Where you been and where you going? This is Ari's Travel Show, yeah. We're gonna talk about travel today. It's UB Trippin', yeah.
world's only podcast.
Okay.
So, uh,
today,
uh,
we have KFC from KFC sports found it.
I'm not even gonna make the KFC joke.
It's been up too many times.
Um,
it's a travel podcast and I've had a lot of like really world-class traveler comics on,
but what I do want,
which I'm interested in this one is that I try to get you on before and you're like,
I haven't been fucking anywhere.
Uh, anyway, I went, I went on a honeymoon to Italy and Greece.
Great.
Okay.
I have gone, when I was in like sixth grade,
my uncle lived in London for a while,
so we did like a pretty extended trip there.
It was like several weeks.
Yeah.
But I was like 12, so you can't really.
And then other than that,
it's just bouncing around
like in America,
LA,
Miami,
like,
uh,
you know,
like the Bahamas,
shit like that.
I am one of the least
traveled people you'll ever meet.
Yeah.
But I like that
because it's like the,
the listeners are both like
world-class,
like hostile people
who stay gone for two years
and also be like,
I don't know.
I've always wanted to go somewhere.
Dude,
when I,
I have a map that I used to put up
when we were likeging, before podcasting
and video, and it was just written blog, I had this go-to map that I would always put
up, and I would X out every country.
Every time there was a new story, like man eaten by a lion in Blubber.
I'm not going there.
And I would X them out.
And within two years, I had the whole world fucking X'd out.
I would just love to see a pushpin, whatever.
When I get in a studio, I'll have like a pushpin thing and just no pins.
None.
None.
That's where I won't go.
Zero.
Yeah, not the biggest traveler, but finally got something in my passport.
Nice.
Okay, so where are we going today?
What's the story?
We went to Amsterdam.
Okay. On a whim. Fucking sweet. Yeah. On a whim where are we going today? What's the story? We went to Amsterdam. Okay.
On a whim.
Fucking sweet.
Yeah.
On a whim.
Why'd you go?
Tell me why you went.
So about nine months ago, we have Bert Kreischer on the show.
I think it's Brad Kreischer, but go ahead.
Actually, even better, the better description we heard when we were crossing through customs.
They said, what are you here for?
We said, Bert Kreischer.
He didn't really know it.
We started to explain Two Bears, One Cave, and he goes,
oh, oh, the fat one.
So, yeah.
So we're there for Bert.
First of all,
I mean,
that's a double one because Tom is now
not the fat one anymore.
He's lost so much weight. So that statement
will hurt and compliment
at the same time, which will make Tom laugh even more. What a great fucking... Even Bert's lost so much weight. So that statement will hurt and compliment at the same time. All at the same time.
Which will make Tom laugh even more.
What a great fucking- Even Burt's lost so much weight.
When we look back at the clip nine months ago versus now, he's in better shape.
But it's like the Jonah Hill effect.
Once you're a fat guy, you're a fat guy.
You're a fat guy.
He could look like you tomorrow and we'd call him fat.
Burt has a secret that no one knows about, which is he'll gain massive amounts of weight
and then talk about how much he's losing.
But he's just never.
And then being off camera, he gains it up and then goes, hey guys, I'm going to lose
weight.
And then everyone gets behind his fucking.
Yeah.
But then it's like, wait, how are you still 285?
And it's like, oh, because.
It's a magician's trick.
It's sleight of hand, but with your fatness.
Yeah.
But nine months ago, he's on the podcast.
We're talking.
I think it started with Chappelle where we were like,
how crazy was it when Chappelle was able to just say,
fuck it,
I'm gone.
You know how many people can just,
I would love to get Dave Chappelle on this podcast.
Just about the Africa trip.
What food you eat.
Yeah.
Not like,
why'd you go?
I'm not concerned at all about that.
We're just saying,
just let me know what you were doing.
But,
uh,
so in that conversation,
he was like, I'd love to just like pick up, go to Paris for the night.
We're eating dinner in Paris and we're coming home.
And then the conversation kind of develops and he's like, we're going to do this.
And he said, within a year, I'm going to hit you guys one day.
You have 24 hours to get on the plane and come.
And he was like, you don't know.
I'm not going to tell you where.
I'm not going to tell you what I I'm not going to tell you what,
I'm going to say,
he told us,
get your passports ready,
and then he said,
Get your passports ready,
because you can't do that late.
And he said,
Dude, I hate Bergkaiser,
but I love this.
It was great.
And honestly,
I don't really hate Bergkaiser,
but that is great.
This could,
what we just did,
I think could be its own travel show,
like a real travel show,
not a travel channel, not what he used to do. The real one where it's like, this is, could be its own travel show. Like a real travel show, not a travel channel.
Not what he used to do.
The real one where it's like,
this is what happens when you really fucking travel.
No, I would do that with Bert.
Let's just go somewhere,
and then we'll do this podcast about some other place.
But we'll do it in front of Machu Picchu.
And then talk about Amsterdam.
So he... Wow, he just kicked you.
When we were talking on the podcast,
he was like like What about Portugal
And so that was
Kind of on my mind
And then he was like
No no no
We're gonna go somewhere crazy
So I was like
This motherfucker's
Gonna take us to like
The Sahara desert
Or something like that
And I'm gonna go from
You know
Never traveling
To like the weirdest place
In the world
You look at Bernese
He told us that
Originally it was gonna be Morocco
Oh god Dream place I know I think I would've had A good time there But last minute Burn easy. He told us that originally it was going to be Morocco. Oh, God.
Dream place.
I know.
I think I would have had a good time there.
But last minute, something came up, and that didn't work.
And then he was like, and I looked at his schedule.
He was in Amsterdam for like a few days, knew he was going to have a couple off days.
And so this was last Monday, whatever the day was.
I just get a text from him Monday morning
like 11 a.m.
clock starts now
and he put out a video
saying
clock starts now
you have 24 hours
yeah
it was a little more than that
because it was like
he got your tickets
yes
so it was 745 p.m.
the next night
so a little more than 24 hours
but he was the night before
so he's like
start packing
do your laundry
start now
that was the other thing too
originally he was
you gotta get laundry
somebody's like don't have any underwear the original idea was now. That was the other thing, too. Originally, he was- You got to get laundry. Somebody's like, do not have any underwear.
The original idea was just the clothes on your back.
I love that.
It ended up being a couple more days.
I like that.
That could work because really, you can just get underwear.
Absolutely.
And you can get a pair of pants.
You can get anything.
I wear the same jeans.
Give me a hoodie.
As long as I can change my underwear, I'm good to go.
Everybody, or I'll ask for travel tips at the end of this, and you can give me one.
But a lot of people like Paclite.
That's a number one underwear tip.
And the deal is like, what if I need like what if it's colder than i think they
get a jacket there you'll have a memory attached to it sure yeah go ahead so um so we get the text
now like it's me and feidelberg my podcast co-host john feidelberg he is 30 i don't know three uh
single no kids lives alone he can do it. He can go, right?
For me, this actually kind of weighed over my head for a while
because I was like, it's going to be awesome and I have to do it,
but I got two kids, I've got an ex-wife, I've got responsibilities.
I was like, I know this is going to come on a day where my kids are with me
or they have a special event or something.
This is the number one reason,
this attitude,
of why I'm happy
to not have kids.
The ability to get up
and move.
Go.
Me and Renazisi
were doing
Something's Burning
at Bert's old place,
at his old house,
and he was like,
we were talking about
just freedom.
And he goes,
Ari's more free.
And Bert's like,
I'm as free as you.
I just started laughing.
He's like,
what do you mean?
Get the fuck out of here.
Yeah, Renazisi's like,
Ari can just flip the table
over and be on a plane in six hours
and be gone even more than that
it's the freedom to do
nothing to do exactly that's what people
like yeah listen I'm
the perfect example of like when you're single
and young you can just pick up
and fly to Australia but I never did
right I never did it right but what I did do
is constantly just do nothing
for hours at a time.
That's so great.
And if I wanted to be hungover all day,
if I wanted to wake up at four o'clock,
if I wanted to watch,
you know,
I could do it all
or not do it all.
And then you have kids
and that shit goes
right out the fucking window.
And it's also a classic case of
don't know what you got
until it's gone
or regret's always greener.
All of a sudden,
I wanted to be like,
I wish I could just, I wish I could just get a backpack and go. Even though it's like, no, I don't. But it's let's gone or grass is always greener. All of a sudden I wanted to be like, I wish I could just,
I wish I could just get a backpack and go,
even though it's like,
no,
I don't.
But it's just because I can't anymore.
I can't.
What do you mean?
I'm still,
I'm now at the plate with a dog.
It's like,
it's still a little too hard to do that.
I've given up that level of freedom where I really,
and I have bookings on the road now.
It was easier when I was,
I have three bookings a year.
When they say,
um,
a lot of people say having a dog is like having a kid.
And they're so incredibly wrong, it's not even close.
No, you're right.
It's exactly like having a kid, and in fact, harder.
Well, here's the thing.
But more rewarding.
If you leave your dog alone for a couple days, it'll be okay.
It'll be okay.
This is why having a dog is better.
This is why having a dog is better. Better, for sure. It's not harder. You leave your kid alone for a couple days, it'll be okay. It'll be okay. This is why having a dog is better. This is why having a dog is better.
Oh, better for sure.
It's not harder.
You leave your kid alone
for a couple days,
it dies.
Well, it's harder to,
okay, but it's harder
to leave your dog alone
for a couple days
because they're so awesome.
Yes, I would love
to leave my kids alone
for weeks at a time.
Goodbye.
I don't want to talk to you.
Okay, okay, let's get back though.
So, yeah,
so Bert calls you,
he's like, go.
Yeah.
God, I love this story.
The only thing he said,
I did not know this.
Yeah, it's awesome.
It's really like a once in a lifetime thing. I'll call him as soon as we're done with this. He said, you go. Yeah. God, I love this story. The only thing he said. I did not know this. Yeah, it's awesome. It's really like a once in a lifetime thing.
I'll call him as soon as we're done with this.
He said, you have 24 hours.
The only thing he told us was you need red clothes.
Really?
Or he said, bring something red.
Now, we don't know what that's about.
We're thinking, one of the guys we work with told us about something about, he went to
a red dinner in Amsterdam and it was like one of these like eyes wide shut like sex parties I'm thinking like red uh it's uh like I didn't
know red light district I'm like are we gonna be like on stage in the district I don't know what
we were what we were up against so me and Feidelberg said if we're gonna do this trip let's
do it fucking big we go down to this place called abracadabra. Wait, wait, wait. What is that? It's like a
half costume store, half
movie props and shit.
And so we went in
and we were like, we need red
suits and red
clothes. So I end up getting a red
blazer and pants.
Why? Feidelberg gets a
red onesie,
bell bottoms, button up, collared, long sleeve.
It was like this wide red disco.
It was awesome.
I love it.
Dude, he looked like a fucking rock star.
You got a picture of him?
Yeah.
Let me see that.
That's so cool.
It was one of the coolest fuck.
And he's like a pretty fashionable dude.
Feidelberg?
Yeah.
No fucking.
So like ripping a cig. That's awesome. R fashionable dude. Feidelberg? Yeah. No fucking. So like ripping his
sag in these
red bell bottoms. You look fat
in yours. Yeah well I don't picture I don't
photograph well. You're not
as fat as this picture. Yeah I do not
photograph well. Wow.
Dude he looks fucking cool. I'm happy you said that
you looked at me and you were like no okay.
I want to make sure. Yeah. No I'll either go
vicious or ironic.
You do not. If I'm talking. I want to make sure. Yeah. No, I'll call it. They go vicious or ironic. You do not.
If I'm talking to live for it's vicious.
Yeah.
I was like, oh, that's not you.
You do.
You just look fat.
Yeah.
No, I do not photograph or.
How much was that outfit?
Uh, I don't know what his was.
Mine was like cheap as shit.
It was like, I don't know, fucking like a hundred bucks or whatever.
Wow.
Um, but the, um, it turns out all, it turns out all Bert wanted to do was celebrate Chinese New Year, which is you
have to wear red.
So he's wearing a red hoodie and red sweatpants and we're wearing a suit and fucking bell
bottoms.
But it was actually, I actually liked it better because it was like, it made it special.
Heads were turning.
People were like, what the fuck are these guys?
Dude,
underrated is to go all out on a fucking outfit.
All out.
It's underrated.
You'll never really regret it.
People were like,
damn,
that looks good.
If you're traveling and shit,
black people compliment you.
They do it all the time.
But they also do it all the time.
They have the style
and they are always doing it
and they always are cool.
Who?
Black people.
Black people,
right.
And we just wear like,
you know,
the same like hoodie and jeans every fucking day.
We've been wearing this
for eight days.
Every time.
And I think if you do it
for when you're traveling,
like make it special.
But honestly,
also like you go out
for like a regular night,
fucking throw on a stupid hat.
Throw on a hat.
Throw on a fucking crazy jacket.
Whatever.
It will make it
that much more memorable.
Okay, let's get back
to Amstrad.

Now let's get back to the episode. Hey, episode of you be tripping is brought to you by
cutsclothing.com it's laundry day here at the shafir house and i could wear something else
but nothing is as breathable as cuts clothing yeah it's wrinkle-free sure and they have sweatpants
that are stretched to fit so if you're fat like bert you don't have to make up an excuse i lost
weight and photoshop your stuff you can just get more breathable, looser fitting clothing.
But at Cuts, what I like is the breathability. Nothing's like it. Only, I would say, my bare
skin. So instead of wearing some competitor's clothing that's, I can't breathe, I can't breathe. It must be like Hiroshima.
No, no, not Hiroshima.
What's the one where the whole nuclear plant imploded?
Fugishaki? Shakamuki?
Tsukamoto? Nah, you know what I'm talking about.
It's in Japan.
Anyway, they had to send in older people to go in there
because it was so rank with fucking radiation
that they were going to die.
They were going to die.
And they went in there anyway.
They devoted their time, their lives,
to save not only the people of Japan,
but the people of the whole world.
Those brave men and women saved us all.
They went in to a cloud of radiation, unable to breathe, knowing they would never come out.
Yeah.
Fukushima?
Something like that.
Anyway, the way they went in, that's how I feel without cuts clothing on.
Unbreathable.
That's not a world you want to be in.
No. Plus, it's wrinkle-free so you're not out there
looking like you're allergic to your iron but it's not just that i've also got a special money

Let's get back to the episode.
Don't forget to hit subscribe wherever you're watching or listening today.
I'm Ari Shafir, and I do stand-up comedy.
We end up,
so we go, we hit a 7.45
p.m. flight overnight.
We land at
9 a.m. local time. Perfect.
They, I was like, I don't know,
maybe they're going to be sleeping, working out,
getting ready for lunch, whatever. You can't expect Bert to be
up at 9 a.m. Bro, we were at
the bar by 10.15.
I literally, my room.
I thought you were going to say we're at the fucking Van Gogh Museum.
Nope.
My room wasn't even ready.
I had to leave my bag with the concierge.
We were at the bar, joint in hand, beer in hand by like 10.15.
Bert got you just like, here, here, let's go.
For whatever reason, there was like seven of us, eight of us.
We had three different joints going.
It was like so unnecessary.
Yeah.
And I mean, back in my day, I partied, I drank, I did it all.
Yeah.
I've been, I hung them up, you know, I've pretty much retired for a while now.
Yeah.
So I'm going to Amsterdam with, and Feidelberg's a booze bag
and I'm going with The Machine.
Yeah.
And the whole time I was like,
I'm like a little bit nervous about this.
Literally, Norman opened for him
three years ago in Europe
and he goes,
hey, how do I keep up with him?
Right.
And I had to tell him like,
sit near a plant
that you can throw half glasses of drink into.
Yep, yep.
And then just realize
you will not keep up with him
so don't try.
So I actually was able,
there was two reasons I was able to do it.
Number one,
I think I underestimate my underage drinking days.
Westchester,
New York,
early 2000s,
I think was a drinking culture that is unlike anywhere else in the fucking world.
I was like 15 years old in a bar.
You don't have to go long term on this.
It's a short spurt.
And I just needed to dig deep one more time
and fucking throw the fastball.
Do you remember that, I think, was it Damn Yankees?
Some play where the guy makes a deal or a book
or makes a deal with the devil to be a great baseball player.
And the deal gets revoked as he's rounding third
in the World Series.
And then suddenly he turns into a fat whatever
and it's just him. But him, he's fucking, but he's rounding third in the World Series and then suddenly turns into a fat whatever and it's just him.
But he's fucking it.
But he's legging it out because he would have been saved by a
mile. But I was like, shit.
Short spurt, you can do it.
And so there was two things. One,
it was just smoking weed and drinking beers.
When the shots start flowing is when I
get in trouble. And there wasn't that.
Two, Amsterdam, and I don't
know if this is common in other places, but they offer small, medium, large
beers almost everywhere.
So I was able to go like round for round and just get medium beers, which was a pint, by
the way.
It was like a regular beer versus a fucking like bucket of a handle.
Yeah.
And so I was like, this is great for me.
And then I would just like smoke a little weed.
But we, I mean, we were, we went nonstop.
It went from, from like coffee shop to Chinese food restaurant to another coffee shop to
a red light district.
Woke up in the morning, did it again.
Went to Bert show, went, went back home.
You opened a show?
No, no, we, we just went.
He had all, he had a Maddie Smith was there.
Shane Torres was there.
Mark Smalls were there.
They were they were, you know, doing the show.
We were just like along for the ride.
Wait, let's describe the red light district.
So what do you think of it?
We stayed in a hotel that was fucking beautiful.
Bert put us up in a great spot.
And it was like, I don't know any of the streets or the areas, but it was you walk out and you go this way and you are in like beautiful museums and restaurants.
And then one block this way was the red light district.
That's unbelievable to me that it's just like they kind of keep it separate.
Yeah.
And it all stays pretty like in its own little area.
You know, you know, what's cool about Europe is that they're not embarrassed by their little
areas of like fucked up shit.
Yeah.
It's just part of their city.
And I think they very much
they take like open
container and public
urination all that shit
very seriously right so
they're like we're gonna
let you do all this shit
but don't fuck it up
don't make it a mess
don't trash adult about
it right fuck your
hookers and keep it
clean you know like
let's let's be adults
about it yeah
John yeah in Denmark
is the same way they're
like it's cool school
field trips to where
they sell weed legal you
know it's like oh it's just like,
this is part of our city.
Right.
Let's just be real about it.
The red light district here back then,
you know, 42nd or whatever,
was like,
stay the fuck away.
Right, dangerous,
fucking violent.
Yeah.
This is just like,
here's where you do your dirt.
I had never,
you know,
again, not a traveler,
so I had never done
any of that sort of shit.
Describe it.
So,
I don't think i under
quite understood the idea like of walking down like a little alleyway and there are just chicks
in like phone booths it's that's that's fucking wild it's like the zoo they are just standing
it's like a barbie in a fucking box and you can just be like, you, I'll pay and fuck you.
And that is crazy to me.
So I actually do that.
How many did you fuck?
No, we did more like the-
More than 10 or less than 10.
We did like the-
I'll make sure your wife doesn't see this.
I like the interactive shit.
Like we did like a fucking, a bunch of guys sit down.
We went to the banana bar, which is known for this banana trick that these girls do.
So we sat down.
I think we paid 400 bucks.
And you get like an hour's worth of several girls.
It's almost like a three act or four act play.
So the first one comes and she's like,
you can rub my tits. I find this to be very weird the whole table
sitting there so it's it's more of like a bachelor party thing general or weird there's too many
dudes around I think it's very strange she she was gross by the way fucking disgusting huge fat
sloppy tits weird scars god bless her she's trying to make a living but I was like I wouldn't even
look your way let alone do I want to do this
She gets out some lotion
And she's like
Go ahead
Rub my tits
Now I'm like
I'm gonna do whatever
For this show here
Do they need rubbing?
But I'm like
You know what was very embarrassing
Feidelberg
She was like
Like you're doing it wrong
She was like stop it
He went under the tit
And she wanted more
I couldn't believe this Ari
I almost passed out
She pulled this reference out The year of our lord 2023 In Amsterdam He went under the tip. And she wanted more. I couldn't believe this, Ari. I almost passed out.
She pulled this reference out.
The year of our Lord, 2023, in Amsterdam. She said, have you ever seen Karate Kid?
She wanted wax on, wax off.
I couldn't believe it.
This is the banana bar?
Is that a strip club?
It's more of like a club, like a loungy club.
Gentleman's club.
But they're stripping.
It's not like there's a pole and a stage.
It's more like the,
we were at like a little horseshoe shaped bar and they get up on the bar.
So she wants everyone to rubber tits and it kind of goes around the table and
then comes back around,
uh,
when you can rub her ass and all of them,
every single girl in the club,
but plug in at all times,
walking around, bending over,
hanging out talking,
plugged up the whole time.
Why?
I'm assuming to use it later and be-
What were they concerned with?
I think it's just to keep the space,
keep it ready.
So there's some tit rubbing.
And then the second part was
like another girl comes and they- Oh, no, the second part was she said, give me a name.
I'm going to write a postcard.
And she takes out a marker, puts it in her pussy.
And she says, give me a name.
So we said, our coworker of ours, Glenny Balls.
And I thought she was going to write Glenny Balls on a postcard with her pussy.
She starts to work at it.
And I'm looking at her
face she's like what do you mean like leaned over so she put a brick on the fucking bar and then put
a postcard on top of the brick and then kind of did this like one knee thing like this puts the
marker in and then i'm watching her her face is kind of like like you know when you're doing a
math problem and you're like really working on on it. And she's moving around.
She's moving like one of those 3d printers,
like up,
down,
up,
left,
right,
back,
forth,
back,
forth.
And when she was done,
you ever see those Instagram videos where someone paints and then they flip it upside down.
It's like an elephant.
It was like that.
She like spins it around.
And again,
I thought it was just going to say like,
Glennie. Yeah. It was like, dear Glenn like spins it around. And again, I thought it was just going to say like Glenny.
Yeah.
It was like, dear Glenny Balls, welcome to Africa.
Love, pussy.
And it was written like in calligraphy with hearts and all this shit.
I was like, I'm not turned on.
I think you're gross.
It's impressive.
But this is impressive.
This is phenomenal work.
It's the same thing you do in Thailand.
The writing on Papong.
What's that?
On Papong Street, I guess.
It's just like this sector.
They go like this.
They fucking put a marker in their pussy.
And they just kind of move around.
And they write something.
Not that nice, though.
I think Bert actually still has it.
I want to get a picture of it.
It was like beautiful penmanship.
It was fucking unbelievable.
Wow. So that's round two.. It was fucking unbelievable. Wow.
So that's round two.
Round three is finally
the banana bar.
This is where the namesake
comes from.
Two chicks start
like kind of making out.
She takes a banana out,
puts a condom on the banana
like a good hooker does
with her mouth, you know.
You don't want to get
a banana disease.
You know how the professionals do.
So she puts it in
and then they peel the banana
and they ask guys to eat the banana.
No.
I'll tell you my biggest problem. I was like, I don't like banana.
I just don't want to eat.
I hate bananas. That was not your biggest problem.
I hate the banana
more than what the banana is inside of.
Wait, did they make you eat it?
Yeah.
I mean, of course.
I'm not going to be like, I can't eat it.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
They peel it.
Excuse me.
So the banana's in-
Please reiterate.
And then the part that's sticking out gets peeled.
So you're just kind of biting it.
Imagine if I was holding her-
But you're getting right near their pussy.
Yeah, that's all.
You're not getting inside of it or anything.
It's not like you eat anything that's been inside of her.
It's just what's holding it.
I mean, technically, right.
It has not been inside of her.
Right.
It still feels pretty gross. Oh that's been inside of her. It's just what's holding it. It has not been inside of her. It still feels pretty gross.
Oh, yeah.
So then they say, who's getting spanked?
Shouldn't Red Light District turn on instead of a disgusting?
So this is more of a shock value thing.
And at this point, I'll be honest.
I'd rather do something like shock value than sexual.
Yeah.
Like, you got to be pretty fucking desperate and, like, not get much sexual attention to be like, I want to rub your tits.
Like, yeah, you know?
So this is more of like, this is wild, right?
So she says, who's getting spanked?
Now, remember this.
Burt Kreischer had been there the night before he walks into the banana bar the the people go oh you are back how are you money around
now this is this is a place that you probably go once your whole life burt goes there twice in two
nights he got he i think he had gotten like the treatment like spanked the night before
she she says who wants it he points right at Feidelberg man she beat the fuck
out of this dude laid him
stomach down pants down
took his belt out and
it was not like a little like
she went over her head
one
two
it was straight out of roots man it was like
Kunta Kinte shit
and then it can't get any worse,
she's slapping him in the face.
What?
She's beating him, man, and he's just laughing,
but I can tell he's also like,
another one and I'm swinging back, you know?
All of a sudden, she grabs her stiletto,
takes off her high heel,
and puts her stiletto right in his ass.
No, in his butthole?
In his butt.
The hole?
In the hole.
Not like six inches in, but he was like, it was in there.
Rolls him over and sticks it in his mouth.
He then gets off the table and he says to me,
was that in my, he goes, was that in my ass?
And I go, I don't know, you fucking tell me, man.
And he goes, no, no, no, the one that she put in my mouth, that was like a different one, fucking tell me man and he goes no no the one that he that
she put in my mouth that was like a different one right and i was like you're like no no no i can't
be sure if it was in your ass or not but if it was if anything was in your ass it was the one that
was also in your mouth exactly that so that that was he got the the treatment there they also do
this thing where um guys were holding a vibrator in their mouth, like with their teeth.
And then they would like bounce on them, which is also like, I can't hold it.
Like, I'm going to break a tooth doing that.
And then they, a lot of, if you do any of that shit, they also just drop it like on your face.
It's just like hooker pussy too close to your face.
Disgusting, man.
I mean, almost regular pussy that's too close.
Your average girl off the street it's
like no thanks although you know it's kind of one of those things they're actually like the
cleanest people you know right because they know they're about to present it and they have to like
i mean at least i don't know about you know when you when it's like porn these girls are tested
regularly and that's what they say about tijuana whorehouses they're like oh they want if they any
of them get herpes it's gonna kill business they just get them out of there immediately yeah
they don't care about that they care about the business so i'd imagine but also i could also
see in the red light district it's like yeah whatever girl i don't care uh and then the
finale yeah was this chick she sat on her back throws her legs over her head she blasts away
with this vibrator and then shoots it.
Gives it a good one, two, three, four, five.
And then the sixth one shoots out.
And certain guys were trying to catch it.
You had to kind of catch a punt.
It was a trip.
And then they catch it.
And I'm like, duh.
Dude, I used to do this game where I'd play in high school.
I'd put my hands behind my back.
I'm like, guess which hand. And if they're like, right, I'm like, duh. Today's the day where I play in high school. I put my hands behind my back and I'm like,
guess which hand.
And if they're like,
right,
I'm like,
oh,
nothing.
And then I go next,
you know,
guess which hand.
And then they guess,
you know,
whatever,
if it was in there.
I'm like,
yep.
And I throw them something and they catch it.
It was just my retainer.
And they're like,
ah,
but you catch it.
Yeah.
Why would you catch a fucking,
yeah.
Because you throw things
at people to catch it.
Yeah.
It was like a badge of honor
to catch the dildo.
Wow. You drop the dildo, you got bad hands. It was like a badge of honor to catch the dildo.
You drop the dildo, you got bad hands.
It's like a fumble.
So, I mean, I'm rolling watching all this shit.
To me, it's like,
it's not sexual.
It's not like anybody's like,
this is just preposterous.
Hi, guys.
When I started the UB Trippin' podcast,
one of the last things I was thinking about was selling to customers directly through my website online.
Yeah. Now, sure, I had a dream of finding used pegs and getting them into the hands of consumers, but I didn't know I could do that.
I thought I had to go to the park, Central Park or other, and do it door to door, hand to hand.
But now there's a new way, Shopify. Yeah, a company used by over 10% of all e-commerce providers in America has showed me the way.
They allowed me to find my used pegs and get them to my fans.
Yeah, it's an underutilized market.
Used pegs.
So what happens is a lot of these people are pegged out. These
guys experimented for a while and they're no longer into it. Pegs, you know what I'm talking
about. Pegging, pegging for people named Peggy, pegging in the butt. And they were like, oh,
let's just throw these out. And I said, no, let's do something good for the environment.
Let's do something good for the environment and reuse these pegs and get them into the hands of new people.
New people that care, that care about pegging and don't mind a little preconceived notions,
if you know what I'm talking about. Yeah, they want that stank. And I thought, how do we do it?
And Shopify stepped in and said, Ari, we can help you. You can help me get pegs, use pegs into the hands of consumers? That's right, they could.
They could, and they did. And if you go to arieshafeir.com right now, you can find yourself
a nice used peg. We also have new pegs, but we prefer you not to use those. That's only for the
non-adventurous. We call them a starter pack. What we do is we offer you one used peg and one free
peg. We want you to use that new peg, ship it back to us.
We'll get it in the hands of someone who only wants to use a used peg.
Why don't you get your own e-commerce started?
If you go to shopify.com slash trippin, you can get your $1 per month trial.
Yeah, that's $1 per month at shopify.com slash trippin.
Guys, if I could do it, so can you.
Get your own version of your own peg company started.
Yeah, it won't be as successful, but it will be less disgusting.
Shopify.com slash Trippin.
All lowercase.
See you in the peg scene.
Now back to the episode.
And then I guess the other thing you can do is watch people
fuck we didn't they did that the night before and they weren't that into it so we didn't get a chance
to do that my daughter went to that your daughter yeah um went to that in amsterdam and i was like
i'm not going yeah i mean that um jessica michelle yeah she she went in there and she was like i
don't know how she could it was it was very clinical yeah that's i think it was
also uh i heard like there's no music playing there's no it's not like the crowd is like
yelling it was just like they were watching yeah and to me if i'm watching two people fuck
that feels like i'm watching porn that means i'm like i'm gonna come yeah exactly this is
come we're gonna heckle yeah i'm not gonna just sit there quietly and watch i'd rather do something
where it's like this is absurd we're giving like the bachelor the treatment we're being ridiculous
with him and laugh about it rather than the the regular strip club was the most aggressive i've
ever been in in my life it was like man-to-man defense like we walked in with a few guys and
she was like i've got him you get him this was not the banana club this is this is the upstairs another no it was like the same place but like downstairs
is where they do the show upstairs is like a traditional dancing spot but they are like we
want lap dances in private for 90 we don't want to do this bullshit out here right and the guys
again we're there to like party not like you know you know. So we're like, you know, in a strip club when you give the old like, maybe later.
Yeah.
I got to get settled just to get them away.
They did not take that for an answer.
They were not about that.
They were either like you pay us or we're going to get some guys in here who will.
Oh, right.
So we quickly left after that because it's like Bert had a great moment.
Bert ever being the like party
starter yeah he and he's trying to make it into a game he says i want you to the stripper to the
stripper i want you to pick one guy here that you want to give a lap dance to and i will pay for it
and he's holding a wad of cash and he goes you pick and she goes you to burt the guy with the fucking
money who's clearly excited about right smart so yeah they are very smart they are very savvy
they know what they're doing uh burt was desperate to get somebody to to uh pay for a lady of the
night yeah uh he was like i'll pay for it you go it. I just want to hear back. I want to report.
But everybody kind of kept it above board in that regard.
Oh, really?
I don't think, I mean, listen, some of them were ladies I would just never really look at.
Not my type.
Some of them who were, all good.
But I don't really, I'm not.
You wouldn't have gone for it.
And also, I just don't have sex with a condom.
Oh, yeah, you've been married too long
no
it does suck
it sucks
it sucks
I mean you remember it
it sucks
yeah it's just not
so your options are
fuck a hooker without a condom
which is
almost for sure
gonna get you in trouble
with your wife
I'm not married anymore
but I'm just
I'm not
I'm not
I just don't have sex
with a condom
fair
fair
I usually maneuver around that and
a hooker is not the type to
That's who you got. That's not the one you want to play
that game with. We had a friend in starting
comedy and he would talk about going to Tijuana, which
is like a way lower level of this.
Yes. And he'd be like, I just pay him to go
down on them. He goes, yeah.
He goes down on them? Even they look at me like,
dude, you don't want to be. Are you sure?
Okay, so that's the red light district.
There's this other side of the city, though, that is like beautiful architecture.
Yeah.
1630 or whatever it was like first founded.
And the canals.
I never, you know, I think of Venice and it's like the city.
Oh, the canals.
Exactly.
The canals were like, I didn't, I never.
First of all, this is a region that I'm like,
okay, so we're going to Amsterdam.
And the people there are Dutch.
Are we going to the Netherlands?
Or is this Holland?
It's three things.
Or is this Belgium?
Everybody thinks Amsterdam is a country.
Yeah, absolutely.
Everybody is Holland.
Yeah.
I don't know any, I don't know where we are, what they speak, what, you know.
Where do they speak?
Dutch or German?
No, I guess so.
But I'm just saying like, is the Netherlands kind of like the like the uk like it's a bunch of countries i don't know
that's what i mean so i didn't know where we were i just found out what netherlands means
what does it mean lowlands oh okay see i feel like if i had to guess like nether regions i
would say that low regions right that makes sense because it's also like that's why it's
all underwater they have those things yeah in the water out because it's so low under sea level.
Interesting.
Fun fact.
My buddy almost fell in the canal, which would have been amazing.
Oh, that would have been great.
Could you imagine if my buddy was just floundering in the canal?
It's pretty.
It's very, and an alarming amount of bikes.
To the point that people said that, and I was like, listen, New York City has some fucking
bike lanes that are always zipping.
It's not even close.
There are bikes and they're flying every fucking which way.
Yeah.
I've never been uncomfortable crossing the street.
I'm like, we jaywalk.
I almost get hit by a bus every day.
This was like, I had to put my phone away and make sure.
I'm like, okay, where's the bikes?
Did you bike at all?
No.
No.
It's in that whole area.
I did it in Copenhagen.
And it was like, if you're in the wrong lane
like you pull up
like you know
when you start in a bike
it's wobbly
for the first two pedals
and then you get going
that wow
like what the fuck
get the fuck out of the way.
Dude there was
it was about
it's like the same
as if you're driving
like this
and you start up
in a light.
There was
I guess like
a bike lane
a sidewalk
and a street
that were all the size
of like one sidewalk.
Right.
Like the cars the people people, and the bikes
are all supposed to fit there.
I'm like, ah, this doesn't make any fucking sense.
We went to the Anne Frank house.
I've been there.
Now, I'm an idiot, I guess.
All my life growing up.
Did you not know it was related to the Holocaust?
No.
How much of an idiot were you?
What's the Holocaust?
That was when we landed.
The taxi driver
taking us to our hotel
was giving us
the lay of the land
and then out of nowhere
goes
oh
the holocaust
they are
the youth
they don't believe
it happened anymore
they're not teaching it
in the schools anymore
I was like
what
I feel like in Amsterdam
you should know
about the holocaust
you should know a little more
yeah
but I guess the kids there
think it's
I think it's a hoax.
It's a drag, like birds.
Yeah, birds aren't real.
Birds aren't real.
That's maybe my all-time favorite.
It's the best.
So the Anne Frank House, all my life growing up,
I thought was going to be like a cottage in the sound of music, like hills.
Interesting.
I did not realize.
I never pictured it in a city.
So I was thinking it was like a suburban house okay and then i hear it's in amsterdam in the city so i'm like okay and then i go to it i didn't go inside of it so to be fair i didn't get the
full experience you did not go inside no we actually the only reason i was going you just
want to see anne frank's doorstep i wanted the pancakes and i was told that the best pancakes
are the next door to the anne House, which also feels weird.
Hold on.
I said I love those pancakes.
Yeah, let's talk about the pancakes.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, because my favorite grilled cheese of all time is, I'm opening up Google Maps so I can see exactly what this is, is right under the Anne Frank House.
Is it in the coffee house, basically?
So tell me if I'm wrong, because it's been a few years.
The canal's right here. I have a picture of it on my because it's been a few years. The canal's right here.
I have a picture of it on my phone.
I took a picture.
Okay, canal's right here, right?
This is canal.
Yep.
Anne Frank House.
But the entrance to the Anne Frank House is like, oh, shit, is like up some, like right
there.
And then the coffee shop is like right where this pin is, and it's down a few steps.
As I understood it, it was like there was a coffee shop.
Is it Pancakes Amsterdam?
West Market?
Yes, that's where I was trying to go.
I didn't end up going because it was closed.
But they told me to go to Pancakes Amsterdam, which is literally right next to it.
This might be where the grilled cheese is too.
Right next to it.
It might not.
The glass right here is a coffee shop.
Oh, no, no.
It's not that.
I mean the front.
Yeah, yeah.
But this right here, this looks like a new apartment complex in Jersey City.
Yeah, it does look nice.
I could not believe.
It does look nice.
I was like,
Anne Frank's got a fucking balcony.
Anne Frank,
her apartment would cost like $4,300 a month
if it was in New York City.
That, yes.
That dude,
I had a bit about that in my special.
I couldn't believe it.
She lives so nice.
She lives so nice that if it was like, if it was like, where is Ari here?
Yeah, it's like you live right on the water.
It's beautiful.
Dude, you should go in there.
So much more room than I've ever had.
Anybody who's ever lived in New York has lived more rough than fucking Anne Frank in a break.
Yeah.
I could not believe, though.
Also, the noise complaints would be an issue, but that's about it.
Yeah, probably.
Frank, give me a break.
Yeah.
I could not believe, though.
Also, the noise complaints would be an issue,
but that's about it.
Yeah, probably.
The glass coffee store front underneath it is not considered disrespectful?
You know what?
You're absolutely right.
They should have made that more somber.
Yes.
They should have left it as is.
Yes.
Kind of run down.
Keep it up so it doesn't fall,
but keep the rundown vibe.
Keep it real.
So you feel like this is what it was.
I expected to have some like gravitas
like like a moment where i was like wow it is the most sanitary and what was crazy was when i said i
said i really love these pancakes i want the best one yeah and they go it's right next to the ann
frank house it would be like if i said like where's the best burger in the city and they were
like hit the 9-11 memorial and then get the best burger you got in town. Fucking crazy.
Anywhere else that would be like,
this is so disrespectful.
And the Anne Frank house is like,
get your pancakes here.
It's crazy.
I will be back in May
and I'm going to make sure I know
which is the right grilled cheese sandwich.
My brother told me, he lives in Europe,
and he goes, somebody went there
and he said it was a terrible grilled cheese sandwich.
I'm hoping it didn't suffer from COVID.
Maybe they just went to the wrong place. What so special about it it was like five different cheeses
it was made with care it took like
25 minutes they really
went after it and you're like this isn't amazing
I'm gonna have grilled cheese for dinner tonight you should
because you also you can do it yourself yes
you can do it yourself amazing you know what I heard
recently people do mayonnaise on the bread
instead of the butter you ever do that
no but those people should kill themselves,
right?
Yeah.
Butter,
bread,
butter,
cheese.
Give me a fucking break.
I could not believe how much the Anne Frank house disappointed.
How this place sucks.
Give me a fucking break.
And how were the pancakes?
Have you,
do you have stroopwafels?
So what are those?
It's like flat.
It's got a little caramel on the inside.
It looks like a,
like a flat pancake.
Like that.
We had the little like silver dollar pancakes separate from the inside. It looks like a flat pancake, like that thick. We had the little silver dollar pancakes.
Separate from the pancakes.
It's true.
Okay.
They come with tea or coffee.
Because they had the big crepe pancakes.
Yeah.
But then they had the little ones.
I saw a picture of it from your Instagram.
I think they're more like sharing.
Bro.
What?
People said eat the French fries and eat the pancakes.
They don't have French fries here?
That's what I said. They have to do it demonstratively better.
Not just, oh, this is where it came from.
Who gives a shit?
It's like going to the first Starbucks in Seattle.
I agree.
Go to the 18th one and get the same cup of coffee.
I agree.
But the fries were good and the pancakes were fucking amazing.
So I was kind of like, you know what?
I sit corrected.
They even said the mayonnaise.
They were like, you got to dip the fries in the mayonnaise.
And I was like, I've had fries and mayonnaise. And it
did. They were crispier,
they were better, and the mayonnaise did taste like better.
They care more. Yeah.
I will tell you what's gonna upset you the more you travel.
I think it's the FDA.
I'm not sure. But the level
of what they allow us
to serve ourselves here, it's so
much lower than almost every other
country. The eggs are all GMO.
They're all yellow instead of orange.
Everything's just worse.
So when you eat junk food in Edinburgh, you will lose weight compared to what you eat
here.
Maybe I got to leave here.
Maybe that's the key.
Those pancakes.
Who'd you get pancakes with?
My producer, Nick.
Okay.
Nick the Dick?
Yeah, Nick the Dick.
I got an order of 12 of them.
Yeah.
I'm not kidding.
I could have put down like 175 of them.
Nutella.
And those are the ones covered in Nutella.
Yeah.
And the whipped cream with some strawberries.
You can get them with apple.
You can get them with.
It was like they're puffy, like air puffy, but also.
How big were they?
What are we talking about?
Like tiny.
Tiny ones.
But a lot of them.
And I got like 12 of them.
But I could have had like four orders of that. I was a lot of them 12 of them but I could have had
like four orders of that
I was just shoveling
them in my mouth
you could have four orders
not because that's
the right amount
it's because you've
never gotten them
before and they were good
and I
yes
and I just
I got an extra stomach
for those things
I could put them down
it's fun when you're
traveling and you're like
oh I'm not gonna be
back here
let's pig the fuck out
I will say
that I didn't have
a good meal
we went to a Chinese
food place that was fine but I didn't get like and I didn't have a good meal. We went to a Chinese food place.
That was fine.
But I didn't get like, and I don't even know, some sort of strudel maybe or fucking schnitzel or whatever.
I don't think I would be impressed with the pancakes.
It's not known for cuisine, I don't think.
You know what it is?
I think it's white people.
What do you mean?
I think Italian food's great.
I think Spanish food has some flair to it,
but if you're talking-
Because those are brown whites.
Yeah.
There's some ethnic-ness to them.
Schultz had a good joke about like,
you need suffering for good food.
Probably.
If everything's nice.
Or no,
what is it?
How you mistreat your women is how good the food will be.
How good the food is.
Because it's like,
no one's ever like,
let's get some Canadian food.
It's like,
they're 100% equal in that country.
you're saying-
Women are equal,
so it's like,
who likes Canadian? The Ireland blows that up.% equal in that country. Oh, you're saying... Women are equal, so it's like, who likes Canadian?
Ireland blows that up.
The Irish blows that up.
Good point.
Terrible food, and they treat their women terrible.
Yeah, you're right.
Sorry, Schultz.
I do think, though, if you think about the UK and these parts of Europe,
I don't think anybody's like, you got to have the Belgian food.
You got to have the English food.
It's like if you're in the UK, it's like try a good Thai place.
Right.
And that's, yeah.
UK finally figured out our food sucks.
Let's be the number one of getting everyone else.
Like America.
Absolutely.
But I feel like if you go to Italy, you want the Italian food.
Spanish food, the tapas.
You know, it's almost more anywhere that's like near water
and like tropical
and shit, right?
I feel like if you're like
landlocked in Europe,
I guess France
might have good food.
France is known for it,
but also beaches on both sides.
But even if they just throw
fucking butter on everything,
that's it.
No, that's not it.
They care about it.
You think so?
But also,
I was coming back
from like Escargot
and like Duck
at like 11.30 at night
in France and Paris
and I'm walking home and I looked into some, you know know you can look in windows in New York when the ground floor
Yeah, and some guy eating on the floor with this plate on this bed, and I'm like it's not fine dining everywhere
Caviar for the first time and I don't think that has anything to do with Amsterdam
I just had never had it and Feidelberg was ordering it and I had it yeah, I don't know
It's it's about I think it and I had it. Yeah. I don't get the hype.
It's about, I think caviar is about scarcity.
Yeah.
But it didn't have much like flavor to me.
You had to put salt on it.
Yeah.
It's like this is just any other spread you can put on a cracker.
Yeah.
I'm going to try Bert and ask him.
Can we try him real quick?
Yeah, sure.
Ask him how he felt about you guys.
I was like happy that he seemed... Because I was like,
this dude parties with a lot of people.
Maybe we're going to disappoint.
It's crazy.
He was like, this is one of the funniest...
I would not have expected him to call you.
I thought he said it and he planned to do it
and then he was like, I forgot about it.
But he followed through.
Because I really was like,
I was like, is this going to happen?
And then six months go by and I was like,
he's busy, he's not going to do it.
That's the best though.
What do you forgot?
I totally, it totally blindsided me.
It was amazing.
Wow.
I was like, I'm going.
I'm doing it.
Bert, leave a message.
At the tone.
It was a fat one.
He told me he was like, it was one of the funniest the two funniest moments one of the like two of the funniest moments he ever had in his life was me watching feidelberg with me and then watching me
with feidelberg like having both of us at that at that strip club to laugh at wow while all the
crazy shit was going on i think he just appreciated how much we were like you're getting into it yeah
yeah dude when i asked him i asked because we did did Norman's bachelor party in Tampa, which is a Burt's
central place.
Oh yeah.
And it was like,
who should we invite?
I'm like,
invite Burt.
And they're like,
he's too busy.
I'm like,
I know he's too busy.
He'll be happy
having been invited.
Oh yeah.
And then he turned it open.
I'm coming.
And I'm going to
change the fucking vibe.
I was going to say.
He goes,
you're telling
bachelor party at Tampa?
He goes,
I'll cancel
big gigs for this.
He came down there with matching top and bottoms. This one, matching top and bottoms that we all went to a strip club bachelor party at Tampa he goes I'll cancel anything big gigs for this he'll you know throw his family
in a dumpster for that
matching top and bottoms
this one
matching top and bottoms
that we all went to
a strip club with
no way
with no underwear
so we could cover
our fucking pants
like gentlemen
he did
he changed out of his
sweatpants before the
strip club like a gentleman
okay
we were not allowed
in the casino
because he was wearing
sweatpants
and I kept telling him
I was like
you know he's the rich one.
You're not going to let this guy in? As rich as he is, he still is trash.
Still wearing a sweatpants?
I love that.
Yeah.
At least Tom tries to buy nice clothes.
Tries to pretend like he's not trash, at least.
Have you done Amsterdam?
Yeah, a bunch of times.
I'll be back in May.
You seem to be pretty floored by the shit I was telling you.
Had you not done any of that shit?
I took a walk down.
You just fucked the hookers. I took a walk down. I did not not done any of that shit? I took a walk down. You just fucked the hookers.
I took a walk down.
I did not fuck any of the hookers.
I took a walk down the red light district,
like going through the alleys,
and then seeing it slowly change
from the quote unquote normal ones
to darker and darker, the more outskirt alleys,
until you get like trans,
and then like not trying trans,
which is just like a dude.
This guy just has a dick with a wig on.
It's a hairy chested,
big dude with a bikini.
I don't think we,
we must've not gone that deep in because the,
you can explore a lot.
We went through like two alleys and they were all,
did you feel at all when they were like knocking and say,
come on in?
No,
it was very actually on their phone.
They were like,
they're on their phones.
They were like looking like,
yeah,
what are you out? What the fuck's the deal? And there was a couple that were like giving you. They were on their phones now. They were looking like, yeah, when are you out?
What the fuck's the deal?
And there was a couple that were giving you the eyes, and there were a couple that I was
like, oh my God.
Do you have a picture of you in front of them?
No, I feel like the one thing I read was like, don't do that.
It's tacky.
And I was like, yeah, I'm not going to.
Last thing I need is something like pimp punching me in the face.
In general, pictures with you in a scene, you and your friends who are over there in
a scene.
So if it's in front of the canals, don't just get a picture of the canal.
Like, hey, Feidelberg, come in here.
Sure.
Take a picture of us.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
To time stamp it.
But not in front of the zoo, you know.
Yeah.
What would you want to go back and do now?
In Amsterdam specifically?
I definitely would say like if
somebody's going hey I'm going I've never been you just went what should I do like that you did
or that you didn't do I mean I think if you're going to do the red light district like I find
it funnier like I said to do like the fun wild like circus shit than just like have sex with
a hooker right that would be you know if you're going to do the red light, you should do it that way. I did not go to a banana bar. I,
I feel like we,
we took a canal,
we took a boat,
a canal boat to Bert's show.
Cool.
And that was awesome.
It was very,
it's one of those,
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade,
those little low boats that are like,
low to the water,
you know? Yeah.
And it had like a little,
little bar in it,
and like a little table.
You could sit on the outside, if you wanted to, you could sit on the inside of it was too cold and
We took like a very quiet
Slow it was just like
Just like an ounce we just yeah like very slowly drifted through the canal to the to the theater. That was awesome I if there's some sort of like
sunset
Canal boat to the to a restaurant on the water sort of
thing i would i would want to do that i would want to see a little bit oh and i didn't see any van go
stuff i didn't realize that van go was like that was his spot that was his spot i i don't i didn't
know he so he's like from amsterdam i guess so i did go to the van go museum and i remember it
being cool yeah or nice like they have all his like. Oh, the ones you recognize. Yeah.
They're all here.
If you're seeing art, there's two things you're going to see.
If you're walking along like the Met or the MoMA and go, oh, I like this one.
Who made that?
Okay, I won't remember the name, but cool, I looked.
Right.
Or seeing paintings that you definitely recognize.
Like Starry Night and shit like that.
Starry Night, exactly.
The guy with the apple on his head.
You know the shit like, oh, it's that one.
Yeah, that's the one.
And then it is cool to say, I actually saw it live.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I went,
I did go on that trip
I talked about before
when I was younger
and went to England
and I was like 12.
We went to the Louvre.
We popped over to Paris
and I,
and I felt it was cool
to see some of those things
like real in the flesh.
So I,
I wish I had known about Van Gogh
because that seems cool
and I bet that there's some sort
of like architecture tour or like
if it's not into it you're not into that
every street though like
I remember I came upon like a
a courtyard almost
that had like a huge
fucking church and like
birds like flying
around in like this little center area
and like a roundabout and i was like
oh this must be like the center of the city right and then i go like two more blocks and there was
like another one of those and another one of those and another one of those and like i was every time
i thought i had found like the time square of amsterdam if you will yeah i found like another
one of those type of things so i felt like there's a lot of different squares, if you will.
Did you feel European?
Could you feel Europe?
Oh, yeah.
Big time with that.
That's the one thing.
The cities, all of the townhouses are all one after another.
They're all kind of leaning and falling because they're like 400 years old.
They're all right along this canal on a cobblestone street
and it's like this is old time european small crunched city alleyways and i like a car cars
and all that shit they don't redo them so you really are walking on the same same footsteps
that everybody else does yeah depict in your head of like and frank getting let out of there or
there's like during the occupation,
or even way before that.
It's like,
for sure.
You're like,
it's like takes you there.
It's also like 16,
whatever.
I think it was like 1630.
Yeah.
That's fucking old,
man.
That's what?
What's 1630?
Like,
that was like a lot of the,
I think when the city was founded,
or like any,
a lot of the buildings had like plaques saying the 1600s.
That's fucking old.
That's old.
And you're like, this is-
Pre-America.
Yeah, pre-America.
They're like, it was there, but nobody went.
New York was New Amsterdam at first, right?
Oh, right.
So you're thinking, I live in the city now,
that this was like, we got to replicate the old one over here.
Yeah.
There was some, and for as much as it's just like party and drugs and crazy shit,
there definitely is like a,
yeah.
Sometimes I wonder if I was not there on vacation,
like what would I do in a city?
You know what I thought was museums are just like walking.
What?
Everything felt like just restaurants and shops and bars.
I was like,
like if you worked in like a finance job,
where do you fucking go?
There was no like high rises, there was no,
but not even like, I'm not looking for a skyscraper,
I was just looking for like,
everything looked like a little building
with like a little like tiny roof,
and it's like, do you have offices here?
All it seemed like was art shops
and clothing shops and boutiques,
and I was like, is there any like industry here?
Is there any? It's almost like tourist
town. Yeah. And maybe there's
a whole section where... If the tourists go away, does this
operate? Maybe it's just like not Times Square.
I guess. But that sounds like it was bigger than that.
If you go down to Wall Street,
these are where the banks are. These are where the investment firms
are. Where
is that in Amsterdam? It just looks like everyone's
on bikes selling... I did go to that in Paris.
They're like, oh, this is the place where just really just locals live.
There's not much.
And I was like, oh, let me stay there for a few days.
And I did.
And I'm like, oh, this is incredibly boring.
Because it's just like you go to work and you go home.
There's very few coffee shops.
There's very few anything to go to.
Yeah, you want that experience.
Yeah.
Also, rubber duckies.
Unless you go to a small town.
What?
There was several rubber ducky stores.
Yeah.
And I'm saying like...
What?
Shelves and rows of rubber duckies.
Big, small, the yellow, classic rubber ducky.
And I was like,
are these actually like bowls that you can smoke out of?
Is this some sort of other thing?
I don't...
They are rubber, rubber duckies that...
I don't know.
I guess you just buy them.
And there's multiple ones.
Do you put them in the canals?
Maybe.
Maybe there's something with that.
Dude, I love little things like this where you're like, I don't know what the connection is.
And I meant to go in and ask.
But I noticed a thing.
And what is, like, that's the thing.
It was like, it's not like, got to go to the coffee shops, got to go to the red light.
But it's like, there's little noticings.
They're like, it's different than us.
We don't have rubber ducky stores.
And there was several of them that I was like.
Really?
And I wonder if that's actually considered very touristy.
Like, oh, you went to the fucking rubber duckies.
Or if it's like their thing.
Like the M&M's store?
Yeah, yeah.
But, I mean, there had to be like hundreds on the shelves.
And I was like, are you guys like selling out of rubber duckies every moment that you need to have tons of them?
are you guys like selling out of rubber duckies every moment that you need to have tons of them?
And then I also have a ton of like candy and like pastry shops because everyone's like stoned and got the fucking munchies.
So you walk into these like, you know, they do do candy, right? You scoop them into the bags and you make your own candy bags and shit like that.
That's also a touristy area.
Ice cream shops are everywhere.
And it's like not related to the country country but just like they have tons of ice cream
shops in the tourist parts of town.
People on vacation, they want ice cream.
They just want their ice cream. What would you stay away
from? In Amsterdam?
In Amsterdam. Old Amsterdam. Old New York.
Even old
New York was once New Amsterdam.
I'm trying to think of something I didn't really like.
You didn't go to Amfrank?
I would stay away from Anne Frank.
Anne Frank, sure.
It's a downer.
It's not a vacation thing.
No, truly, if you're telling me that there's also a wait to get in and all that,
maybe it's awesome on the inside,
but I can't imagine being like, that was worth the time.
Yeah.
Which is probably the worst thing you can say.
I know, but it's a downer.
Why?
Because it's just like some Jewish shit?
My dad's a survivor yeah it's just
like you can't not go right at least once i will not go again we're we're did you feel a way about
it yeah it's sad you leave feeling sad yeah that's the other thing too is like i mean it's you know
it's like an honor vacation life's not a fucking you know all like peachy keen and like you should
experience those things but also it's like i don't know i'm here for a fucking 48 hours i don't really 48 hours i'm trying to do the
holocaust you know yeah was your dad like really moved by by by the ant frank house i don't think
he went oh i thought you said oh just because your dad is a survivor you obligated to go yeah um
but i'll tell you the second time i was there that was the first time the second time i went
back to that grilled cheese to to get this grilled cheese.
And again, it might have changed.
I can't swear to this.
You know how a lot of restaurants, you got worse during COVID.
They slashed the fucking ingredients and whatever.
So I've heard bad reports.
But someone else said, it took like 30 minutes to get me a grilled cheese.
I'm like, oh, that meant they're making it.
Right, they're trying.
Yeah.
So I got to go back.
But I went, and I took too much time
I was fucking
fucked up on my phone
like checking whatever
wasted an hour
then I went there
and it was closed
and it was like
I think it's just a brunch place
and closed like three
and I'm there
down these steps
fucking going
god damn it
I've been looking forward
to this grilled cheese
for so long
for like weeks
I'm like I'm going back
and I'm almost in tears
and then other people
are also in tears but for a different reason and they're looking at me I'm like I'm going back and I'm almost in tears and then other people are also in tears
but for a different reason
and they're looking at me
I'm like I know right
I know
grilled cheese
I know man
I know
they're taking it
a little harder than me
but only slightly
everybody's got a
fucking tissue for you
because you're
fucking grilled cheese
that's hilarious man
what else would you avoid
I
maybe it's nothing
I don't know
no I mean yeah
I you know I feel like doing What else would you avoid? Maybe it's nothing. I don't know. No, I mean, yeah.
You know, I feel like doing the Red Light District,
like, I wouldn't do it solo.
I feel like that would be weird. I feel like it's a place to go with friends
and do the crazy sex stuff.
That's a good tip.
Because if you're going to go, like, solo,
I think there are better places.
That's the Van Gogh Museum.
Yeah.
Go solo to that. Yeah. And then, I think there are better places. That's the Van Gogh Museum. Yeah. Go solo to that.
Yeah.
And then in general, there are probably better cities with better museums and architecture
and stuff to see.
But I don't know.
I'm sure if I had more time to really explore the architecture, the certain parts of town,
the canals, all of that, it can go toe-to-toe with any other European city.
So I would go more of that, and I would probably avoid, you know,
like I think it's incredibly lame to fly like around the world to fuck a hooker.
Right.
Like why don't you just do that here, you know?
I guess it's a little more accessible there, but I don't know.
If you really want to do it, you can do it.
Every city you go to, it's going to break down to this.
You're going to go for the sights or you're going to go for the experience.
The scene, yeah.
Yeah, the scene. So like Egypt, obviously, you're going go for the sites or you're gonna go for the experience scene yeah yeah the scene so like egypt obviously you're gonna see this the pyramids it's like that's
crazy not to but if you're going to prague you might see a site or two but like oh i heard it's
a good party scene here new york you don't have to see the empire state building for coming here
right really sure if you want to cross it off your list but i don't go there you don't go there
yeah it was so funny living in new york like York I've still never gone to the Statue of Liberty
yeah
me neither
I never had gone up
to the Empire State Building
my father eventually
worked at the building
so then I saw it
but I never went
as a tourist
yeah but what do you
want to do
there's tons of bars
tons of restaurants
walk the streets
that's the shit
that is
go to a jazz bar
walk the streets
of the village
and fucking bounce
in and out of bars
and it seems like Amsterdam
while it has the sights
could also be like
oh I want to hang out
like
oh yeah
but one of them is
and you didn't talk about this at all
like the coffee shops
yeah so the coffee shops
what I loved about that
and I was told this going in
I'm not
I don't smoke a lot of weed
and the weed in America
has gotten to the point
where I take one hit
and I'm like yeah and I was told that the weed over america has gone to the point where i take one hit and i'm like
yeah and i was told that the weed over in amsterdam while it's all legal and everything
they kind of stayed at that mid-level and i love that yeah because i was able to like
pass a joint around and smoke it and get the feeling but not be like i need to go to fucking
sleep right now yeah why is obliterated the state we're going into
even in a drug that wasn't legal before you know it's like i don't get obliterated i want to have
a good time and like if you eat an edible i want to like eat the edible i don't have to like
nibble the cough of the cookie i'm gonna have a whole brownie i want to fucking enjoy it what
was that period of time when we couldn't get booze here prohibition prohibition yeah so imagine now
you're overseas in france where there's no prohibition and like oh you can get alcohol here
it's like sweet
grab a bottle of Jack
and just start chugging it
yeah right
what are you doing dude
that's not the way to do it man
so yeah
the coffee shop
went to Bulldog
which I think is like
the very popular one
but I also think like
the best one
it's one of those examples
of like
it's not maybe the
the hole in the wall
but it's also
like the best
I think it's franchised at
this point all around the world oh really but um being able to get a beer and a joint is fucking
awesome the ones i liked about the coffee shops where once i realized okay you can just get weed
it's fine it's cool yeah um then it's like it became more like the bars of new york where like
what's the playlist so like, this is a club club.
This is a fucking country bar.
This is a classic R&B.
And it's like, oh, that's the vibe I'm looking for.
And so I found a coffee shop that was like mellow music,
like Mazzy Star, kind of like just chill.
And I sat there and I read and I'm like, oh, this is the environment I'm looking for.
That I could do more of.
So we were in a big group.
So it was very like, let's get a round of beers.
Let's light this joint up, pass it around. I around i could see get me one of these coffee shops get me some of these pancakes for breakfast smoke a joint read the paper and just be chill yeah i mean
that that is probably what i would try to find a shop that doesn't play reggae yeah an obvious one
a little bit of that there was there was i did we have a moment, we were at a bar to close the night
and they had been playing like techno music
and pop music
and it was a weird eclectic mix
and then they played Bob Marley.
Yeah.
And then they played One Love
and Everything's Gonna Be Alright
and it was like everybody,
it was to end the night kind of,
everybody was perfectly like buzzed.
Yeah, in tune.
And it was,
that was a good moment.
That was enjoyable.
He is great. It's just like, It's cliche. It's a little too typical totally you know what else is interesting and this saved me
uh being being kind of coming out of retirement for partying and not really uh doing it as much
i think weekends they go to like four in the morning weekdays it's like 1 30 oh really so i
was like i had hit my limit
and burt was peer pressuring me like a motherfucker to stay out and all of a sudden like you're in the
worst cliche american bar semi-sonic closing time comes on and the lights come on and they're like
you got to get out and i normally i it's like i hate that i It was like God was shining upon me to fucking let me go home that night.
But the coffee shops were the perfect bar for my age now.
I'm not dancing.
I don't want to buy a table at a club.
But I do want to get a spot, eat some fries, drink a little, smoke a little, relax.
Yeah.
You just called. I just fucking missed him. Drink a little. Yeah. Smoke a little. Casual. Relax. Yeah. He just called.
I just fucking missed him.
Ah.
Fuck.
Feidelberg, we went to one of the places to buy mushrooms.
Yeah.
And they have those like the truffle fresh.
It's not the freeze dried.
What?
No.
How did it fail?
What are you, an idiot?
It just failed.
You're not going to answer your fucking phone?
I just did it.
Come on.
You conniving little Jew.
You can't even open up a phone.
Damn it.
Oh, I want to get him on here because I want to hear.
Hello?
Hey, there he is.
Brad.
What's up?
I'm here with KFC.
Vidalberg got drunk at football and couldn't come.
Dude, this trip sounds so cool.
It was awesome, Artie.
It was really awesome.
I mean, you know how much I love trying to hate you publicly,
but this was such a cool get on a plane right now.
When I explained the whole, you know, how it all unfolded and how you gave us 24 hours,
I could see in his face that he wanted to be like, fuck Bert.
But he was like, this is awesome.
This is incredible.
You know, it's so funny.
Ari, I texted you like a few months ago and I said, hey, would you be up to going to London for
a couple days?
And you were like, no, I can't.
I know.
I was just telling them, I've lost my level of complete freedom.
Wow.
It's how I'm about to go on the road for six weeks, and I'm like, I can't do those last
two days.
I can't do it.
But it sucked.
I felt bad.
Going on the road for six weeks?
How do you do it, Ari?
That's so crazy.
Meanwhile, Bert's been on the road for six years.
No returns, six weeks?
I mean, whatever.
How fucking fun was Amsterdam with these guys, Brad?
It was a blast.
Every top to bottom.
Like, even the day before I celebrated Winston Churchill Day.
So I had a full day of drinking the day before.
And they woke me up at 9 a.m.
And they're like, you need to work out.
They're going to be here in 20 minutes.
And they rolled in cold beers right to the bulldog.
We had a bulldog with cold beers joint.
I mean, Ari, our night was so crazy.
Casinos, Chinese food, dressed in red, gambling, a banana room,
a celebrity appearance at the end of the fucking night.
Random as fuck. Random as fuck?
Random as fuck?
A celebrity just comes out of nowhere and goes, I'll catch that dildo.
Who's the celebrity?
The lead singer of Rammstein?
Kevin Connolly from Entourage.
E from Entourage.
Really?
Yep.
What?
How'd you leave that out, motherfucker?
I forgot.
I forgot.
It was wild.
Out of nowhere, he just shows up at the Banana Room and he's like, we need someone to catch this flying dildo.
And he's like, I'll catch this dildo.
What?
He catches it, fucking throws it in his shirt,
and next thing you know, he's on a flight at 10 a.m.
We're partying until fucking 4 in the morning with him at a bar
down in the red light district on the canal.
It was unbelievable, dude.
Wow.
He rolled in and was like, I just wanted to say hi.
I'm just going to have a beer.
Next thing you know, he's catching a dildo and riding it out to like yeah i think he went straight to the
airport dude you put on such a fucking party dude i was so he said he goes as soon as we got there
9 a.m and i was like i was thinking oh restaurant no we were at the bar before i even could put my
my bags in my room i burt i was i was happy to like i wasn't sure you't sure how hard you guys go
and how much fun you have.
I was like, we really got to make sure
we live up to the hype.
It sounds like you had a good time with us.
I was happy that we put on a good enough performance.
We had a great time with you.
The picture you posted the next day
of you passed out on the escalator
in the moving sidewalk.
You had us rolling.
You've got to decide who am I going to invite. You invited these guys passed out on the escalator in the moving sidewalk. Yep, yep. Fucking had us rolling. Yeah, yeah.
Because you've got to decide
who am I going to invite.
You invited these guys
right there, fucking,
because they could have easily
been like,
no, I just want to walk around.
Like, right there.
No, it was, dude,
we had,
we had the,
my assistant from my movie
was my tour,
our tour guide.
So she took us
to all the beautiful places.
They saw the city.
They went around. They got the city. They went around.
They got the views.
We went all over Amsterdam.
And then we ended up,
I mean, we ended up in the red light district.
Naturally.
I mean, honestly.
You gotta see.
Having these,
like those moments that you have
when you go,
the next morning when you wake up
and you're hungover as fuck
and you smile and you go,
God, we had a good night.
Yeah, we did. Yep, it was exactly what it was, man. It was so good. Four of them. when you wake up and you're hungover as fuck and you smile and you go god we had a good night
yeah it was exactly what it was man it was so good more of them more of those moments in that trip
in that night in that night just that night at the very end of the night i had four moments where i was like this can't get any crazier and then he rolls in i fucking, I'll catch that dill-eye.
Dude, you know those in the back of the fucking plane magazines where they go,
the chick from The Office is a perfect two days in London or whatever.
Mindy Kaling's, oh, that's also The Office.
You know, it's great two days.
But like the Burt Kreischer 48 hours in Amsterdam with Burt.
That should be the selling point.
It's like I got invited by the machine to come to Amsterdam to party.
Here were my two days.
That is fucking bucket list shit right there.
It really was.
Yeah.
Each one of those could be a great time.
I got to give it up for Kevin.
He was out.
He tried to pull the Irish goodbye at one point on the first night and was like, and I was like, no, you don't bring the beer.
He caught me.
He was like, we are drinking all the beer
in Amsterdam
I was like
well yes sir
understood
I'm staying
can't say no
that's so great
when you see
someone about to dip
like what are you doing
yep
dude it was
it was
I mean
eating bananas
out of pussies
eating the
same fucking dildos
it was the fucking
craziest
time you could have
it was
and you know what Amsterdam was perfect because there were so many different fucking dildos. It was the fucking craziest time you could have. It really is.
And you know what?
Antenna Day was perfect
because there were
so many different
events in that day,
including going
to the saddest casino
I've ever been
in my entire life.
It was so bad.
Me winning $1,800.
What?
It was just fucking
off the bottom of my head.
Well, we also forgot
that we were partying
on like a Wednesday.
So we walk into the casino
and it was just,
I've never felt a place that had worse vibes.
It was like brown and sad and quiet.
And they would let Bird in with his sweatpants.
And we almost just said, fuck it.
We're not going to go in at all.
But one of the rules of Chinese New Year
is you have to gamble.
You have to place a bet.
So we powered through.
I lost $1,000. I lost $1,000.
I put $1,000 on red.
Immediately, we lose.
And Feidelberg starts puking from the mushrooms in the casino.
You lost $1,000 immediately?
If I lost $1,000, I would have shot up a ballroom.
It was like, it was just, the vibes were off.
And then all of a sudden, Bert hit and he won.
It was funny.
He was going, you know what the worst part is I don't even feel anything I don't even get a rush from
winning or losing I just feel nothing and then his bet hits and he goes oh I feel it I was lying
I was lying to all you I feel it I feel it it was awesome it was the perfect it was the perfect
energy because the whole thing started on a lark.
On like a genuine moment in a podcast where I was like, you guys will go if I call you.
And they're like, yeah.
And so then immediately I was like, we have to do this.
And we planned it twice.
We were originally going to take them to Morocco.
And then that fell through because I had to do something with my parents or something.
And then this one came in perfect.
It just fit in perfectly.
We had three days off in Amsterdam. And I was like, and then they then and then this one came in it just fit in perfectly three days off
in amsterdam and i was like and then they came to the show one of the i mean honestly one of
the funny shows maddie smith came out we flew maddie out maddie was like murder maddie was like
uh was like the cocaine sprinkled on the joint that woman is so much positive energy yep yep
oh yeah she's like this is great your guys great. The show, top to bottom, Mark, Maddie,
Shane, and you was unbelievable.
Shane and Mark were there?
Shane Torres and
Mark Smalls.
Me, Maddie Smith. Mark Smalls was great.
Mark had a bit too many
mushrooms early in the day.
Hold on, hold on.
That's the best moment of the whole book.
It really was.
Low-key overdoses on mushrooms in the middle of the day.
Okay?
And then he just disappears.
And they're like, we lost him.
We don't know where he is.
So we walk out of the banana room, all these guys.
We're just looking for the next thing.
All of a sudden, we see all the girls were met.
And then Mark shows up out of fucking nowhere.
The reappearance
we were taking
what?
you just found him?
we were taking a group picture
and all of a sudden
we got Mark
his
when he
I swear to God
it was like the resurrection
of Christ
like we were like
Mark has returned
he hath returned
that's great
it was
it was a very fun moment
it was
the girls who
we have video of this.
I'm sure that you guys will put it up on a blog.
I'm sure we'll try to put it up on a blog.
But I mean, it was so fucking fun.
I'll tell you what, right now, Bert,
Feidelberg is in the hurt shop.
Because we came home the next night
we did Louis C.K. at the Garden.
So he was drinking for that.
He went out yesterday for Sunday football.
We come into work today, and I was like, bro, I think you got to go to the hospital.
I mean, he is hurting.
It was all worth it, though, man.
It was the most organic thing that has ever come about.
And, I mean, I thanked you a million times for it, but I can't thank you enough.
It was really incredible, man.
Dude. No, it was awesome. And, hey, I thanked you a million times for it, but I can't thank you enough. It was really incredible, man. Dude.
No, it was awesome.
And hey, there's the beauty.
Bert, I am home from June till the end of October.
Please call me on 24 hours notice.
Dude, Bert, you were talking about, I was thinking about it, Bert, because you said
how you think it could honestly be like a series.
I think if you called the show 24, I know you might have some trouble.
Yeah, just something with 24 where the whole idea is you got to go in 24 hours.
I really think there's something there, man.
It was such good content.
We were talking about it because the first thought was like, what if I don't have underwear?
What if I don't have clothes?
The laundry needs to be done.
It's like, just get it there.
Just figure it out.
Any of your issues are really not issues.
Nope.
You can just go.
Yep.
No, they're not issues. We saw
Feidelberg's cape.
That's right. Feidelberg had a cape.
I said we went to this
abracadabra place and he had a red cape
on top of it. That outfit was sick.
He looked awesome in those bell bottoms. That was
unbelievable. It was top
to bottom unbelievable. I'm jumping into
a Google meeting right now. I love

It's so much to remember.
It is.
And then we have someone else.
I'm forgetting fucking Kevin Connelly popping in.
Dude, he caught the dildo and inexplicably just went like this.
And he puts it down his shirt.
What?
And then immediately he was like,
why did I do that?
Why did I do that?
This is gross.
This is gross.
Yeah, fucking vile, man.
Yeah, it was like an episode of entourage it was like you know
we're with the boys and then this happened and then that happened and so for for someone who
doesn't travel it was like zero to a hundred man it really was fucking sick it was dude
god get burt to take you next yeah he invited it was just like so we so obviously you know
how can you return the favor right it's like yeah, it doesn't work the other way, right?
Yeah.
So we said, what if we just show up at one of his places?
And say, we're going out.
Yeah.
And we do it at Shreveport.
You know what I mean?
It's not some glorious place.
And all of a sudden, you're on set.
And if he's like, no, no, I can't.
I got to do this.
You don't need more.
No, no, no.
I'll give you 24 hours.
Get your shit together.
And then meet me at the dive bar in fucking Omaha
or whatever the fuck it is.
Did you see Aziz's Mark Twain speech for Chappelle?
I feel like I did, but what?
When Chappelle was like, take these mushrooms.
He goes, no, I can't have this.
He goes, do you want to say this is the night
you did not do mushrooms with Dave Chappelle?
He got to say this.
All right.
That was exactly, somebody, a lot of people said to me
when he extended the invite,
he kind of did it like a challenge.
Like you have 24 hours to reply.
And people were like, are you going to go?
I was like, am I going to?
Yeah, that was your poet.
It was like, I have to.
I'm going to fucking go.
When Bert calls you, he says, let's go.
You go.
And you know what?
God was shining down upon me because he did it on a Monday.
And that is usually, like I have my kids on the weekend.
And then usually Monday, Tuesday is when I'm off.
And so it was like the stars aligned.
I'm going. And so it was like the stars aligned. I'm going.
It was absolutely unreal.
Dude, me and Bert used to talk about this.
We were on the Joker's cruise a long time ago.
2017 maybe.
And we were like, how cool would it be to drug a comic.
He said this.
He said this.
But not for the party to put him out
and leave him somewhere.
Leave him in like
on an island in Cambodia.
Yeah.
And it's like,
we're on tour,
drop him off on this tour,
like we're on a cruise
and now you're just
on an island.
You wake up.
You take his ID,
you give him a few dollars
to get by
and then it's like,
find your way home.
Because we waited out
and we were like,
the joy,
if nothing goes crazy wrong in your life, like was like my brother's wedding was tomorrow i missed that as long as that doesn't
happen the adventure to get home and to do all the things would be irreplaceable in life you
realize how like even so i didn't even think twice about um my phone or my credit card like i got
there and my phone wasn't working.
Great.
Right?
And I was trying to get money at the casino and it wasn't working.
And it was kind of like, yeah, like, I don't know.
I mean, I ended up just like calling these places and figuring it out.
But there's something fun about like if you're, if you really, if you didn't have your shit,
you didn't know where you were, live like, you know, live like they did a couple hundred years ago.
Figure it the fuck out.
Here's your ID and a hundred dollars. Go ahead, get home. Or don't. Get, you know, get wherever. Start a life there. I don't ago. Figure it the fuck out. Here's your ID and $100.
Go ahead, get home.
Or don't.
Get wherever.
Start a life there.
I don't know.
Right, right, right.
Get your new underwear. Because you will eventually.
But what an adventure
to learn a language
and then be able
to find a consulate.
You wake up on a fucking island
with a ghost.
I think Bert said this too.
It would be a note like,
hey, this is Bert and Ari.
We drugged you
and taken all your stuff.
Don't fear. You're in no danger. You're in a pretty safe country and Ari. We drugged you, we're taking all your stuff. Don't fear,
you're in no danger.
You're in a pretty safe country.
Right.
Safe enough.
Yeah, don't go to the city.
Don't go to Guatemala City,
but any of the other towns are great.
And then just like,
talk to you when you get back.
So what,
if Bert were to call you
or someone were to do this with you,
what city would you hope it would be?
With Bert and me,
I hope it's somewhere exotic.
Not Europe. I hope it's somewhere exotic. Not Europe.
I hope it's Asia or Morocco.
What is Morocco like?
Morocco is like tropical
or it's like-
Warm, but I don't know for sure.
It's on the coast of Africa?
It's in here.
It's like, yeah.
Oh, okay.
I thought it was
on the other side of Africa.
There's Algiers.
That's Morocco, right?
So that's almost more
like Mediterranean-ish.
But like Northern Africa.
But Africa.
So it's not...
I thought it was like on the eastern
or the western side of Africa.
So I thought it was like truly...
Borneo.
If he's like,
we're going to Borneo tomorrow.
Papua New Guinea or fucking...
I've never been to Laos.
Where's the...
What do you consider
the most exotic place you've been?
Either Myanmar,
which is down here, Rangoon, yeah.
Or East Timor.
Have you ever been to Newark, New Jersey?
It's probably one of those.
Crazy.
There's so many fucking places to go in the world.
It's wild.
These little islands for the-
Have you done like Fiji?
Have you done like those?
Not Fiji, the other one.
Maldives?
No, maybe Fiji.
It's, do I have a thing for it?
Have you done Dubai? No, I just turned downiji. Do I have a thing for it? Have you done Dubai?
No, I just turned down gigs in Dubai.
Really?
I feel like that's...
It seems like you want to go.
Well, it's turned into this influencer fucking whatever,
but I also feel like it's a very man-made...
Yeah, that's why I'm not interested.
There's no culture.
There's no culture that I'm interested in,
but I also think that they probably built it right
and there's a lot of cool shit.
It's Vegas.
Yeah.
It's a country of Vegas.
It's like we're going to party or whatever,
but you're not actually in Vegas.
The island that looks like a palm tree.
Tahiti.
That's where it is.
Tahiti.
Tahiti.
I went there for New Year's a couple years ago.
Yeah.
I'd like to get back to the Amalfi Coast.
That was fucking unbelievable.
Amalfi Coast.
You know who just went there?
Santino.
You've got to talk to him about it.
Oh,
I did.
So I did.
I asked everybody,
where do you want to go next?
I did Santorini,
uh,
Positano,
uh,
Capri.
Yeah.
And I would honestly go back to any of those.
Uh,
but yeah,
that like the Mediterranean to me is unbelievable.
Whether it's Greece,
Italy,
whatever I,
that was so fucking incredible that that was like where I was like,
all right,
I get that.
I got it.
I understand traveling now.
It was a time where I was kind of like,
what's the difference?
It's all about people.
It's all about your experience,
whether you do it here,
you do it there,
who cares?
And it's like,
no,
if you do,
if you have the right people and you're doing it overlooking like these
fucking beautiful landscapes and seascapes and stuff it's like no yeah it's also it's newness combined with vacation combined
so it's like oh let's go nut let's eat nice like things and also like whoa where are we yeah you
know what i thought was interesting as a more well-versed traveler maybe you can speak to it
i thought customs was like a thing to worry
about yeah like i feel like here or there both yeah i thought like we didn't like bring anything
either direction but like if we wanted to we absolutely could have especially coming home
i was thinking like oh coming home from a place like amsterdam they're gonna like check it was
like wow keep it coming this is the exact kind of like travel like um uh noticing whatever the word
observation that i'm looking for where it's like you're not gonna remember this in two years no
but when i was packing i was like i had like um one of those like pill cases that has like
a couple advil and a couple of modium and i was like they would have gone through it
i thought so too i was like because these are just stray pills modium. And I was like, they would've gone through it. I thought so too. I was like, cause these are just straight pills.
And after the fact,
I was like,
Oh my God,
I shouldn't have packed that.
What do I do?
And they were just like,
I don't care.
That's what I know about China.
China.
They did it or did not punishable by death.
Right.
And then they don't check you.
I guess they're like,
you're going to take that risk.
Yeah.
I think they're not going to take.
So it's just,
yeah.
I mean,
I finished all my edibles on the plane throughout the rest of the plane
and then I was like not even a dog
nothing
they didn't even
put it through a machine I don't think
whatever
I had visions of us
getting detained for
I left a fucking edible in my pocket
or whatever I'm going to get Brittany Griner
even if I did I don't think anybody fucking...
I smoked on the way back from Amsterdam,
like while I was waiting for the cab,
and I was smoking outside, so it's cold,
so it's like, you know, smoke sticks to you
when it's cold, cigarettes or otherwise,
and I got in the plane, and the cab driver was like,
hey, dude, and this was seven, 10 years ago,
and he goes, oh, hey, they're all going to check you,
you can't smuggle weed back, and I'm like, I'm not going to, and then we drove another two minutes, and he was like, hey, and he goes oh hey they're all gonna check you you can't smuggle weed back
and I'm like
I'm not going to
and then we drove
another two minutes
and he was like
hey dude
I'm not joking
you're gonna get
in a lot of trouble
and I'm like
I'm not taking anything
Amsterdam
and I'm like
oh no dude
I just smell
I'm not taking anything
got it
I mean maybe
you know
I guess it's like
if they do decide
or if they put it
through the x-ray
and they see something
you're fucked.
But I was kind of like, oh, boy, what happens now?
And nothing.
Nothing happens now.
I mean, it's like driving drunk.
You'll probably get away with it.
Yeah, you're right.
But the deterrence.
You know, we were going into Amsterdam and Matty was ahead of me talking with the guy who said the fat one.
He was like behind the glass checking the passports.
But then three like Dutch soldiers, I guess, came walking at me.
And they just were like, we needed to get by, you know.
But there was this moment where the three of them were looking at me and walking at me.
And I had nothing on me, but I was just like, what's going to happen now?
What's going to happen now?
And they were just like, excuse me, sir.
And I was like, right this way.
I literally, I'm not sure.
I think that's how black people feel every time they see a cop.
Every single day of their life.
No, why?
Please don't.
Okay, never mind.
We're good.
Yeah, sounds about right.
You ever have a cop pulled next to you when you're driving?
You're like, shit.
Every time.
I don't have any drugs.
I'm driving the speed limit.
I'm fine.
Totally.
But still, you're nervous.
Every time. Every fucking time. And then, yeah, they don't even shoot us. They don't have any drugs. I'm driving the speed limit. I'm fine. Totally. But still you're nervous. Every time.
Every fucking time.
And then they don't even shoot us.
They don't do anything.
So Amalfi Coast you'd go back to.
Totally would go back there.
Where else?
Where have you never been that you'd like to go?
You don't have to hold to this.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But what's on your mind?
I would like to go to Australia.
And what used to deter me was the distance.
But I've decided
if and when I start
doing more of this stuff,
I'm just going to pay
the money for first class.
Or like,
I mean,
Australia might be
a little bit too much,
but to me,
I hate the plane
and I hate the crampness
and it almost makes it
ruin it for me.
So I'm just going to fucking
pony up the extra money and it's worth it. I for me. So I'm just going to fucking pony up the extra money.
I went to Australia first class once.
And what does that cost?
$25,000.
I was going to say that's a bit too much.
If you tell me like, you know, the flight is two grand, but first class is 10 grand.
I'm lucky enough that I can just say, fuck it, I'll do it.
But 25 is a bit much.
But also the flip side is like 20 fucking four hours
on like a non first class flight
is like put a bullet in my head.
Dude,
on the way back to,
it was a Rogan UFC ticket.
I didn't pay for it.
Rogan didn't pay for it.
It's a free companion
first class ticket.
And then they expanded so much.
They're like,
well,
we didn't expect this.
So who's your friend?
Right.
Literally Dana White
comes up to me
at the event,
I think in Australia.
It was like,
Hey,
do you know how much
your fucking ticket costs?
Yeah.
You better bring some fucking value with you if you send me back
there you don't think i'm gonna use twelve thousand dollars i desperately dude desperately
yeah cash value please i don't know but when you show up and everyone's like this a customer's like
yeah and you're just like brutal i'm good to go yeah let's go i think so one way or another I'd like to get there I kind of want to go like
in like
this area like I don't even
know what this is like India kind of place
like but more like
like what's like here
yeah is there anything like there like
any islands that are like
you know what's around here I think
the fucking islands you can't go to because they'll just
spear you
kill you
yeah
like they don't let
any people
yeah
like somebody tried once
and then like
they're like nah
oh no
here right here
Madagascar
I could fuck around
Madagascar
that would be cool
I could do that
that would be cool
maybe see a little bit
more of South America
and when I say more
I mean any
because I've never been there
I can give you some tips
about South America
yeah I bet you could.
The stupidest moment of my life.
Yeah.
I was writing a blog back in the day about, I think it was when SARS was hopping.
Ironically, it was about like pandemics and shit.
Yeah.
And I opened up a map, and my joke or my thought process was, how about every time you fly
to like Africa or whatever,
if you have some place where there's disease, you have to stop at a place before you come
back to America.
And I opened up a map, and I didn't realize that it was capitals were listed.
And it said Hamilton, which is the capital of Bermuda.
Okay.
And I go, what the fuck is Hamilton Island?
Just off the coast of America in the middle of the Atlantic? How have I never heard of Hamilton Island? Just off the coast of America in the middle of the Atlantic. How have I never
heard of Hamilton Island?
And I'm like writing this blog being like, has anybody ever been
to Hamilton Island? Blah, blah, blah, blah.
Going on and on about it, realizing it's just fucking
That's why we're like, you goddamn moron.
Everyone's saying the same thing.
Such a fucking idiot.
Oh, and I would like to see the
Northern Lights. I want to go up to
Alaska. You don't want to go to that.
We'll wrap it up now.
But for that, to really get it, you got to go for like a week.
To make sure you like see it.
And like get one of those huts that like you're underground with a big.
Yes, the bubble.
Uh-huh.
Yep.
And all you're doing there is going for the Northern Lights.
Because my friends who live in Iceland, they're like, oh, I see it three times a year.
Yeah, yeah.
But off my back porch.
Right.
But it's like you got to get lucky.
Right.
So you got to be out and you got to do it all the time.
Right, right, right, right. So I would like to try to go see that
I would love to see the Northern Lights
if I don't see it I would hope that there's still enough
that I'd be like this was still cool
but that is one thing I do think I want to see
if I'm 88 and I'm on my deathbed
I would regret way more
not seeing the Northern Lights than not having kids
like a small part of me
would be like what if i had had children
but i wanted to see those things in the sky oh and you know what uh i feel like seeing like
yellowstone or like the the nicest part of america i think it'd be weird to be in america and never
have seen like the beauty part of america just like the city the shitty cities of america yeah

Sick.
Well, that's the episode, everybody.
I hope you had a good time.
I know I enjoyed that.
What a wild trip.
You know, you can say what you want about Bert.
You can say whatever you want.
He's a fat piece of shit.
He's a bad father.
He blows stories out of proportion.
He looks to victimhood.
He's like a laughable man in his friend group.
He's made a lot of money letting his friend laugh at him.
He's absentee.
He's an alcoholic.
He's fat.
He's a braggart.
Bad dresser.
Bald.
Underrated bald.
Here's where I always used to hat.
He values money over substance.
But whatever you want to say about him, he does know how to have a good time.
And what a fun trip that seemed like it was.
God, he's living his life right.
He's such a fat, bald, bad father, bad alcoholic, fucking laughable to his friend group,
braggadocious liar, values money
over friendship person, he does have
a good fucking time.
Thank you KFC for coming
in. Everybody make sure to check out his
podcast. I'm on there all the time.
Probably been on there five different times.
Six different times. Check that out.
Um,
called KFC Radio.
A lot of funny comments on there constantly.
And he also does the
Answer the Internet series.
It's always really good.
I do have some bad
news for you.
I do have some bad news for you about Amsterdam.
I've been back since we recorded this podcast.
I've been back.
And unfortunately, maybe you heard it in my double negative special from Austin, Texas, before I moved there.
Talk about the grilled cheese place.
It's right next to the Anne Frank House.
And I went back.
The last time I was there, it was closed.
It was closed at 3 p.m.
It's a brunch spot. And I was crying outside the Anne Frank House. I was literally I was there, it was closed. It was closed at 3 p.m. It's a brunch spot.
And I was crying outside the Anne Frank.
I was literally crying as other people were coming by.
Crying for different reasons.
And they were like, it's sad, right?
I'm like, it is sad to come all this way to the Netherlands and not to get here in time.
Because I was on my phone too much.
I was on my phone too much.
And I missed the fucking window to get that grilled cheese sandwich.
But this time I was not going to make that mistake, and I went by there,
and I got the grilled cheese, and it wasn't good.
I heard reports on this from my brother, and I said, no, that's just going to be complaining Jews.
Come to find out
the restaurant's under new ownership and new management, and it's just
one type of cheese with store-bought bread on a foreman grill.
It's dead, everybody.
I had a time, and it was gone.
I'll never be back.
I'll never be able to recreate that great of grilled cheese.
I'm telling you, it was three different kinds of cheese,
a freshly just grilled tomato on there. It was just
amazing. It was amazing. But it's gone. There's a time and place and that time and place is over
now. That time is over. That place is still there, but the time is over. So I urge you all to make
your own paths. Make your own paths. Figure it out for yourself. Yeah.
I don't know what to tell you.

starting the Patreon
here's what I'm going to do in it
I hope you guys are going to enjoy it
I'll be on next week
I'm the guest next week talking about China
a fun fun fun trip to Shanghai
and Beijing. I'm going to leave out Hong Kong, because
they will be free someday soon.
This video
will now not be shown in China, because I said that.
First thing we're going to do is,
what I want to do is, everybody get stickers.
You'll be tripping stickers
with the stamp. And I want you to put those
stickers up in odd places, and then take pictures of it and send it in and tell me where they were.
I'm going to do that. I'm going to have a lot of fucking fun with it. It's going to
be more about fun, less about money. I want you to write in your travel stories yourself.
Call in. We're going to have a Stav-style call-in thing. Someone will go through and I can hear
them on air. I want you to send in postcards
that I can read
on the Patreon.
I'll give you a
place to mail it in on the Patreon.
From wherever you'll go, see some weird stamps.
Mail in some dollar bills,
money from everywhere, drew it up.
And that's it. I'm going to do blogs, picture blogs, places I've been. I'm going to do audience
write-ins and all sorts of stuff. The Patreon is coming next
week, so I'll tell you about it next week.
And that's it, I think. Today's episode
is produced by Your mom's house network.
Done very well.
It is edited by...
Who edited this one?
Chris Larson?
No.
Is it Alan?
If it's Alan, he's just an editor.
If it's Chris Larson, he's raised money for communist causes. Just an editor.
If it's Chris Larson, he's raised money for communist causes all over third world countries.
And he's been a part of trying to overthrow those governments and put in communist regimes in multiple areas.
He's gotten a lot of service spending, a lot of danger.
That's Chris Larson's fault, but he believes in something.
And that's important.
Alan, however, has no last name,
and he is an editor.
That's it, everybody.
That's it. Hope you had a good time.
I...
Yeah. Till next week with China.
No, I know this.
I know this. I know it. I know it.
Amsterdam.
Letak? No, that's thank you. Fuck and shit. Well, keep tripping, everybody. I know in Amsterdam. I let it talk. No, that's thank you.
Fuck and shit.
Well, keep tripping, everybody.
