fuck a failure yeah lauren no okay you'll see a failure and go like
i want that no way but if he's you'll completely shut up you'll she'll shut you'll dry like a
prune no i'm saying you'll seal back up you'll have no vagina that's what i'm saying for like
a day or two and then you're like oh I gotta get that
failure out of my head
and then he'll just
never take his phone calls again
what if there's a girl
that you wanted to
fuck in the audience
what do you do
like do you just say
this is not gonna work
I'm remembering a time
no it's just like
you just keep trying
it's like it's just over
then you just see them
they're just like
oh they get so fucking dry
you're just like
it's done
and you're like
what were we supposed
to hook up
we were gonna date
this is just a sealed
idea I didn't even do this do you're like, we were supposed to hook up. We were going to date. This is just a sealed deal.
I didn't even do this.
Do you have like a sick, like, kind of like,
I love it when your comic friend is on stage
and it happens to them?
Yeah, for sure.
For sure.
For sure.
Because we've also all been through it
so that it's also like, oh.
You can hear the laugh.
There's a special kind of laugh.
It's like, da-da-da, set up, set up, punchline.
And then there's a silence where it should be a laugh. The comic sees it. There is of laugh. It's like, set up, punchline. And then there's a silence where it
should be a laugh. The comic sees it.
There is no laugh. And then two comics in the back
just go, ha ha ha ha ha!
Because it's that perfect
storm. It's just two comics
laughing so hard at how uncomfortable it is.
Who's the biggest heckler out of all your friends?
We don't heckle each other. You don't?
No, no, no. We let them fail on their own.
That's like a no-no. Yeah
Yeah, but another time what do you do when there's a heckler? I just I mean I just get hard and try to like hide
It I don't know you just try to get them out of there. Sometimes you have fun with it
What's the word do you depends who they are what kind of mood you're in and if you're trying to do anything
It's so fun. You just like belittle them. It's fun. What's it?
Do you remember when like a moment when you bombed
and that one just stuck with you?
It's just like one you can never forget.
Like the one time.
Yeah, this one about this chick, Kim.
I'm remembering now.
Oh my God.
This is a real thing that happened.
Yeah, she's married with kids now.
It was around here.
It was near this neighborhood.
You turned her off so bad.
She ran and found someone to get married and have kids with.
Was her last name Kardashian?
It was Kim Kardashian.
Yeah.
I was a rebounder between Pete and
whatever she's at now.
She was going the comic route
for a minute.
She was?
Yeah.
She was going the lawyer route.
She couldn't decide.
Anything's possible.
Can we say
what a great job
Kanye did with her?
I think what it is
is like she had
all the pieces
but he came in
and edited it
and refined it.
But then I think to give her credit that then she took it and took it to
the next level.
Sure.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But he saw potential.
Did you ever see, um, it was, uh, who's the guy from the Neptunes, the producer from the
band, the Neptunes.
Taylor, look it up.
Pharrell.
Yeah.
And he's listening to Maggie Rogers or some, whatever.
And she's starting to sing.
It's like an audition for something.
And he's listening.
He's like, all right, this isn't bad.
And then it hits him like 30 seconds in.
He's like, oh, she's as good as me.
And then he's just like, keep playing this song.
Let me just enjoy this song.
You know?
But he was like, and then she excelled on her own.
But she was like a nobody.
So it's like giving Kanye.
That's Kanye and Kim.
She had a chance, but she was trash.
And he was like, there's gold under there.
Michael is kind of
someone who Kanye's me.
Are you calling yourself trash? No, I'm being honest.
I'm being self-aware. Who's Kanye's what? Michael
Kanye's me. He
got you on trashy?
He got you class? Trashy is not
the right word. I just think he
refined my style to be
the way.
What'd you get? What'd you way. What'd you get?
What'd you do?
What'd you see?
There was a lot of sweatpants there for a minute.
Yeah, a lot of sweatpants.
Yeah, it was a little bit,
we went through a sweatpants phase.
We went through a sweatpants phase.
That was okay for three weeks in COVID and then it's like, get yourself together.
It was like three years.
Oh, wow.
It was like a, yeah, it was,
and it was a double, it was like a full,
it was like a big loose sweat top,
low sweat bottom.
What is that?
I don't know.
Bad Bunny could pull it off and that's it.
Yeah, yeah.
I think I had just like a moment too long of that.
And he came in.
I think a lot of people are still in it.
And he edited it out.
It's like not trying is the style.
And people are eventually like, guys, guys.
But sometimes I look at some of these people.
I'm like, well, maybe you should try.
You should try.
Yeah, you should try.
You Kanye-ed her.
That's crazy.
Yeah, Michael's very particular with his taste.
He's a fourth Japanese.
He's very like organized and meticulous. He's a fourth Japanese. Nice. Who was the third? It's crazy. Yeah, Michael's very particular with his taste. He's a fourth Japanese. He's very organized and meticulous.
He's a fourth Japanese.
Nice.
Who was the third and second?
Yeah, I was the fourth one.
He came in and edited everything.
That's great.
Yeah.
You're the producer.
I'm particular.
He's particular.
Yeah.
I would have loved to have seen the before you.
There she is.
Oh, that is different.
It's different.
It's a different look.
It's like blonde, huge fake tits.
Really?
Yeah, really big ones.
We'll send you some shots later.
I'll send you a mirror selfie of me before.
I'm trying to look at it now.
Yeah, that is a different person.
It's a different thing.
I'm trying to imagine where I'd meet each of these two people.
It's totally different, right?
Different establishments you'd be in.
It's like one's kind of like,
maybe I'm like at a horror.
Yeah, yeah.
You know what I mean?
And now it's a little bit more elevated.
This is classy.
You meet that girl,
and they're like, where are we going now?
Like, we're not going out.
One of the weirdest interviews we've ever done
is we flew to the Bunny Ranch,
you know, the one out there in Reno.
And we did, we interviewed
some of the girls out there.
Okay.
And like that version was there. Yeah. That version was there was there and I was like should I stay here and work there
at the let me tell you something that place on a Wednesday in the middle of the day it's not
the daytime strip club vibes are like oh the c squad that's so mean well because people are
like waking up
from like, you know,
the night before.
It's like 1140 a.m.
in the morning.
We're there with like
our recording equipment.
Like, hey, we're here
for the interview.
It's not like,
I bet it's not the same
as like pulling in
at like 1030 p.m.
at night on a Saturday.
It's like if it was
The Tonight Show,
they'd be like,
bring out the best.
When you, when all this-
Nothing's worse
than going to the strip club
and going like,
this is it?
Or one of those like massage parlors like come on the massage parlors though are different because
i feel like it's it's like you don't really care who it is my friend just called it's funny to hear
him like he was like in the next few days he's going you could tell and he's like he would call
and go hey how many girls you have working today he knows the questions okay and then he called a
gay one by accident and they go, this is not the spot
you're looking for.
Call another one.
He was like,
oh, okay.
You know what the move is?
What?
It's to go into
like a foot spa
because you know
who came on here?
Laura Clary.
She's a comedian,
I think.
And she said that
she went to like
a massage parlor
and the girl
who was massaging her
gave her an orgasm.
From the feet? No. From, she was rubbing her vagina. And then when the girl who was massaging her gave her an orgasm. From both feet?
No.
She was rubbing her vagina.
And then when the girl looked away, she pushed her pussy down to where her foot was.
Yeah.
She was like, just keep doing it.
And then Laura went back the next day.
To get another one.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It became like a problem.
Then she had to remedy it.
Yeah.
He's like, what's the number?
Here's, by the way, for the listeners
at home, you want to know which ones do that? It's
anyone with a lock on their door.
No business locks their door.
The neon sign with the
heart with the hand and the rose.
Yeah. And there's like bars on the door.
I've never heard of a woman
going there. Good for Cleary. I go to a football all the
time. I don't, I've never had a happy
ending there. But you know, it's like a massage,
right? It's like a massage.
It is like a massage. Do your eyes close?
Does it count? I don't know. Yeah. You just say you
gotta rub the other toe, the camel toe.
Oh!
Nice. Well written. Well written.
When you... If it's old,
if there's someone disgusting, it doesn't count even as
cheating. If it's like, I wouldn't do this if I was single with this person,
then it's like, just go for it.
But you're still doing it, so it doesn't count.
Right.
Okay.
Taylor thinks so too.
When cancel culture was going on and there's all this cancel culture,
was it like playing laser tag as a comedian or did you not give a fuck?
I didn't, but I actually liked pushing for it.
What do you mean?
I liked seeing how close to the line you can get
and then going slightly over
and see how mad you can get people get
while other people are laughing.
It's fun.
Like what's going over the line during cancel culture?
Anything that people are like,
this is wrong.
It's just like sick.
Nice.
Do people in the audience?
If I have 300 people in an audience,
two have to walk out angry.
If you're going right.
Who walks out angry?
What do they look like?
Dorks.
They look a lot like you.
Really?
Yes.
It's women.
It's almost always drunk white women.
Almost always drunk white women.
Do they get dragged there by their boyfriend and then they're like, what is this?
A little bit, yeah.
Or they've also never been not the center of attention and they, most are cool.
First of all, I'm just saying, it's most of them are still cool. It's the ones that aren't. Or like, I don't like not being the center of attention and they most are cool first of all i'm just saying it's most
of them are still cool it's the ones that aren't or like i don't like not being the center of
attention fuck this i want my attention back and they just can't and they'll say something like i
don't agree with this like yeah i know i'm saying the opposite of how i feel it's hard not to be the
center of attention and then they're a little bit drunk they haven't seen one drink and two drinks
for these chicks it's fucking wild for men it's seven. You know, it's where we start to get,
oh, shit.
Women, it's like, I've had one.
I feel good.
Here, a sip of another one.
It's like, fuck everything.
Like, that line is so thin.
And then they're like, no, fuck this guy.
I think I should be invited to one of your sets.
To see if you can keep your mouth shut the whole time?
I won't.
I'll keep my mouth shut.
Okay.
I want to be in on the barbecue.
Okay.
I feel like I can hang.
Yeah.
It is fun when it happens.
Everybody else in the audience is like, this is fun.
They are a dork.
But some walk out angry.
Yeah.
And you just say, fuck it.
You don't care.
Well, what are you supposed to do?
I don't know.
It's like, I saw one time at the converse where this lady was like, it's like such a
variety of comics.
Sometimes really nice people.
I'm just a little darker.
So I'll say things and be like, I don't, I don't comics. Sometimes really nice people. I'm just a little darker.
So I'll say things to people like, I don't, I don't care for this.
And they shouldn't have seen me.
And this lady's just like, like this the whole time.
At the end of my set, I was like, hey, that's it for me.
Everyone clapped.
And it was like, can I just say, this lady, you hated me, right?
She goes, yeah, I fucking hated you.
And I was like, but you kept your mouth shut the whole time.
And I saw it and I got to commend you on that.
And I was like, everyone, give it up for this dumb fucking lady. And then she was like, all right, all right.
And she was like, she did it right.
She just stayed mad and quietly.
But they want the acknowledgement, it sounds like, because it reminds me of a troll on Instagram.
What I've realized is that all the troll wants is attention and acknowledgement.
They feed, their oxygen for their fire is just some attention.
So when you give them attention, they actually end up apologizing and coming back around.
Yeah, they're fans.
So they'll be like,
they'll be like,
ew, you look so ugly here.
And I'll write back something
just super neutral.
And then they'll write back,
oh my God, I'm so sorry.
I love you so much.
And you're like,
what's happening?
They just want acknowledgement.
You know what you should say too?
What's fun sometimes is to go,
is when someone's like,
you fucking suck.
This show sucks now.
Whatever they say, just go like, oh my God, god you're obsessed with me and then they can't really say anything else because they are i mean we do this a long time and it's always funny
i love this show but now this i'm like what are you doing on fucking what do you do apple review
podcast on a tuesday get the fuck out of there what a dork like what do you do when you get
comments on your instagram that you don't like you just don't care it's fine it doesn't matter it doesn't bother you no it's funny it's
funny that's what half of them are trolls and i also am a troll i love trolling oh you do so it's
just like you'll go to a website of something you've never heard of and you're like let me just
get in there start some shit like it'll just be a random like you know on the side of your youtube
it'll suggest stuff i'm like i don't know what that is and you go in there and like just pick
a fight with someone in the comments and be like this show sucks now something like that or like
you don't know shit just disagree with them on some fact and like you're an idiot i'm like i'm
an executive chef and i've told you before a fact this and yeah yeah it's fun to start an argument
then just leave so may burt came on the show and said he has tons of trolls and he used to read it
so maybe half of those accounts were you i don't what a reveal that would be dude i was drunk once and i was stenciling uh around new york
we were just like graffiting and uh and then i came across like some late some sort of hated
lady in comedies like um kind of broadway show and we're like oh we gotta stencil this
and so yeah just like graffitied over it but But it was like, if I get caught here, I'm going to be in more trouble than if I just get caught normal.
So I didn't.
So I was fine.
You kind of trolled through graffiti.
Yeah, it would have been great to get Bert off Instagram by himself.
He's great on Instagram.
Yeah, I mean off reading the comments.
The one where he went into surgery to pitch his tickets.
Did you see that? No. He's going's going into all he does is fucking promote this idiot you try to have a quiet moment with him
and he's like let's film it well him and i sunned our buttholes together kind of what do you mean
so when you sun your butthole wait back up oh son son son what do you mean you do it together he
sent us a picture of his wide asshole,
like just legs up in our group thread,
like the moment, the day we met him.
Yeah.
So you like sun your asshole
and then you're like saying like,
you ever know about Fievel?
Fievel Goes West?
Yeah, I love that movie.
He's like somewhere,
they're both wishing on the same moon
and you're singing that song to the sun
that's sunning your assholes.
Fievel Goes West is a great reference.
Many listeners won't have any fucking idea what we're talking about with that reference sunning your butthole
is really good for stay with me you're trying to get to know who you are your butthole doesn't get
any sun that's true okay so if you sun your butthole and the thing what's the gooch area
yeah it's burn instantly though sorry go ahead no it's not it's really energizing no no but it's
gotten no sun yeah you can't just suddenly like anne frank that when she left that day she was
like i'm gonna burn you know she a little did she know you know what
works it works no but you know what don't you have to start that with like a minute
and then be like, okay, that's good for today.
And then the next day, like two minutes.
Work yourself up to it.
Like you got to get a boss-based tan every year.
You can't just go straight to,
I'm going outside with my shirt off.
You have to have a big yard
with a lot of land and privacy to be doing that.
Yeah, that's true too.
If you're in LA or New York and you're doing that,
like you're going to jail.
I don't, I-
Jerry Sandusky tried it and it didn't work.
Yeah.
He was right next to a school
and he got in a lot of trouble.
Misunderstood.
He could have just said he was sunning his butthole.
Could have just said that.
Yeah, that's a good excuse.
Yeah, like if Bert's over there in the valley doing that in a neighborhood, he's done.
Yeah.
Also, he takes up the whole yard.
So if he had a yard that was big enough, it wouldn't be.
He was with his butthole spread, hands out, boots hanging.
Is it hairy?
I kind of want to see it.
I kind of don't, but I want to see it.
It's like you can't look away.
I just think if you're feeling tired,
go outside and open them up.
Let me see. What did he do?
He had the decency to graffiti over it.
Yeah, he shouldn't have blocked it out.
Let me see this.
I love whoever
his employee is that had to like
There's a shadow right there.
The guy who had to take the picture.
It was like, why is this my job?
You said fun content.
You didn't say this.
Okay, tell us who you think the funniest of your friends is out of all of them.
Oh my God.
Who's the funniest?
Yeah.
Just around?
I'm going to ask you for funniest and least.
Who makes you laugh the most? You're not going to get that out of me. Who makes me laugh the funniest? Yeah. Just around? I'm going to ask you for funniest and least. Who makes you laugh the most?
You're not going to get that out of me.
Who makes me laugh the most?
Oh, okay, okay, okay, okay.
On stage, it's Dave Attell.
Everyone says that.
What?
Everyone says that.
Because he's the best one.
Okay.
And then just like offstage,
God, there's so many fucking fun people to have around.
Norman makes me laugh,
and Shane,
and Rogan,
Tony.
Yeah, we'll just like hang out. The hangout ones. The ones you can get drunk with. on people to have our own. Norman makes me laugh and Shane and Rogan, Tony.
Yeah,
we'll just like hang out.
The hangout ones,
the ones you can get drunk with.
List makes me laugh a lot.
Who's not funny?
You haven't mentioned some. Who's not funny?
Yeah.
Everybody's funny in comedy.
Everyone?
Yeah,
nobody's serious.
We're all fucking,
except for the bad ones
who shouldn't be in
in the first place.
What if someone's not funny?
Do they get iced out?
Yeah.
Yeah,
remember Michael Richards?
So he came, what? You don't know Michael Richards?ard yes you do kramer from kramer okay okay yeah he came and good on him you know whatever but he came to the comedy store before all that stuff happened
and it was like oh shit it's fucking kramer but then he hadn't been on stage in like five years
so we're like oh my god and then it's like you know you can't be good if you haven't been on
stage for five years so then like he goes on it's like, you know, you can't be good if you haven't been on stage for five years. So then like he goes on and it's like, oh right.
You're not an everyday comic.
And we're all just like, ugh, anyway,
let's get back to our conversations.
We have no time for it.
It's just like not funny.
When you are performing, is it like a muscle?
It sounds like you have to get on stage all the time.
It was weird.
After COVID, you see people coming back
after like a few months off and they're like holding the mic. where do you even put this like hey like you didn't know how
to pause and stuff it was like a week to get back into it it was pretty pretty wild and you see like
one at a time people came out of covid so you'd be like what's wrong with you like oh this is your
first week back you've been in lockdown so you have to put yourself out there constantly to keep it going. Yeah, and it's fun.
So you do it anyway.
But yeah, yeah, yeah.
You stay sharp.
Did they shut down the comedy store
the whole COVID?
I think so.
I was in New York
and we all moved
to rooftops pretty fast.
Because Austin
stayed pretty wide open, yeah?
Austin stayed wide open.
You could do anything,
smoke weed publicly.
I think so. I wasn't... wasn't yeah no i think everything's
shut down i don't remember because we were talking before we came here like a lot of people out in
austin right now and i feel like it was like when everyone shut down a lot of the comedians were
part of that like because people could go there and have a good time well the cool thing was the
young new york comics was like they took charge all like the younger comics was like we'll build
a room because they had to go on stage every night like every night every night and they were like we can't not so they found rooftops they found
backyards they found illegal shit and they just made it happen chapelle did a whole thing about
how he was saving comedy by building this outdoor place and everyone in york was like we've been
doing that for like day two we shut down for one day and then we're like, let's go. Quick break to talk about AG1. AG1 is a foundational
nutritional supplement that delivers daily nutrients and gut health support. It is backed
by multiple research studies so you can trust what you're putting in your body. Lauren and I
recently just went on a summer vacation, take a little bit of time off. And one of the things that
we absolutely could not travel without is AG1. I trust AG1 because unlike many products, their entire formula is backed by research
studies, not just the ingredients.
There's over 14 years where AG1 has been focused on innovation with a trusted nutrient
dense blend.
That's the perfect complement to my healthy diet.
I sweat the details, but with AG1, I can trust their research and how they're validating
their product by working in the body.
Like I said, every single morning I wake up, I have a huge glass of water. I take one scoop of AG1 and I
drink it down. What I've noticed is more energy, more focus. The under eye circles have gone away
from my eyes. And like I said, it forces me to have that huge glass of water in the morning,
which hydrates me as well. For those of you that are still skeptical, AG1 has been third-party
tested for safety for years and is trusted by experts and medical professionals, giving you one less thing to research. And in a 30-day study, 80% of the
people in the research study noticed less gas and bloating, and 97% of the people in the research
study felt more energy. So like I said, if there's one product I trust to support my whole body
health, it's AG1, and that's why I've partnered with them for so long. It's easy and satisfying
to start your journey with AG1.
Try AG1 and get a free one-year supply of vitamin D3, K2, and five free AG1 travel packs

Quick break to talk about eight sleep.
We talk about so many supplements and nutrients and health practices and workout routines
on this show, but we all know if there's one thing that impacts our hormones, our health,
our wellbeing, our mental wellbeing, the most that is better sleep, which is why we love
the eight sleep so much.
At this point, I'm sure you've heard of eight sleep.
Their buzzworthy sleep technology called the pod can be added to your existing mattress
like a fitted sheet to automatically cool down or warm up each side of your bed and in turn improve your sleep
quality dramatically. Lauren and I have been using the Eight Sleep for the last few months now,
and it is an absolute game changer. Don't just take it from us. Athletes, business titans,
and celebrities all swear by the pod, and so do we. And today I want to share some exciting news
because the pod just got an upgrade. Eight Sleep has launched their newest generation of the pod, the Pod 4 Ultra.
It cools, it heats, and now it elevates automatically.
It is also clinically proven to give you up to one hour more of quality sleep every single
night.
And the Pod 4 Ultra can also cool each side of the bed down to 20 degrees Fahrenheit below
room temperature, keeping you and your partner cool even in a heat wave like we're having
here in Texas.
There's just nothing else like it on the market. It's easy to add to any bed. Like I said, it just fits on like a fitted sheet and then cools you down. Dropping your
temperature low as you start to sleep is going to induce a deeper, more restful sleep. So try it
out. We have an incredible offer just for our listeners. Head to 8sleep.com slash skinny and
use code skinny to get $350 off the Pod 4 Ultra.
Currently ships to the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Europe, and Australia. Again,
that's $350 off the Pod 4 Ultra at 8sleep.com slash skinny and then use code skinny.
I am all about breathable, natural, long-lasting cotton. So we're teaming up with cotton, the fabric of our lives.
I am really trying to be so intentional and mindful about what I'm wearing when I'm home,
relaxing with my kids, being present.
So when cotton reached out, I was so excited.
I'm sure all you guys know that going natural with cotton is the move.
Cotton comes from the earth, unlike synthetic and
man-made fibers. I am trying to be more mindful and present in every area of my life. I want to
stay grounded, especially when I'm home. You guys all know cotton. Who doesn't like cotton? It's
breathable, natural, long-lasting cotton. It's amazing. And cotton is natural. Cotton comes from
the earth. So there's a lot of synthetic and man-made
fibers out there in our clothes. I actually just learned, and I had no idea about this,
that polyester is made from crude oil. That is the same oil that's used to make fuel for cars,
which is wild. I also didn't know that every time we wash synthetic fabrics like polyester clothing, we're contributing
to microplastics in our waterways. Cotton has really taught me a lot about synthetic fabrics,
and I'm trying to learn more and more. I'm trying to even carry like cotton totes to the farmer's
market. I don't want to use a lot of plastic bags. I'm just doing anything that I can do and basically
my part.
So remember to check the label for cotton and take a deep breath and focus on the present.
Cotton is the fabric of now.
Learn more at thefabricofourlives.com. There's never going to be a time I won't say yes to that. But you can't say that. You can't say a funny story. It's a funny story. She comes to me.
She's like, hey.
Yeah.
She goes, for your birthday, I got you tickets.
We're going to go see a comedy show.
I was like, oh, fuck yeah.
It was kind of mid-COVID time, but it was in Vegas.
What a girl.
And she's like, yeah.
It's like an intimate room with Chappelle and Rogan.
And I was like, what?
What?
I was like, whoa.
I'm like, that's pretty fucking sick, right?
Yeah. She's like, yeah, we're going to go. And it's like a small group of people. And we're going to watch them. I'm like, dude, was like whoa I'm like that's pretty fucking sick right yeah she's like yeah we're gonna go and it's like it's like a very it's like a small group of people and we're
gonna watch them I'm like dude this is sick right yeah she takes me to the fucking MGM arena
and I'm in the nosebleeds like we're the nosebleeds yeah and he got COVID
worth it worth it it was worth it even in those days when it was like it might be death and
Segura opened for him as a surprise and it was a those days When it was like It might be death And Segura opened for him
As a surprise
And it was a great show
But I was like
I'm like Lauren
The idea of like
An intimate
Like I'm in a room
I was picturing
Like a smoky comedy room
Dude it's so funny
Coming out of that thing
And you see people like
Uh wait I need a minute
I need a minute
To like reacclimate
To like people
And by the way
I walked into that arena
And I was like
At this Rogan Chappelle show
We are for sure
Getting covered
Wait Ari
Can I tell you
What I thought in my head
It was gonna be Because I have a big imagination I thought in my head it was going to be?
Because I have a big imagination.
I thought that the room would be about this big.
I thought Rogan would be sitting over there passing me a blunt,
and we would be smoking it together, drinking some beers together.
And you show up, who the fuck are all these other VIPs?
There's 20,000 of them.
No, I told her, we're in the MGM.
The way I imagined it, it's like the filter on Instagram.
If you're on Tinder,
you see a filter
and then you see it in person.
It was just like
completely different.
But here's the thing,
it was an amazing show,
but I would prefer to see comedy
in a smaller...
A million percent.
You wouldn't?
Yeah, 120 seater.
It would be so fucking cool.
I'm up there
and the beer cart person's
walking around, you know? Yeah, it's so removed. I've seen a few shows like that. It would be so fucking cool. I'm up there and the beer cart person's like walking around, you know?
Yeah.
It's so removed.
I've seen a few shows like that.
It's like, it's not my thing.
What do you think about them having you put your phone in a bag?
That's intriguing to me.
Yeah.
I think what they should do one day, hopefully they'll do this.
So you put your phone in your bag and then like break your phone.
They just break everyone's phone.
Why? Just so everyone has to be off their phone for the whole fucking day. your phone in your bag and then like break your phone they just break everyone's phone why just
so everyone has to be off their phone for the whole fucking day because you guys don't like
when you're on stage and people on the phone not just that yeah yeah it's like you missed forget
the like filming you i'm gonna put this out i told you we say dark shit so at clubs it's like
hey we can get away with everyone's kind of signed up for it yeah you know except for that lady that
lady's not signed up for it but she wanted that lady's kind of fun she's in the back you guys are inviting me in the back you never know it was pretty fun yeah come on you're still
fun but i'm still fine it's a different kind of fun yeah but the attention span fucking sucks
where it's like what's this supposed to mean like it's i had a setup you missed what i'm talking
about you know what's fun i'll do this in an audience i see somebody just on their phone
and then i'll like keep talking i'll take a napkin i'll wad it up and then as they're just like they're lost and i'll just like hit
them with it and they're like what the fuck i'm like what was i talking about and what do they do
uh nothing i don't know they get either embarrassed i'm like sorry or they're like fuck you you hit me
it's funny but i'm like this you're not gonna do anything more exciting than this this week
do people get blacked out drunk oh yeah like blacked out yeah
so right sometimes hecklers are fun because they're like they mean well they're just like
lit up yeah that that those are fun and everyone's having a good time with them
what do you yeah you gotta see a show at like the store yeah i like to go in the belly room
like i remember we the last time before everything went crazy um here and everything shut down before

what's the one right over there?
The Laugh Factory?
Laugh Factory store.
It was one of them.
But it was a small,
small group.
And like he's done so well
since he's really crushed it.
This is like before he blew up.
This was before.
And it was so fucking funny
but there was nobody,
there was like 25 people
in the room.
And I like that
because then you can like,
you have the energies right there.
Late night vibe too.
It's all kind of split up and the room's kind of bombed out.
Everyone's kind of tight.
Yeah.
You can really, it's like, it's very conversational.
Yeah.
Those big arenas is like, it's, they're fun, but you're putting on a show.
I prefer like.
What's your pre-show ritual?
Don't lie.
None of us have these rituals.
Come on.
You don't have any routine?
That's movie shit.
What are you talking about?
Like you don't have like a, like, like you shake it out.
Like you drink a beer. Bert came on here and said his travel ritual
is he goes in the shower
and lathers his whole body up completely.
A whole thing.
Before our trip.
No, here's Bert's travel ritual
because I've been on the road with him.
Parties and says,
come on, you guys got to keep up
for three straight days.
And then he sleeps for 27 hours
and takes 800 different pills
to fucking calm himself down.
And then he repeats that.
It's on a four-day cycle.
You have no ritual that you do.
Ritual?
No, sometimes we're just
in the middle of a conversation
and then it's like,
we're trying to finish it
as they're bringing you up.
You're like, yeah, yeah, wait.

Okay.
And it's out there.
So that's how he stays faithful.
Pull that clip for Bert.
Yeah.
For other people, I'm not sure.
Is it hard?
Dude, I've been naked in the shower with Bert
in a steam shower in Park City.
Yeah.
You've been naked in the shower with Bert?
Yeah, steam shower.
I'm just remembering that now.
The matchmaker before Patti Sanger,
what was she saying?
She could match me and Bird Up?
What did she call it, Taylor?
DL.
Do you know what DL is?
It's like with your boys,
you're just wrestling
and all of a sudden
your dick slips in their ass.
What's DL?
On the DL?
She says guys don't think it's cheating when they're wrestling and all of a sudden the dick slips in the ass if they're married.
It's like those memes where it says your buddy sucked you off, but as long as you say no homo, it doesn't make it gay.
I mean, you can define yourself however you want.
So yeah, if you want to say it's not cheating, it's not cheating.
I agree.
Is it hard to be on the road, though, and have all these hot girls if you're in a relationship around?
Yeah, for sure.
Yeah.
I mean, the amount of...
Bert's a good fucking husband.
The chicks would be like, oh, goddamn, I want that in my life.
I'm sure they're constantly going like, hey, you can have it.
No, he said he's, you can have it.
No, he said he's completely shut off to it.
He said he doesn't... He is, as much of a drinker as he is,
he's just like a wholesome kid.
Yeah.
He's the guy at the frat.
He's still in a frat, but he's like,
guys, let's drink tonight.
I got cornhole.
You know?
And you're like, all right.
And everyone's like, let's go try to get laid.
He's like, no, come on.
One more game of cornhole. Bear pong. And it it's like he's wholesome in a drunk way yeah that's
really cute yeah yeah what's your favorite podcast to guest on uh i mean it's got to be this one now
thanks yeah yeah um love being on legion of skanks they, they go hard. Okay. Yeah.
They, they go fucking hard.
Are you garbage is fun.
Cause they ask you, have you been on, are you garbage?
What's that?
It's these two guys who are like real trash and they judge whether you are.
Oh, so they ask you questions.
They, you, yeah, you should go on there.
What's the criteria?
So they'll ask you questions you've never thought of. So my first time was like have you ever microwaved eggs and it's like in college yeah and like
write down like notes you're like no in college like this like and they have a lot of questions
that get to the heart of it like an autism test and they'll be like they'll be like oh they asked
me once like have you ever squeegee cleaned your car? I'm like, guys, I was a poor, it's been a decade or two, but yeah.
And they're like, okay.
Yeah.
And it really makes you mad.
Are you garbage?
Are you garbage?
No.
Were you garbage?
First of all, the unverified results.
It's just up to them.
Yes, I was.
You were garbage.
Yes.
Okay.
I want to go on that.
You should.
I have microwave things.
Has anybody not been garbage that's been on the show? Segura, for some reason, was class.
Classy or trashy.
I disagree with a lot of their...
He lied.
I don't know if he's being truthful.
Well, yeah, I don't know.
It's up to them.
It's up to them.
I've squeegees my car and I've...
It's a great way to get it clean.
But I was young.
So does that still count?
They say you have that in you.
So people become rich and it's like, well, they are these different people. But then it young. So does that still count? They say you had that in you.
So people become rich and it's like, well, they are these different people.
But then it's like, who are you really, though?
I got to be honest, though.
Yeah.
I would still microwave eggs.
In a pinch?
In a pinch.
Yeah.
I didn't even know you could do that.
I would never microwave eggs or a squeegee microwave. That's a real garbage.
We literally just talked about how you woke up on the streets with the sun under
you would for sure. You can't. You're done.
He doesn't do anything. You woke up at a homeless encampment?
He did. It was across the street from it.
No, it wasn't. Don't lie.
That is such. Across the street from a homeless encampment
is still a homeless encampment. That's just adjacent.
Don't lie about what happened.
It was homeless adjacent.
Didn't you pee your pants? That's like saying I live in Beverly Hills when you live
like just outside Beverly Hills.
He does these things
and then he doesn't
tell the true story
until like five story.
You slowly.
You uncover details.
Yeah.
So fun to do that.
And you're like,
wait, I thought you said
you got there on Tuesday,
but you said now Monday.
And you're like, fuck.
Like he's been working
with us for a long time
and we had this
and he was telling me,
he's like, yeah,
like the last event we did,
I was like, you know,
so responsible. I was watching everyone went out to the bars in austin i was all good
and then later another person that said yeah i shared a wall with taylor his whole night and
just heard him throwing up all night i love it i love it i love a good truth see you got me you
can't rebuttal it back there yeah yeah the other day you told me this story about how he premature ejaculated.
And when he did it, it shot up all over his chest into his mouth.
It wasn't in my mouth.
When you told the story the first time.
Wait, what?
Yeah, he has a form.
Premature ejaculation
during sex
it's like the summer
before the act
it just lost control
he didn't know
he didn't know
what edging was yet
wait wait
wait
it was the summer of edging
I know it's a lot
so you were just
making out
like you got to the point
of nudity
and then just shot
a load up into the air
you guys do like a
sober October challenge
sometimes
he did the summer of edging
summer of edging summer of edging. Summer of edging.
Summer of edging.
Four months of like
build up.
Four months.
Wow, I did a month once.
Yeah, he had an encounter
four months in
and it was just four months.
Yeah, but like
at what point was it,
okay, if the clothes were on,
you're not going to
shoot in your face.
It has to be in between.
What were you doing?
Just dry humping?
Rubbing the outside?
Yep, exactly.
Rubbing the outside.
He was dry humping
and he splooged all over his face
and his mouth.
What does the lady say at that point?
She didn't know.
I mean, she didn't know.
She would know.
I'm sure she would at least go,
how does it feel?
No, because I just was like,
I've got to use your restroom real quick.
I've got to go to the bathroom.
She didn't know.
Or she does now.
Some random guy in my bathroom
would come all over his... It's like enough is enough. She didn't know. And she does now. Some random guy in my bathroom would come all over his...
It's like enough is enough.
She didn't know.
And then he came on the podcast
and told the whole story
and then went over to her house
and left the editing file open
and then she heard it
and lost her marbles on it
because that's how she found out.
What?
Yes, that literally is true.
That is what happened.
She's probably going to hear it now.
Oh my God.
And he'd have to live through that trauma
once again.
I'm sorry, whoever you are. So you were just edging the whole four months just getting close and then
stopping like a fucking i didn't realize that you were supposed to do it and then it like
eventually released before so i just kept taking i was like literally living life on the edge
were you just blue balled all the time pretty much were you just like oh you sat down like good front hemorrhoids he has a little bit of a porn addiction problem yeah no he solved it i think
no he didn't he i know he did not solve it he watches it about can i just say for a wellness
podcast this is pretty fucking out there is that how this was sold to you yeah oh she said we're
gonna go talk about your wellness i don't know actually i am curious how they did sell it to
you when they reached out.
Yeah, tell us how they sold it.
They were like, they got a cancellation.
Would you be up for it?
I'm like, yeah, what's their deal?
She's like, your wellness lady.
And like, I don't know.
And I was like, okay.
And then I clicked once just to see, and I saw, you know, Gwyneth here.
And you said yes.
And I'm like, all right, well, I guess this is what they are.
Let's have some fun.
But there's a fun range.
This was a different range than I was expecting.
Well, I think that this is a bag of Chex you never know what you're gonna get podcast i wouldn't call
it a wellness podcast i would say and listen loved speaking to gwyneth it would have been hard to
broach the edging conversation i don't know though she has the candle that actually smells like my
vagina no you know what she was pretty cool i bet we could have got her there if we edged into it a little bit.
I don't
really know that she would want to know about Taylor's
edging or how he pees
when he's drunk or just like
all of it. But you know, yeah, we like to consider
ourselves a duo with range.
Is edging really just a new version of
like pulling out before you come in one minute?
Is that just edging where it's like, hold on, give it a sec?
Wait, so you bait.
Is that the new don't move, don't move, don't move?
I picture it and I've never actually seen someone do it.
Michael doesn't have this problem.
I picture it like you're jacking off and right before you're about to come, you stop.
Exactly.
You're supposed to have, so.
But then you can't touch it for a minute.
Exactly.
Or breathe on it.
You gotta reset.
Or breathe on it or have any movement at all because you're that close.
The sex party guy
was telling you about.
What did he call it,
Taylor?
Dick control?
Some kind of dick.
I don't remember.
He said Jamin promised
that he could help Taylor
work through it.
Do you want to go
to one of Jamin's parties?
One of the sex parties?
For sure.
For sure.
You go in Germany
to some places
and it's just fucking
so cool. Tell us about it. Have you Germany to some places, and it's just fucking so cool.
Tell us about it.
Have you gone?
Yeah.
Well, it's just like,
there's just like certain clubs.
They're like, yeah, they're just nuts.
And I walked in there.
I didn't know what to expect.
I like, you know, Molly and dancing,
white boy dancing, just jumping.
And then like, you get in.
My friend Tommy had to get in.
He's like, you're just going to learn some German.
Because they want a lot of Latin tourists, really.'s like, you're just going to learn some German. So because they want to let in tourists really.
So either wear all leather or just learn some German.
So he told me like, Hey, where, what time is lunch tomorrow or something like that?
And I said, I think 11 or 1130 Martha's meeting us.
And then he said something back in German.
And then we just said that when he got to the front and the guy's like, all right, you
guys go ahead.
So then we're like, Oh my God, so much sound.
It's overwhelming.
And you're like, what the fuck?
I saw people in like, in like ballererina outfits like had coming out into the lobby
and you're like whoa they're like worn out from like 10 hours of going for it you can check your
coat story is somebody checked their gimp there once and was like you got to stay there while
i'm dancing and have a good time these places are fucking nuts first thing i see when i go in i'm
like let's get a beer i got it's too much for me i'm an introvert it's too much so it's like blaring music like sound systems made for this place and i go in, I'm like, let's get a beer. I got, it's too much for me. I'm an introvert. It's too much. So it's like blaring music.
It's like sound systems made for this place.
And I go in there and I see it's a bar kind of like this long bar.
I'm at the edge and I see way down there, a guy with no shirt on just ordering like two beers like this.
And just like, I was like, Oh, he's drunk, but he's like moving rhythmically.
And I'm like, what's going on?
And then I looked down and what was moving him was a man's fist just disappeared into his ass.
Just gone.
And just, and just push.
So that's why he's like, like the movement.
He's a hand puppet.
I did.
Yes, he was a hand puppet.
I'd like to think one of those two beers was for the puppet master.
But I didn't stare how locked up.
And the guy was, he was loving it.
Both were having a great time.
What else was going on at the party?
Full, like, you would pass by.
But at a certain point, you'd pass by, and you'd, like, then I got desensitized.
But you're, like, walking to another room, and you just see some girl, like, to a guy standing there.
And you're just, like, at that point, you're just like, whatever, cool.
I try to pretend
that I would act cooler
in one of those parties,
but I feel like
I'd be fully overwhelmed.
I think I'd be fine.
It's overwhelming.
You'd get fine.
You'd be fine.
I'd be fine.
You just have to play it cool.
It's hard.
You're not used to seeing that,
so it's hard to be like,
oh, don't be chill.
What do you mean?
You see porn.
Yeah, it's not every day
that you see some guy
being worked like a puppet.
Yeah. First of all, you do you mean? You see porn. Yeah, it's not every day, though, that you see some guy being worked like a puppet. Yeah.
First of all, you've never even seen that on porn.

No one's looking at you.
60 people are watching.
No one's looking at your veiny penises.'m sorry to tell you guys i hate to break the news

it's not rocket science okay it's not rocket science you got you gotta

it happens you can prepare yeah smoke a cigar smoke a cigar cigars make your testosterone go
crazy it feels like a pogo stick. You have to smoke a cigar.
You thought you were coming for wellness?
This is a lot of stick.
Smoke a cigar.
All right, this is a lot.
Invite me to the barbecue.
Am I invited yet?
Do you know what's so wild about you?
You say this with the most authority
as if you have a dick.
Tobacco makes you not get hard.
No, I know my husband,
when he smokes a cigar,
there's nothing like it.
It's a different situation.
He gets harder after cigars? It's wild. Well, because I get a it. It's a different situation. He gets harder after cigars?
It's wild.
Well, because I get a moment.
It's most likely
because I get a moment to myself
without having to yap in my ear.
This is so nice.
Like, babe, it's an hour at least.
Why do your cigars keep getting longer?
I'm like, I know, right?
Nothing you can do.
It's the industry.
My cigars are hanging
at a fucking table at this point.
You're holding them like a peace pipe.
You're like, I got to get through this.
Sorry.
Please shut up.
A cigar, though,
does make it feel different.
I'm telling you,
I've done my research
on this.
You have not done
any fucking research.
After he has a cigar.
So you have the cigar
and then you go straight
and you have sex
and there's something in it
that has testosterone,
which is why Sly and Arnold,
this is my theory.
They use testosterone.
It's a crazy theory.
Thank you. I do think actually though
That cigars have the potential
To boost your testosterone a bit
But mostly because I think
You can just like
Tap into being
You know
A man

Bert has good cigars.
Bert always has nice cigars.
It's manly.
It's manly.
Yeah.
What's not manly though
is a cigarette.
Bombing on stage
is not manly.
A cigarette
under your fingernail
and someone trying
to finger bang a girl.
No thanks. Or the vape pens. The vape pens I don't understand no thanks no thanks yeah when i first started dating him he
smoked cigarettes and i was like listen you're gonna stop smoking cigarettes or you're not gonna

and you try to finger aim me.
That's worse than cigarettes. Now I wash
my hands when I come home. That's Ari's wellness advice.
You don't go on the subway. Thanks for that wellness.
You gotta have nice tips.
You gotta tell the jalapeno popper story. Wash your hands before you have nice tips. You got to tell the jalapeno poppers.
Wash your hands before you finger bang it.
You guys fucked with a jalapeno popper?
No, my buddy made a bunch of jalapeno poppers.
You know where this is going.
Yeah.
It did not end well.
And he ended up,
they both ended up going to the hospital.
Damn.
The whole deal.
You can't finger bang
after making jalapeno poppers.
You can't even piss.
If I've had that,
I'll just unzip and shake it out of there
and then piss like this and kind of shake it back in. Why you can't touch a jalapeno your dick is not ready for
it your fingers are ready for it your mouth is ready for it your eyes is not your dick so that's
what i mean you gotta like move up when you're stunning your your asshole you know what though

Actually, I do.
I like jalapeno poppers.
And that's something
that I feel like you would make
on a date.
No, like,

I mean,
there's so many stories
to tell.
How do you do that?
You got to get cheese
on the inside,
wrap it in bacon.
Stuff it.
Stuff it.
Yeah, that's not a food
that you want to make on a date.
That's what gets you
in the mood for finger blasting. You're in there fucking shoving this cheese right into
this jalapeno and you're like you think what i'm thinking babe you just get in there and go but you
didn't you know another one that you got to be careful of is you never want to have sex
and i didn't do this i have a friend that did with a tampon in yeah well no shit lauren yeah that's not it that's not you had no shit

what ari we have failed our audience today comes here for wellness there's probably a lot of girls
that are like,

Yeah.
I met a porn star,
and they used to be adjacent to the comedy scene,
so we'd all talk,
and one guy who ran a house was like,
yeah, this lady, her pussy stunk so bad.
You know where this is going to.
But it was like she last had sex on her last period,
left it in the whole fucking month of porn fuckings.
And we were just building up semen.
With the tampon. With the tampon.
With the tampon.
And then that thing just,
I don't know what new disease.
I think that's how COVID started.
You know, after this,
we're interviewing
a Fox News correspondent.

You're going to have to what? What does
Rupert
Are you going to ask that?
Rupert Gingrich.
He's just playing like an idiot and just like
ask the worst like but thoughtful
questions. Yeah, I know that's the one where maybe
now actually after all this we should get shit
face for. Can I ask an actual kind of wellnessy entrepreneur question?
Sure.
If someone's listening and they want to be a comic.
You could be held liable for fucking, if something bad happens to anyone who listens to anything
you guys say on this podcast.
Really?
Cut that out.
Cut that out.
Cut it out.
Don't go, don't go get.
They'll be like, what?
Don't fuck with tampons in?
Oh my God. my life has changed now
don't give me a fucking lawsuit what's the what's the advice the advice for someone who wants to be
a comedian what are the real tangible tips because it's a lot of fucking work it is you
got to get up on stage and bomb horribly for five just three to seven years okay yeah yeah it's not
a fun road so it's a young person's game to
start so older people want to get into it's like you you you're not you can't do this nobody's got
into it older and like really crushed it no it's all been or nor has anyone really who's already
famous who got into it crushed it because they're also not willing to eat shit so if they were
famous before from acting or something and then they were like let me do comedy it's like you're
you're gonna not be equipped to do this.
Has there been any actor that's crossed over to comedy?
There's always been comics that have crossed over to acting.
Almost.
Let me think.
Who's made that crossover?
Some people have done some acting before, but not like an actor.
You know?
Robin Williams comic before.
Comic before.
Jamie Foxx.
Every comic that's ever come on here says it's just reps.
Like you just have to keep doing it.
Just do it a lot.
In bad rooms, in bad environments.
But also, if you're a celebrity, people are like,
let's have you in this great room.
You actually should be doing really shitty open mics
where nobody knows you.
How often?
Twice a night for six to seven nights a week for five years.
Why do young new comics not make it?
Outside of if they're not funny,
what burns them out the most? It's lot of failure at some point you're like i
can't do this anymore three years in your wife's nagging you like you have a master's degree i need
you to start making some money and they're like fuck and then you start this is never gonna happen
