It might not air for the first time. If you don't know, there's a podcast about travel. We talk about a different place all over the world. And I've been to some places. My name's Ari Shafir. So I thought I gotta get some people to interview me a little bit about some places I've been. And let's try one with the fucking main man, the long haired wonder

It also be pretty sick. Toby McMullen. Yeah. Good point. Uh, Toby McMullen Scott, the Scotch warrior. How about that? Yeah. Last name on it. Okay. Yeah. It's been a while since I've recorded an episode of anything. Yeah. You know, people want to, people ask, they're like, how do you,

how do you get into comedy? How do you break into podcasting? What you want to do is you want to really help someone build a studio and then ruin the first episode in such a way that you now have to interview them. It wasn't ruined, it was good. Yeah, well we'll see if it comes out. We'll see if it comes out. Yeah, some technical issues. We had a lot of flooding in between that one and two months later and now. All right, but let's get it. So you're gonna interview me and where do you want where have you wondered this is Experiment, I don't know if I should guide people or not. So I say let's keep it open-ended Okay, you asked me where and then from now on if it doesn't work out that way

Maybe I could be like hey, here's some questions. You should ask me or whatever. Yeah, we're really free balling it here So I've been everywhere I'll tell you countries if I China Australia I'll tell you countries if I China Australia Fuck what a whole lot of boys through this yeah, yeah, yeah, Thailand Myanmar Cambodia really run through East Timor Ireland Iceland Norway Sweden I might have stories for all these but we'll try Austria Hungary now Romania. England obviously, Paris was

just in Merida. Man I'm like excited when I make it out to Brooklyn I'm like I really traveled today. Where do you want to know about? What's piqued your interest at all about anything? Have you ever been to Russia? Never been to Russia. That's a good one. So alright it's a good place to start. What this is really showing me is how illiterate I am geographically. Well the weirdest one that I think is Kazakhstan, how fucking huge it is. That is massive. I mean it's almost, and Mongolia too. If if you had told me that India was further west or east than Afghanistan. I never would have believed you for one second.

Wow, yeah maps are interesting. Maps are interesting. Yeah, let's start with, let's run through this area here. Okay, okay. Let's start in Thailand. Okay, let's talk about Thailand. Where'd you go in Thailand? Let's see here, we should narrow it down too, but.

I went twice, I went once for a full moon party. My buddy, Pete, my friend Sarah. Um, I met the Hong Kong comedy scene when I was out there. They were really cool and we're on a junk boat. This one guy, you said I met the Hong Kong comedy scene. No, it's a lot of them. It's a guy named Steve. He's good. He's killing. It's crushing it. And my friend had a joke about that because I grew up in West Virginia, the black neighbor was called Bob Bob's good. He's killin'. It's crushing it. My friend had a joke about that.

It goes, I grew up in West Virginia. The black neighbor was called Bob's House. Yeah, but she told me about a full moon party. Have you ever heard of those? No. Okay. She was like, it's a wild place. It's every full moon on Korong or Kosomuyi.

Oh no, Kosomuyi or Kofiang. One of those two, they're sister islands, they're right next to each other, somewhere in Thailand. Somewhere out here. The Andaman Islands, by the way. You know anything about those? No, what's going on there? Undiscovered people.

Are those the guys? Cook Islands, shit like that. Are they the guys who murked the dude who went out there? Yeah. Those guys rule. Jesus, protect me. It turns out Jesus has no weaponry. No defense against spears.

No, you're gonna catch a couple stray frog jizz tips darts. I think they went once and some British captain was like, here's what I'll do. I'll capture a leader. I'll show them a good time. I'll return them. Then they'll know, hey, these guys are cool. Gave him smallpox, died.

And he goes, fuck. That's the exact fuck I should have just sent a basket of fruit. I should have sent some fucking something good from, from England, some biscuits and gravy maybe or something. Um, yeah, but you can't really go there. But anyway, it's all in here. It is, it is islands and every full moon it's all these backpackers come together. She told me about it. And she was like, you these islands, and every full moon it's all these backpackers come together, she told me about it. She was like, you'd go, you'd go well. Because I was out there on this junk boat

in the Hong Kong peninsula or whatever, and I was just like floating, and she was like, what are you on? And I was like, I have a one hit ass, and I have a hit ass, and I found out it was a comedy show. I was like, I feel bad because I only had one hit. You know, I would have shared it. Yeah, but it's better not to tell anybody.

Safety first and teamwork. Yeah. So she's like, you'd love a full moon party. I went and you should go. It's all these backpackers showing up and just getting rowdy. Every chlamydia variant from all over the world. It's a little fucking, it's really not about fucking. Um, Yeah, but just back, I feel like backpackers in general are are yeah, they're really carton some herpes. Kofen Yang. It's on Kofen Yang Yeah, I mean for sure they are I know how to do it. Nicely done. Okay. Okay. So I went with my friend Pete

We went first to we're gonna go to Phuket first And I booked a fucking horrible movie and it overlapped. I was supposed to go to Australia and then right from Australia That's why you planned it to go from Australia right up to Vietnam. I mean Thailand cuz right there my friends about did the same thing. Yeah booked a fucking movie Wasn't even as much money. I was gonna make on the tour in Australia, but I was like, it's a movie I guess I gotta do it the the the allure Yeah, they'll really lie right to your face Yeah, but it was like if you want to do this you booked a movie fucking John Hammond Zach Galifianak

Like you're gonna not do it. I was like no do it So I try to like get him to move it my scenes. They couldn't do it anyway So I caught up with Pete he had just been breaking up with a girl and he was in sex prison for a while Which means like he had to live with someone he couldn't fuck anybody. Oh like they were dating broke up Yeah, but the ultimate nightmare. She stayed living with him. Oh My god, yeah. Yeah, and so I get there. So I was like, well, he's like well, I already got my ticket I was like, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'll fucking meet you. I'm not gonna cancel it. I'll meet you He was in Phuket finally free and I was,

when I got there for the last night of Phuket, I was like, how's it been going? I already fucked for four horse. He was on a sexcation. I'm just, I'm making my money work for me. Yeah. I was like, how does it work? It was so interesting. You make my money work for me. Yeah. I was like, how does it work? It was so interesting. You didn't pick my money. Work for me. Exactly. Exactly. I mean, what's the point of traveling somewhere where the, where your money's worth more than do they wave you in? It's nuts. They just, they're just like, come, come, come, come, come. And it's a massage,

but also it's not, you know, it's hot. Well, I mean, that's, I mean, all of New York now is just, it's a turf war between rub and tug massage parlors and fake weed stores. So it's like, we're not far off here. Yeah, the cultures where prostitution is so not a big deal blows my mind. It's so refreshing.

Yeah, the cool thing is, we met in, so I did a show in Bangkok. Um, my friend, uh, Childress William Childress set it up for me. He lived in Myanmar. He gave me all this advice on Myanmar. Um, but he ran a show in Bangkok and we hung out with some locals. He was he there? Yeah. He came to meet us at the airport and we went and played like video games at their house and the, the right, some white guy was dating a Thai lady,

and he was like, oh, all the Thai ladies here are cool. They like, they fuck. And I was like, how come? He's like, there's hookers here. If they make you work for it, you'll just go get a very cheap hooker. Oh, wow, what an incredible side effect. What an incredible side effect.

That's exactly right. It's exactly right. Yes, it's like how construction sites will have food trucks next to them. Uh huh, yeah. Yeah. Which came first, it was like, the construction site came first.

They didn't go, let's build around this fucking waffle waffle drive. Oh man, yeah, the working girls really did. Really laid the groundwork. Wow, incredible. Yeah, yeah, so they're all really cool and normal and also into whatever. They speak a lot of English there

That was the only place in Asia. They played that had like half and half expats to locals Otherwise it was all expats. Yeah, I mean Hong Kong plenty of locals, but My but all through China on the expats I'm so ignorant when it comes to the Asian side of the world. When you say Hong Kong, I'm just instantly, it's a Kung Fu movie in my head. It's John Woo.

No, that's totally fair. That's totally fair. So I forget sometimes I've been places I know what it's like. So if you're like, Chicago, did you get shot every day? That's a different part of Chicago. No, it's over there. Yeah, it's over there.

Like, even like 100 miles away, no, like two. Are you beefing with anyone in Obloch? Like, you're gonna be fine. Are you a gangster disciple? Are you a disciple of the gangsters? You're gonna be all right. I always thought I was worrisome because in LA it was red and blue,

but I'm like, those colors are both in my wardrobe. Yeah. I don't want, they know it, they know it. My skin tone really pops. Hong Kong was sold, rented, like the Netflix deals, to the UK for 99 years. Quick little sneak diss. Yeah, well not diss, but like these are the new deals.

You get them for two years. They get them for two years, it'll be off the air. They can renew. 99 years from 1900 to 1999, or maybe it was 1890, 1999. At which point it would revert back. But that point came and China was like, well we're making a hell of a money office.

It's a banking center. So everybody speaks English. The Chinese they speak there is not Mandarin like China. It's Cantonese, which is like a different Chinese. I don't even think they understand each other. Is it? My question was going to be, is it like our English versus British English? Yeah. Closer would be like Norway and Iceland. I think Iceland was like the original Norwegian or F and so Norwegians can

understand Icelandic or vice versa. Denmark and Denmark and Norway is similar in that way. This is different, I think. I think, I mean, this should be seven countries. Right. Look how fucking massive it is. It's giant. Yeah. It's so dominant. Yeah. So, um, it's just very white. It's just very like, when I say white, that sounds racist. I mean, like, it's just very upscale. Tons of bankers, also a bunch of misfits who were there for like a year on their like, I'll teach English, you know, running away.

My friend Sarah and her boyfriend at the time were both runaways like that. They met teaching English in Korea, they kept traveling. She's called it like pretend life, which is what they drink every day, why not? Yeah, that is, oh God,, that is the most freeing. I had nothing to do. Nothing to do. I'm going to, let's get a buzz going. Yeah. Oh, I miss that beer Bay. It was just, it was great. And,

and the relationships couldn't get going big. This happens in Thailand too, because like we're both here on a contract. You're here at a five. I'm here at three. We're both here on threes. I'm a year in your two years in every one of these relationships has an ending date. I'm here at a three, we're both here on threes. I'm a year in, you're two years in. Every one of these relationships has an ending date. I'm gonna leave or you're gonna leave. So it's fun. Let's go hot and heavy, but then that's it. We're done. Totally. And then occasionally people got married. Um, anyway. Yeah, but that's, but what a great freeing thing of like, it, it allows for

a heightened level of intimacy that you wouldn't get out of like casually dating someone. Where you're like, kiss me on the forehead, what does this mean? You know what I mean? No games too, everyone's on vacations, beach weekend always. Amazing. When I say why, I should say first world.

That's what I mean. Should have said it that way. Oh, now it definitely is racist. Very first world. Very first world. That was definitely racist, you said white and you meant developed. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. I lean on white too much because when you travel, there's just not a lot of black travelers. There's some definitely, but in hostels and stuff, it's just a lot of white people. So when you come into a place in Asia, you're like, I'm a new white. It's just a joke you make. But the black people also are the whites. The way I talk about the Philly scene, you know, and I'm like, I call them the Philly blacks.

It was Monroe, Derek Gaines, all these people. And then Cassidy was also one of the Philly blacks. Oh, Tom Cassidy. Yeah. Oh, without question. He's white, but he's one of the Philly blacks. No one loves Nos more than Tom Cassidy. Shout out to the cat daddy, Com Cassidy. Love him to death. Anyway, it's Reggie conquest and Tom Cassidy. Yeah, they're all the Philly blacks.

I'll just say real quick. Yeah. I want to know what this looks sick. Yeah. This is like, it's backpackers from all over the world coming together. It's a full moon. It's every full moon. So it's, this will be one this month. There'll be another one the next month, another one the next month. Yeah. They all come together. You party like crazy on Co Samui. Hold on. How do you go back? How do they do this safely with all the

gnarly drug laws they have over there? Okay. Full moon party. It's on Kofiang. Okay. They look away. Really? So there's there's on the north. So this is the long beach. How do I even get you got to prepare? You were bright colored like neon tank tops. You neon face paint and everything You don't have to but everyone does You're you're a great guy for for really diving in like a costume, bro If we're a costume if there's a kucherman you're you're getting after wear a fucking costume Yeah, we're limited amount of time wear a fucking costume. Totally, you know, you're at a wedding fucking go for it

You're at a fucking thing. You're gonna fight you go to a Cowboys game just you're not a fan just fucking by I couldn't agree it's like getting in a swimming pool and being like I don't get my hair wet it's like don't show up to the pool fuck right off trying to think about having to be from Thailand back there I do I do that Thai boxing he went there in in Chiang Mai Thai boxing it's so fucking cool I do that Thai boxing. Me and Pete went there in Chiang Mai Thai boxing. It's so fucking cool. I do the whole Thailand. I'll just cover Phuong Mui party.

I'll save the rest for later. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, we got to, we're both 280 data. Yeah. So you wear all this clothes. You stay on Koh Samui, okay? Which is also, could be a party island, whatever. It's like a hostily kind of place.

Pete went and got a nicer spot. I got my own room. They're like, hey, if you mess up the towels, we're charging you. And you're like, all right, relax. What kind of hotel is this? But everyone wipes off their fucking makeup and ruins it. So they're dealing with all these fucking angry,

on a budget travelers. They're like, we're not getting into this. We're keeping a fucking deposit. We're not giving it back. We're fucking up. I did fuck mine up. Did not get a deposit back. Was upset. I have a great capacity to be able to like join in with what everybody's doing.

And if people, if I'm around a bunch of poor people, I feel poor. And then I had to pull out of it and like a guy that was a dollar. Yeah, that's so you're, you're so outraged and you're like, all right, I got to get back to America on my tour bus. You ever go to like a friend's poker game and you lose bag like fucking fuck and like, you know, like every hand I fucking lost in the river. But like how much you lose? Like, well, it was quarter and 50 cents. So I don't know, like $18. Yeah, but it's a principle. Yeah.

And you're like, I guess it's not that bad, but you let yourself feel it. So you stay on Koh Samui, run over at Kofiang, they have round trip boats. Some people stay on Kofiang. My friend Sean Abert did that. He taught me about hostels. Damn, and it's that popping every full moon. Every full moon.

So the point is, you get out, you celebrate like crazy the full moon. There's this long beach, okay, the north end of the beach, south end of the beach. On the beach, there are multiple DJs playing different kinds of music. Country, a lot of electronic, 80s, bleeper dancin'.

I just found out, well, I just found out, I didn't find out about dance, dance music, but I've started to get served videos of it on social media. And I'm liking it more and more. And I think it's just cause I'm now I'm in my thirties and I don't want to learn any more lyrics. Oh, you don't have to. Yeah. Just feel it. Get on drugs and feel it. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So as you walk down or north on the beach, go like there's like 20 meters where you can overlap

And then it just becomes only that only that DJ area and then only the next DJ area and then only the next You know, it's just like a little bit. It's like bands at a cut-up festival Okay, you know we can hear both and move closer to one but but it doesn't feel it doesn't feel like they have a place where They would have like barriers. No, no, no, none. None. Is there security? None. When you have to go pee, you just go out away from the beach to the water. You go up to your ankles and you just piss. Fun. Fun. You stand next to somebody and you're like, hey, how you doing? Isn't this crazy? And then you look to your right and you look to your left and you realize there are hundreds of people pissing all around you. And it's like these are the environments

that people need to get themselves into because it really, it's so, really like refreshing and exhilarating to be surrounded by people whose only pursuit is a good time and they don't give a fuck about things like where you're gonna piss. Yep, so this is the neon stuff. Everyone paints themselves the country they're from

because this is all travelers. There's nothing tie about this. It's one of the more interesting things about travel when there's nothing to do with the country it's hosted in. The Olympics maybe, but they'll have a lot of overlap with that, it's this, it's just like, hey we need a place to all meet up. So you put where you're from on there.

A lot of Americans write Canada on their forehead. Smart, yeah. Why get into it? Why get into it? Canada stinks, by the way. So see all these neons and shit? Canada stinks, that's so great. I forgot you just got back from there.

Yeah, all dress chips is all you got up there. Yeah, they have, usually they light up a fucking, this guy, they light up a thing, they set it on fire. That's so tight. They also have this thing called just buckets. Let's just look at it on fire. That's so tight. They also have this thing called just buckets. Let's just look at these sideways. That's where the buckets are.

Oh, I know what to do, I'll just extend. Nice. So these guys are selling, come on dude, I gotta learn how to do this, buckets of booze. It's, remember the 7-Eleven Extreme Gulps? Yes. It's pretty much that size, which was, I figured out, because I was drinking a lot of them

when I was starting comedy, five and a third cans of Coke. It's that, they put in seven straws and they mix it with like eight or nine different kinds of alcohol. Yes. What they tell you is, you have to ask them to break the seal.

Because what they'll do is like, oh you want whiskey? I got Jack Daniel's like sweet. And they turn around and then they pour something that they filled up a Jack Daniel's bottle with. Oh shit. Yeah. Or they're like, no, bro, this is new. I'm like, that's a Malibu rum. That logo has been gone for 20 years. That's not get a new bottle, dude. Oh God. Yeah. You're drinking Taiwanese Bruno.

Everyone is so fucking lit up. Everyone's so fucking lit up, dude. It is so fun. Um, so you go there, the moon's there. You're not really worshiping the moon. You're just getting fucked up on the north, north end of the island. Yes. You go up some steps. There is a happy shake place, which is just ground up mushrooms in a milkshake. Mushrooms are so back, dude. Mushrooms are back. They're back.

They are. They are abundant. And in all forms, and these pills that people are making with them are the greatest. I also feel like that people have. The mushroom pills, do you get exact dosage? You get exact dosages. They hit fast.

And people have finally started to be honest you get exact dosage? You get exact dosages and people have finally started to be honest about proper mushroom dosage. Right, instead of, I don't know, take some? No, instead of just like eat an eighth, and you're like, an eighth is way too much. Oh, right. Unless you're like trying to fuckin' really confront your feelings about your dad or whatever.

So this is it, there's just so many people, there's like a water slide in one of them, you can jump through the fire, and some there's just so many people. There's like a water slide in one of them. You can jump through the fire. In some there's like fire, like, let me see one of these where it's like you can really see. This is incredible, I wanna go to this. Dude, okay, so you're talking about doing these shows that I call about turn ups, right?

Yeah, this is a good one. Yeah, this is a turn up. Yes. So this is just like not on fire, and they light it up on fire. Amazing. At some point. Amazing. Yeah.

Oh, here it is better. Okay. But again, so this is like a Burning Man party in Thailand. All night. Now at some point, 2 a.m., the shuttles start. I think they don't stop actually because they take people over. They go right back. They fare, you know.

Yeah. You can go back whenever you want. Do you have to buy a ticket or you just pull up? Yeah, it's like $4. Of course. Yeah. Oh, to the Full Moon Party itself. Do you have to buy a ticket or you just pull up? Yeah, it's like $4. Of course. Yeah. Oh, to the Full Moon Party itself. Do you have to buy a ticket?

I don't know. I think it might just be, hey, you're coming here, you're gonna buy a bunch of booze. You don't have to buy it. Yeah. Cause there's no gate to get in. I'm not sure, there might've been one, that would've been for two seconds.

So that's not my memory of it, it's not the ticket. Of course. I'm now just concerned about the minutiae of how this thing stays sustainable. I mean, there's some normals there. Oh, look at them all in front of the fucking moon. Damn, that's so awesome, dude. Yeah.

Oh, no code. Okay, and this is like an environment for MDMA and ketamine and cocaine in a place where they will, they don't care life in jail. Here's the cool thing too. Okay. So this idea that these countries are dangerous, that these are the punishments for this or that or that it's like, yeah, okay, sure. But not really like, okay, what's, what's the punishment for jaywalking? It's a fine, right? Yes. What's the punishment for jaywalking in New York? No one's ever, no one knows. Yeah, totally.

Right? You see what I'm saying? Okay, so there's also pharmacies where you don't need a prescription for anything. So yeah, you can just go in. They ask you for a prescription to make sure they're getting the drug you want. Like did a doctor tell you what to get?

If you're like, it was like ibuprofen or, I bill, like tell me what he told you so I can get you the right thing. But if you're're like I'm on Xanax like okay, how many? If you're seven years old, they might try to stop you. But if you're like, I'm getting this for my mom She'll make it Xanax. Okay So anyway, I'm at this fucking Happy shake place. I go to the bathroom, which is just I mean you don't want to take a dump But you have to take it up shit it out

There's a bucket with a little, a big bucket of water with a little bucket in there and you just take that, put your hand in it and just wipe out your ass, take it, wipe out your ass with water. And these are the details that I think prevent people from putting themselves in the position because they go, I'm not shitting in a bucket.

Look man, shit in the fucking bucket, okay? It's not that bad. No, no, you should do a hole. The buckets to wipe your ass out with. Okay. Even better. It's a hole. We're not even in the bucket. You would be shocked at how quickly you will acclimate to shitting and pissing and weird places. You will. You absolutely will get it. You're right. Don't let that hold you back. That's great advice. Come on. That's great advice. You're gonna gonna die you're gonna fully be dead I am remembering now also saw multiple women shitting in the ocean Yeah on a rock and just shit. I'm like, what do you do? Oh, no, come on

What's also funny about is the second you were like you were like, yeah, we shouldn't all I was like I'm shit in the ocean And then when you realize that you're paying you realize you're standing in the piss and shit of many other people Yeah, yeah, like it's gonna work itself out, but it has not yet.

I just went around the streets saying, hey, I got stuff for sale, I got stuff for sale, and then my friends would go, Five-O, Five-O, and that means pack up your stuff and run. Wasn't the most ideal way to do it. Yeah, selling fake Gucci's, fake Rolex's, whatever. Five-O is always a problem. But now, at Shopify.com, you can go to AriShafeer.com

and get whatever you need, whether it's my grinders, vinyls, signed and unsigned, my state-positive shirt, my go-for-a-hike shirt, whatever. And also right now, I'm selling Guatemalan blankets. That's right. I go deeper into the jungles of Guatemala and get them for 10 bucks and pass the savings on to you. I sell them to you for $250.

Shopify.com helped me get there. Upcharging is a new form of cultural appropriation. I go get them at a dirt cheap discount because they need desperately money for food. And I give them to white people who don't need money for food at all. In fact they waste food all the time. The amount of food that's left on the table and they say well you just want to buck this up and you go no it's okay. I'm like you're really

gonna pass multiple homeless people on the way home and they go that's okay and that's who I'm selling to. Shopify.com help me get to the white privileged people that I need the most and right now they got a special deal for you. Upgrade your business and get the same checkout that I do at rsjavier.com.

Society would collapse if everything was this, but I would much prefer it if it was. You go in there, I did it. They just fucking, two guys on either side, they're fucking flipping them, flipping them, you just jump. At first you're like, no fucking way. And then it's like, oh dude, I'm remembering so many fucking drugs now. Okay, so that's somewhere in the middle.

So you see there's a DJ booth there, all the way to the left is a DJ, not DJ, but like music. It's warm as shit out. So everyone's having a blast. There's no, there wasn't any way in 20 when did I go 2014, 15 there was no sexual leering. There was no, like, there wasn't anything like that. There was a, I mean, people were up for it if it happened, but it wasn't backpacker culture is for

the most part pretty cool about everything. Yeah, it's the- Not to say it doesn't happen, but- They just turn down the volume on the insignificant day-to-day stuff that people get hung up on and are concerned about. Are we gonna fuck? I don't know, man, I don't know.

I don't know, dude. I'm living off of two dollars a day, and the this this food is sick and this these guys are swinging fire Let's jump in. Let's jump it. Yeah So you got happy shake place up top up on a mountain too so you can look down on the whole thing It's pretty cool. You can also ask them. This is all coming back to me right now. It was so fucking fun You can also ask them like, hey, can you just leave out the shake part? Because that's what gives you the shit, it's milk.

You can put milk on a fucking Thai island. Oh, yeah. And it's not like a great shake. Some suspect dairy. Uh-huh. Yeah, no thanks. And then you're not positive they put the mushrooms in. It's all elephant dung mushrooms too. Oh man, it's just some chick from California being like,

can you put my name out Malik? No. So we're going up and down the island up and down. We got there daytime, we got there hella early. I went and took a dump, come back. Sarah and who else are you with? Maybe Sean, A-Bear and maybe Pete and then maybe another person. She knew people around in Asia. She was so cool. I learned so much from her about travel and about like just getting out there. But you might have Martin Luther King, I have Sarah. So I come back, she's chopping up a pill on a mirror. And I was like, what are you doing? She goes, I'm chopping up Ritalin. And I was like, what are you doing? She goes, I'm chopping up Ritalin. And I was like, why are you chopping up Ritalin?

She's like, because we're snorting Ritalin. And I was like, damn, okay. All right. It was just every drug, up, down, up, down, having fun, having a blast. We went back to Sean A. Bear's hostel. He was staying on Kofen Yang. The elevator froze because they had more

than two people in there. So we're stuck on a fucking hot, getting hotter and hotter elevator. We're like freaking out because we can't open this. Terrifying. Five full minutes. Like probably six or seven of us on there. We're like, we're fucked, dude.

It's sweltering hot. We're not gonna make it through the night in here. Then it starts working. Oh man. And those are the kind of sticky situations you gotta get yourself into. Yeah, it was so fun. You just got out of your element a little bit.

So we get a towards the happy shake. So happy shakes, north, then a little bit south. You go inside. There is, um, nitrous whippets. I'm not really sure which one's which it's the big tanks. Uh, the same thing. Same thing. Yeah. Whippets are nitrous. Oh really? Yes. Okay. Fulmincardi. Let's see if, whippets are nitrous. Oh really? Yes. Okay, full moon party. Hippie crack they call it. Let's see if we can find a picture of this. Yeah, I've never, never did nitrous.

I mean, there you go. It's just never around, yeah, just whipped out. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, oh dude, it's so good. Police arrest, teller of laughing, gets a full moon party. This is just a story because generally

they don't fucking give a shit. Yeah. I'm not doing this. This, this guy didn't, they didn't pay off the cop or whatever their setup was or it was, or it was someone they did it. Exactly. It was someone new. It was someone new. Yeah. That's not a real, there's the buckets. God damn, I gotta learn how to do this better. Yeah, it's all good man, we're learning in real time. Yeah, we're learning as we go. Yeah, fuck yeah.

So those are the buckets, you see them on the right? Right here? Yes. Okay, so they'll just fill that up, they have seven straws. So people walk by you and you just take sips of their bucket, it's fine. And you just get so fucked up. So we go, there's a nitrous area, and everyone's on there,

and we're like, how do you do it? Even Sarah's like, I don't know about this. Yeah, yeah. I'll do it, but I don't know about it. Totally. She was so good at finding drugs. She was just so good at finding drugs. What, a hot lady?

You wouldn't say. You wouldn't say. We're in Cambodia, we're in Cambodia and I want a weed. You wouldn't say, all right. She's not a weed lady and she went to this hostel and I was like, I'm nervous, how do you find stuff? And she's like, I think this one's the one. And she was like, all right, yep, they have it. Like, but it's for you, so come buy it.

And I went in and she's like, yeah, it's 10 bucks for a bag. It's brown, don't act like there's anything better. It's what you're getting, brown weed. And then I was like, how much? He's like, 10 bucks for a bag. I was like, how much, he's like 10 bucks for a bag. I was like, okay. And he goes, oh shit, are you already Shafir? Only twice I got recognized on a four month trip to Asia.

No shot. Yeah. And I was like, yeah. And he goes, what the fuck? And she just goes, free weed! He goes, yeah, okay. He goes, yeah, okay. So when mutants like us find out people have drugs, they're like, ugh, he wants our drugs. And then when a cute girl comes up, they're like, ooh, she wants our drugs.

Different reactions. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. Exactly. So anyway, so we're doing this, and he's like, how does it work? Some guy is there. He goes, it's the best, because he pushed past us. He goes, it's the best. He's been going, so we're doing this. And so it was like, how does it work? So some guy is there. He goes, it's the best. Cause he pushed past us. He goes, it's the best.

He's been going all night. This random dude, we don't know him. And we're like, how do you do it? I want to be able to show you without standing up. I'm gonna go out of frame here. So he is, he is this work, right? So he's there. Imagine I'm standing up.

You fill up a balloon. They give you this balloon. You squeeze it. I mean, it's filled up to here, the size of your head. Yes. And you've done it ever? No. They had it on Skankfest.

I didn't see any there. They was upstairs, me and Lil Sass did it for a while. Oh wait, no, I did see a whole crew of people really doing it in the green room, but I was like, I was just getting there, it was great. It rules, when it's around it fucking rules. It's fun, it's a good addition,

and it lets you know, it's a different type of person who gets stoked on nitrous. Yeah. And you're like, you're like, you're like, oh man, you've really been to Colorado, huh? Fuck yeah. Yeah, it was fun. Yeah, so great. Tony fucking inched the fucking loser. He was like, come on, he was like, oh, I don't know, he's so great. Tony fucking inched the fucking loser.

He was like, come on, he was like, oh, I don't know, he made some excuse. You ever give him excuses completely negated and people are like, I'm still not gonna go. Well, then it's your excuse to lie. He was like, I don't have time, I have to do this thing. Like, that's not for 40 minutes, it's a 10 minute high. Or it's a 20 second high.

He goes, nah, I'm like, all right. Anyway, this guy, a match is standing up. He's like, I'll show you how to do it. And we're like, okay. He gives the guy, whatever it is, holds it, goes, then goes, and then jump. Dude, cement, cement, back of his head conked. Just go, we're like, what the fuck?

Out, and then sits up about four seconds later goes oh yes I bet even right back for the balloon too yeah I did another one of course like that's how you do it yeah that's why they call it hippie crack man Wow we were like I'm really like all right well let's let's take a knee before we do it we're gonna hit like, all right, well, let's take a knee before we do it. So we don't do that. I don't know why that guy didn't take a nap. Let's be proactive. We're going to hit the floor. All right, yeah, rule one of nitrous.

Take a seat. Take a seat. Yeah. Yeah. You want to see a real loser? Go look up Joe Rogan Experience podcast, and I'm on with Shane and Mark and Rogan. I brought some whippets and didn't fill it up enough. And I was like, I'll show you guys how to do it.

And I did not enough, didn't fill it up enough. And I was like, I'll show you guys how to do it. And I did not enough. And I f*****g faked it. I was like, it got me close. And I was just like faked it. What a f*****g loser. Hey, that's Joe biz baby. Yeah. I couldn't be like, it's not hitting me. Um, anyway, so it's that it's all up and down. It's just booze, booze, booze. They light up this big fire. And then at some point you, you should stay till the sun comes up. I mean, that's the goal.

And you're up, oh, and every bucket is a full can of Red Bull. Great. So it will keep you up. Full can of Red Bull, also a lot of Coca-Cola, drugs like Coke. Yeah. You know, we went back to Sean's room,

we smoked some weed. I'm sure people did Coke and stuff. I wasn't doing it at the time. Yeah, Coke was never my... I still do it. By the way, anybody watching, I'm sure people did coke and stuff. I wasn't doing it at the time. Yeah, coke was never my... I still don't do it. By the way, anybody watching, I'm not a coke guy. I have done it, I'll talk about it. Don't offer me coke, I don't want any.

Yeah, also don't do coke. Don't do coke. Yeah, it's, oh God, all right. Look at these fucking chicks having a blast. Yeah. That chick is gone. Yeah, I never did a... More dangerous than cocaine neurologist warrants.

Fuck you, neurologist. Quit trying to be on the fucking cover of anything. Yeah, fuck right off. Yeah, I never did nitrous. I never did, the ones that got away from me were nitrous, heroin, and lean. Lean, what's lean? Is that the-

Like, lean, scissor, some might call it, purple drank. Is that the like lean scissor some might call it purple drink? it's promising and Coding cough syrup Yeah, like big big Houston rappers really popped it off, but it's just it's just liquid heroin But the thing about it now is it like all these rappers the way they make it is you have You see cup pour your cough syrup into it and then they put in like a jolly rancher and like sprite and

It just seems like a lot of sugar to me So these are the buckets, okay,'ve got a can of whatever soda, Coca-Cola light, regular Coca-Cola Sprite, and then a full bottle of whatever this fucking whiskey is. And then they're gonna put other shit in there too. Oh, there's other bottles, you can see other, like down here, there's more, there's another bottle of something.

Like you feeling stinging is yeah all over Little fucking tiny those I don't know what it was I think those little tiny jellyfish and like the fuck out of here like wow, but it went away. Oh, that's good That's scary. It's getting worse and worse So I heard about a parasite in the I think like the Congo or the Amazon that swims up your dick hole. Yeah. Oh, I think about that, man.

Yeah. Is that a concern I'll never have? Swims up your dick hole when you pee? Yeah. Like, when I think about that right now, I bet it's only when you're swimming. The way you can swim upstream that fucking fast. I don't know, nature's powerful, man.

Nature's powerful. So you gotta like keep chopping off your stream. You can't upstream that fucking fast. I don't know. Nature's powerful, man. Nature's powerful. So you gotta like keep chopping off your, your, your stream. Yeah. What, what, what a, what hubris for us to possess of like, I'm like, no, no, no, my stream is so powerful.

Yeah, there was no, there was no sea-do's there then. What time is it? I should check, I was about to check what time it is. Five. There's a pharmacy out there. It's just like, I don't know, man. It was so fucking cool.

Yeah, you wanna do, I mean, I should not mention it or mention it, but like. I would keep it vague. I just wanna make promises that I don't fulfill. But I have- You like these things. I love these things. And I am in pursuit of this.

Of the type of the type of environment where people's where some people say wow that's incredible I have to be there and other people say I could never do that I could never do it it's so fun and it's like it's like you can't do all you have to do is pull up. They'll have you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I want to tell you about that. I don't want to tell on air, but I got, I heard about one. I'll tell you. Yeah. Sick. Yeah. But my, but I have a, I have a very cool plan and, uh, I'm highly motivated to execute. So regardless of outcome,

I'm going to get myself into some very fun, very sticky situations. That's what you want. I mean, so when you hear about this, what do you, what do you think of? I think of... This is what I want to put over there, this thing. That up until... Oh, that's it. Yeah, yeah, hell yeah. That up until right now, my thoughts of Thailand

were ladyboys and noodles, and that this is so sick, and now I'm highly motivated to go to Thailand. Yeah. Because this seems amazing. And like these are the pockets that you want to get yourself into where you're, the, kind of like what I was saying before, where the-

Rabble rousers. Yeah, and where the, the day to day-to-day Confines that we all kind of have to operate in so that it's not just bedlam and pandemonium Get those walls get taken down a little bit and people get to Just sort of exist outside of a world of pressure of like earn money To live and they can actually just living. They are just living and money means almost nothing.

It means like very little. They have it but they have very little but it's like that's not, they're not trying to like make any money. Oh dude, should we do a video on this? I don't even know. I mean I feel like I've just. Is this the best party you've ever been to? Is my'm just, is this the best party you've ever been to is my next question.

Is it the best party I've ever been to? Hold on. It's possible. That is possible. It might be the best party I've ever been to. I mean, beach, foreign country, people from all over. So warm out, but not hot. So warm out. It's so So it's like, you know, you're just like this, the teeth just hugging you. Yeah. And it's pitch black. I was naive. Plus you had a pretty strong liquor blanket on. And the thing is the moon is lighting everybody up. It's just good. So yeah, you're hammer drunk, dude.

I bet it's not as cool now with all these vloggers. Uh, I bet there's going to be a lot of people screaming into their cell phones like this lady. Yeah, that's tough. Yeah. We didn't have that you, you went and then everyone has to turn it on the exact right time. Yeah. But it's also like, I'm trying to go there with a camera. So it's like, I'm not one to judge. That's a good point. But my shit's going to be tight. These guys suck.

Cause I'm going to bring a crew of real fucking dirtbags with me. How do you, how would you do it? Where you, where you, um, there's a bucket. Yeah, that's yes. Yes, dude. Yeah. Give me your snake piss liquor. Give me your snake piss please. One snake piss please. I'll have a jumbo snake piss please. It was just fucking wild. Yeah, it might have been the best party I've ever been to. I'm trying to think of

all the parties I've been to. That one's hard to define as a party. Yeah. Because it's more of an event. It's like more of a festival. But I mean, that certainly is the most. It's been a while since someone was outside of a music festival and someone was like, there's this event that I'm like, that's sick. I'm trying to go to that. My friends from the stand just went I was like, oh, to Thailand. And they're like, I think they were just going to Chiang Mai, which was also cool, save for another episode. But like, I was like, you should check the calendar. If you're there on a full moon,

you'd be crazy not to hop over. And hop over it, by the way, it's not a hop over. You gotta take a boat to Koh Samui, and then the ferry over to Koh Phan Yai. It's a mission. Yeah, there's a way to take a plane to Koh Samui, but it's still hard, so you gotta get to the port, get to whatever, but once you're there,

it's less than a day's journey to get to the fucking, you know, Koh Samui. Yes. God, it was so fun. I know there's things I'm forgetting. I know there's so many things I'm forgetting. How the first... But like that, you gotta make that trip

in the pursuit of a time, that's such a good time. Yeah, it's such a good time. And everyone was just so positive. Everyone was just so happy. That guy wasn't like, are you guys going or not? The nitrous guy, he was just like, I'm going, you guys, do you mind? He was just like happy, you know?

Everyone's on board, everyone's chill, they're all there. When I went to Southeast Asia, I was dating a girl, Jackie, and she goes, I was worried. I was like, how am I gonna meet people? She goes, hey, anyone, anything you do, like activity-wise, you're going to be with people who are also interested in that activity. It's not on the subway.

It's if you're going to an elephant sanctuary. It's other people that are into the elephant sanctuary. If you're looking for a Thai cooking class, it's gonna be people that are like, I wanna learn Thai cooking. If I wanna go on a fucking, anything. There are gonna be people, at least you have that much in common.

Plus you're all backpackers. Yes. You know where the most shocking place I've ever been that had that same vibe of just like, everyone's in a great mood and everyone's so stoked was the Indy 500. Wow. And I expected the Indy 500 to be a bunch of drunk,

redneck assholes. And it is just an unstoppable sea of people in the pursuit of having the most fun. It was so cool. It was so, it was, oh I love that shit. Shane says once, he was like, you look at Republicans party and Democrats party and who's having more fun?

I'm gonna say who's right or wrong, whatever, who's having more fun? It's like, well, Republicans. Like Kid Rock concert goers are having a fucking blast. You know, Ony DeFranco concert goers are enjoying themselves. Yeah. Yeah dude. last. They, you know, Ani DeFranco concert goers are enjoying themselves. Yeah, dude. Yeah.

Yeah, it was so cool. So let me ask me some questions about it. What did you want to know? What am I missing? What, what do you want to know about that? I haven't told you. I thought of a few things I should ask in general people, but let me hear if you hit me with anything. There's no right or wrong here. About the full moon party? Uh-huh. Okay.

Nitrous everywhere. The ticket price is a solid question. Yeah, is there a ticket price, the security? Oh, okay. While we left, on the way out, we're all pouring, so you go through, through back to the beach and kind of over the island to get to the ferries. Bunch of people that have been doing drugs

and alcohol at night. No one got there past midnight, you know? So you get there earlier, whatever. We're going through, there was one of these babies and you know those like walker strollers around and so the baby sits there with his legs and he can move he could kind of walk yeah it's pretty much like a whole tray for shit yeah you know and so it's one of those on this on this on the street somewhere well it's a small cobblestone kind of

street like uninhabited by cars or whatever and some bro dude is like whose baby is this just some baby out who's gotta take care of your baby? Who's is this? And it was I mean I kept walking just like we did for that guy who was stealing cocoa from 7-eleven. Oh, yeah It was like hey, bro You're fucked up Don't try to solve third world right now hammered down. They know where their baby is. God that is my least Favorite thing in life. Let me fix this shit right now. Is a drunk person unwilling to accept the reality

that they are hammered. I'm hammered, I'm not gonna give anybody advice on anything. Dude, my entire drinking career, if I saw a baby I'd be like, I'm hammered drunk, I'm staying away from that baby. Yeah, it's like whoa, cool. Meanwhile, it's probably like, oh yeah, we don't have fucking baby theft in my country,

so yeah, the baby's fine out there, the whole neighborhood knows the baby, it's probably like, oh, yeah, we don't have fucking baby theft in my country. So yeah, the baby's fine out there. The whole neighborhood knows the baby. It's fine. If you follow someone, one of my neighbors will pick it up. It's being watched. Fucking asshole. Your only concern should be like hydration and logic. Yeah, and you need hydration.

On that boat back, two different people threw up over the edge. Oh, I bet. Yeah, I bet. Lack of sleep, booze, and whatever. Whatack of sleep booze and whatever. What are we going to ask? I forget. What would you say? Oh, I had, I had something. Uh, shaking your memory. Uh, I mean you did a great, you did a great job of food. Oh, what do you get for food there?

That's a good question. We must have eaten. You have to. No way we couldn't eat. You can't supply that much alcohol without. I have no memory of there being food, but there had to be food. There were stands.

There were stands. But if you get booze everywhere. So when you go off the beach a little bit, that's where you get all the buckets. And then there were streets down towards into where the town would have been. And then those were just lined with stalls. They must have had food stalls.

Definitely. Drugs, booze. Just the, it's just so, man, it might have been the best party I've ever been to. No tie people, right? The ties are just like, it's just so, man, it might've been the best party I've ever been to. No tie people, right? The ties are just like, it's just something we do here. We don't care. Yeah, it's just money comes in.

Over there, yeah, they buy a bunch of shit, everybody's cool, everyone's a dick. That is an environment though where it's like, okay, that's not a place I would wanna bring my passport. Just because I would be concerned of losing it. You leave your passport at the hotel in Koh Samui. Yeah, totally. You don't take that to Koh Pha Nhat.

Yeah. Yeah, no, no way. Little bit of cat, no phone. They all have their, they all have those little lockbox in the hotel rooms. Sure. We had another story from another time, but a lady in Thailand somewhere else

and she left her passport on her. It's like, is your passport in your bed? And she's like, yeah, it's fine. I'm like, no, you gotta lock it up. She goes, Asians don't steal. I was like, that's a mass generalization for a billion people. Yeah, that's wild.

Yeah. I mean, that, Lady, it just takes one. Yeah, that's wild. Yeah. I mean, Lady, it just takes one. Put your passport away, lady. Such a huge portion of the population. Yeah, it's like your heart's in the right place, but you're factually incorrect. Here's a question I thought of that I have to ask everybody in these in these podcasts

What regrets do you have and what would you have told yourself? Hey, make sure to do this like on the way to China I'd be like to anybody who goes and I'll still say it take one of those travel things of Tissue paper with you wherever you go. Yes, don't ever not chapstick have some with you. Sure. That's a good one So for this I'm trying to think what would I say? Make sure to do Okay, I'm just thinking about this right now in the moment. Take a dump before you hit Kofiang Yeah, full force yourself to take a dump before I'm trying to I I take long arduous dumps

I I try to I try I try to pre dump before I go anywhere. That's why I'm late often Arduous dumps. Arduous. I, I try to, I try, I try to pre dump before I go anywhere. That's why I'm late often. Yeah. So that's, I would say lean in and just drink and do everything. But like everyone does, that's not even a thing you got to tell anybody. Yeah. Anyone who's there, they're going to be down. Yeah. Nap it off. Don't go home. If the thought comes at you, I didn't so I just didn't even regret Like you know how we like I'm getting tired. I'm getting tired, but you know sometimes you have like rallied Yes, and but if you're like, I'm just gonna like Irish. Goodbye. Oh, yeah home this one

Don't do that. Stay say take a nap on the beach somewhere. It's warm. No, no fuck with you. Just sleep And then wake up in 30 minutes and get going again. You'll never be back there. Yeah. Yeah. Oh man. Yeah. That's great. Yep. Yeah. You want to see that sun come up and you feel so accomplished. There was a night in New York and it's one of my best memories. It was me and Normand. I was pretty new here and we were drinking at the, at the Fat Black. And, um, and you know, then eventually the customers left. They just let us stay, you know?

And we just all get this round, oh, you got the last one. Okay, last round, last one, another one, another one, another one, and then you start seeing the light come through the cracks, they pull the shades down over those windows. I'm like, no way. And when you walk home at six, seven a.m. It's the best.

You feel so accomplished. Yes. It's degenerate accomplishment You feel so accomplished. Yes. It's degenerate accomplishment. Yes, there's something so, it's like the best, the best feel of watching people who've just gotten a good night's sleep and are on their way to work or going for a jog, and you're like, my existence flies in the face

of this fucking, of this thing you are beholden to yeah, and I just had the The best night I'm gonna go I'm going to your day is starting my day is ending and right exactly like oh my god I just I'm right now Remembering an old Rogan bit when I used to open for him Where he would like I think I might have been I was staying up all night and people looking down on you Yeah, and like these old men like looking down you in their suits And I his line was I don't know how the setup was, but his line was, um, if, if I let you smell my finger, it would,

it would change the course of your life. Yeah. It feels so good. And when you're on that Island, that sun comes up and you keep going still for a while. It's like, wow. Yeah. Those in the like, and those moments are the ones that you look back on. They're like, that was so worth it. So worth it. That was so worth it. So I haven't thought about that full moon party in so long. I'm glad you chose Thailand. I'm glad we got on that. This,

this podcast is an excuse to fucking relive shit. You know what I mean? It's like when they say when you're like old and like you're not gonna think about the money you have, but you're gonna remember all the fun things you did. Yes. Unless your memory goes, which mine is. But like. Mine's getting bad, dude.

I was looking at my friend dead in the face that I've known for six years the other night, and I went to say his name and I wasn't confident in it. Toby McMullen. I can't believe I didn't say your name in the intro. What a fucking dumb fuck. My last name would be nice. Yup. True. Um, you couldn't say his name. That's hilarious. I could, I,

but for names, especially for me are really slippery. So it was like, that's just a short out though. Yeah. That's not, I don't remember. I was on the fritz. Yeah. It was like, why wasn't the recall there. Yeah. Shorted. That's not, I don't remember. I was on the threats. Yeah. It was like, why wasn't the recall there? Yeah. That's funny too. Cause like, it's not like you didn't learn my name. It's just like, what happened to you? Yeah. Yeah. It's like, if you forget the word for grape, you're not forgetful. Something's wrong with you. Yes. Yeah. I'm like, my shit's broken. Yeah.

I blame it on all the head trauma. Yeah. Where did I eat? It must have been, they must have had food places. Let's assume they did. Yeah. So rat on a stick or whatever, he gives a shit. They have better food than that. I mean, noodles and fucking all that shit. Probably a little box of it.

God damn, it's fun. It must be ruined, I bet, with influencers and everyone taking pictures. I don't know, the barrier to entry for that is really fucking high. The barrier to what? The barrier for entry to that party is very high. You have to get to Thailand and then it's a mission

once you're in Thailand. Okay, so it's not high level influencers, it's everybody going, I'm recording this for me and my friends, like hey, we're here. Yeah, oh yes. That kind of shit. Not necessarily influencer, but social media you said. Yeah, my friend went to the blue lagoon in Iceland

It's in between the airport and Reykjavik so you can go it's expensive. It's like 250 bucks Not worth it and already not worth it because it's not where it was a hot hot spring, you know, whatever they moved it So they just funnel the water in But it's volcanic water, but it's everybody, they, they rent these pouches, waterproof clear pouches and everyone's just looking at themselves. And my friend said when he went seven, eight years ago, it was just people putting mud on their face and like, and like doing it. And now it's everyone just talking to their phones in there. Yeah.

So that, you know what I mean? It's like, I don't know, but I bet you can still have a good time. I just hate when you're talking to someone and someone's like, Hey, it was like, Oh, hey, it's like, that's not natural. I wasn't doing that. I'm only doing that for the camera. Oh my, that's the worst. When you, when you see it out of the corner of your eye and you're coming to you and you're like, I'm going to be a liar now. Yeah. Oh, I'm so guilty of that just like I don't want to be in a clip looking like a fucking looking like I'm lame when I'm just chilling and I get it like I remember I jumping over that jump rope that fire

jump rope was fun it was cool I wish I had a video of it I don't so I would have taped it I'm glad I didn't tape it but I'm also upset I don't have a video of it totally you know't. So I would have taped it. I'm glad I didn't tape it. But I'm also upset I don't have a video of it. Totally. You know, it would be cool to show you, look at me jumping over this. But also to stop like, hey, take this video while I do this. Yeah.

But whatever, whatever. I don't want to focus on negative. It was great. It was great. Because my intention is now fully to go make a sick video there and then film it all. I mean, you just gotta learn how to like not bother people. There's an art to it. Yeah, there's uh, it's like everything it's like um it In the same way that I don't drink anymore

but None of my friends view me as like a drag because I know how to hang because I still know how to hang a smoke weed or whatever. But the vast majority of people who don't drink, fuck, it's suck, it's like vegans. It's so goddamn annoying about it. It's like just shut the fuck up and kick it. Which.

Kick it, burn it. Yeah, so a similar vibe of that. There's a way to go about it where it's less intrusive and can still be a fun vibe I'm now wondering if I actually have pictures from Thailand 2017 that's Myanmar. I don't great. I haven't somewhere on a hard drive. Totally This is you would taking a selfie holding some Castrated ladyboys balls in a selfie holding some castrated

lady boys balls in a jar. Yeah, here's me in China. That would have been before I heard about it. And then I don't know when that was. Yeah, exactly. Castrated balls. More balls? Yes.

Ooh, this is a precedent. It's spicy. Yeah, it was great. It was great. And then the rest of it, we just kind of hung out. With the annoying thing was back in Kosovo, the next day they're like, we have a DJ booth set up. I was like, no, come on, man. This is for resting today. Yeah.

Last memory that I have of it is the neck. We stayed for a couple more days or went for a couple of days before, which is hang by the pool, drink Thai beer. Uh, that's when I got the idea. I was trying to do the math convert see in my head of the 20 ounce or whatever the Thai beer was. And I was like, wait, it's this? And then Sarah was like, it's free, Ari, it's free. Everything's free. And you're like, yeah, it was like 40 cents or 60 cents

for a 20 ounce or it's free. It's free, dude. They pirated the Pacquiao Mayweather fight. And we watched it on a beach bar with the beach right there daytime looking back between rounds and then just having this beautiful tie, like beach that we're all watching. Are they all root for Pacquiao cause from the Philippines.

Of course. And it was pretty awesome. It was probably the coolest way I've ever watched a fight. It's funny. It's fun to be like in a real established business and there's like the fights on the TV and then there's a guy still having to fight the pop-ups that are coming up. Yeah, exactly, exactly.

Like the incredibly racist live chat is going. It wasn't even paid to watch, it was like, drink something, you know, but we'll have it so you'll have an incentive to wake up at 11 a.m. and watch. Yeah, totally. Yeah, good time, you should go.m. and watch. Yeah, totally. Yeah, good time. You should go. I will go.

I will, yeah. And hopefully I'll get to see some illegally streamed sporting events. Man, I miss illegal streams in BitTorrent. Those are the days. They're still there. That's all I do. Another episode for another thing.

This would be great if I did have a VPN sponsor. This would be the time to put it in. All right. Well, I don't know when this will come out, but I will say I think we're wrapped up, right? Great. I pretty much did a decent job of telling you about the Full Moon Party. You did a great job. Yeah.

Thanks for guiding me and playing along. I will say there should be a Patreon right now. So I have no idea what it is, patreon.com slash ubtrippin. Maybe Ari Shaffir, probably ubtrippin, let's call it that. Yeah, I think ubtrippin. Ubtrippin, yeah, yeah, yeah. My goal is, I told you this, to hit a certain amount, I don't know, I forget. And then we're gonna send someone around the world.

You're going to send some f*****g backpacker around the world or at least through Southeast Asia or something for a year. I don't know about around the world, but they could do that for a year for sure. They go from there over to there anywhere. So when we hit, what did you, that number big? I don't't know man 2,000 people depends on how sick you want this trip to be for this kid. I mean, it's not gonna be luxurious You're gonna stay in hostels You know oh of course it's like going on a budget, but you have to do it right yeah And you got to apply we'll find who it is you got to apply in some way and make your case

But we're gonna have to say like, I don't want you writing in every day cause I want you being lost out there. I want you to get lost, you know, mentally, but like once a month or so find a computer registered at the hostels, like computer area, register a Gmail account and send me an update of what you're doing. Yeah. Hell yeah. And then I'll read on the Patreon. That rules. Let's say 2000 people. 2000 seems good. Yeah.

Anyway, Toby again, McMullen, if you don't know, help me design and set up the studio. Uh, with these we've conceived it. What do you think? It's fucking great. It's awesome. We had two months lost because of fucking, the act of God. Just an act of God, a true, so much effort to meet a deadline that we set

that was then shown to be completely ludicrous by the acts of God. I mean, let's get it, so you go on tour, we're gonna be done. I've not recorded two in here over two and a half months and they're both with you. Um, Toby, what's your email, I mean, what's your home phone number?

What's your Instagram? Home phone number, dude? What's your Instagram? Home phone. I'm joking, I'm joking. How fucking old are you, bro? Oh yeah. Instagram, at Toby.McM McMullen on the old Instagram there

Hit me up, it's my only social media. It's his only social media here. He is. He's just Steve out. Ah damn it Not logged in Well, you pretty much get it. Yeah This freeze frame on that Say it again, I was distracted. Let him not be distracted while I'm doing this. Toby.McMullen on Instagram. Toby.McMullen.

All right, everybody follow him. Tell him about a place he should go. Yeah. If you have any, if you've ever been to any, I would say, I would define it as next level, I don't wanna say event, because I don't wanna to skew it that hard turn ups are just parties. It's gotta be a better term for that. Yes, skydiving festival a place where people are sword fighting with severed dog dicks.

I don't know like some some something outside this of the standard societal norms yeah and not just ones based in America but everywhere like where people are really letting it fly you want to see them I'm trying to go and bring a whole bunch of my momies bring and bring my my gnarliest friends yeah who are willing who are willing and have who will shit in the hole yeah Sean a bear stayed in a hostel on company with no AC and you're like damn dude like I was like I gotta stay down and have who will shit in the hole. Yeah, Sean Abert stayed in a hostel on Kung Fu Yang with no AC and you're like, damn dude. Like I was like, I gotta stay in the island over there

with a pool and an AC. He's like, I'm not looking for that. Yeah. Yeah, you know the guys who just fucking go for it. Yes. They're nice to have around. They are, it's refreshing. I'm trying to be one of those guys.

That's why whenever I have like my mantra is like, be gnarly. Whenever I get intimidated by someone, I'm just like, no, no mantra is like be gnarly. Whenever I get intimidated by someone, I'm just like, no, no, no. You've been gnarly or not? You look up, your whole life you've looked up to these dudes because they're gnarly. Yeah.

Fucking go be gnarly, man. I'll leave you with this. This memory of me and Pete, we're in Piquet, I think, in Piquet, and we're looking down this alley, we're on the main street, we're looking at this alley, like some green light down there, and we're like, I wonder what it is. It's like, I was thinking Falafel Stand,

but it's like, I don't know, 50, 100 yards away. We're like, I'm looking at it, we're like, should we go down there? And then some random, I think an Argentinian, maybe an Israeli, some accent comes by, and he just, from our backs, just goes, you regret only the things you do not do. And we're like, what the fuck was this guy?

And he walked on, we're like, dude, let's go. And it wasn't even anything that we really had to be at. It's like being haunted by the ghost of vibes to come. Yeah. Like, what, dude? I mean, he fucking clocked us for sure. Too worried to go down an alley. It's two fucking strapping dudes, it's fine.

And then just made us do it. There was nothing even there. Wasn't anything amazing so it's just that it we weren't later going fuck we should have seen what there was there did that philosopher just calls a pussy great philosopher Shane Gillis philosopher fucking gay fucking pussy all right tell them come on everybody follow him next time you're back, you'll tell them about another place that you've been.
