I am so dreading groceries this week.
Why? You can skip it.
Oh, what? Just like that?
Just like that.
How about dinner with my third cousin?
Skip it.
Prince Fluffy's favorite treats?
Skippable.
Midnight snacks?
Skip.
My neighbor's nightly saxophone practices?
Er, nope. You're on your own there.
Could have skipped it. Should have skipped it.
Skip to the good part and get groceries, meals,
and more delivered right to your door on skip.
Okay.
Got my notes.
How's my hair?
My hair's pretty tough too.
No, you're fricking thick dude.
This curse you had of fucking having gray hair
is now turning into a blessing.
It's a total blessing.
At some point, I mean you're're going to have had gray anyway,
and it's either gray or bald.
I used to try to do that as a bit where I was like,
because Steve Martin looked old young,
but now that he's old, he looks young because he's always looked old.
It's like, oh, he's never ages.
Yeah. Wow, you just won't die.
Yeah.
You've been 85 years old since 1983.
Yeah. 85 years old since 1983.
Hello everybody. Welcome back to you be tripping. Uh,
the only podcast that takes you to places that you never ever wanted to go where multiple diaries have happened through multiple guests. My guest today, I'm
assuming you might have had diarrhea in this place, is Mike Cannon. Mike! Hello everyone.
Welcome to my new podcast. I've had diarrhea in the place I will discuss as well as earlier today.
Really? Yeah. It's tough. Then I got back from Southeast Asia and Rogan's like, do you ever get diarrhea?
I'm like, the whole time. the whole time. Do you ever?
Mike, where are we going today? We are going to Bali,
which is the furthest place that I've ever traveled.
Really?
Yeah, by far.
I mean, it was 24 hours in the air combined.
What?
What do you mean combined?
Like combined, so it was,
our first flight was New York to Doha in Qatar.
And then we had to stop there.
It was like a six hour layover, maybe even less.
And then we had to fly there. It was like a six-hour layover maybe even less and then we had to fly to
to Bali Indonesia from there
Nice long dude, I had
weed in my bag and in Doha and
They tell you like why he was like, I don't want to do that. But they're like, hey, we're getting off
I'm like, oh, let me find a place to dump it before I get off and then as soon as you got like your rush
We're rush. You got to get up these three people, let them go first.
And so I'm no time to dump the shit in the edibles in the, um,
toilet, the back of the plane. And so then I'm like,
and then I'm gonna have to like, come on, come with me.
And they go right through security. And it was just this moment of Zen.
I'm like, it's already happened. Yep. I'm either in jail 11 years from now,
or I'm not. Yeah. You're either Claire Danes. Yeah. Yeah.. I'm either in jail 11 years from now, or I'm not.
Yeah, you're either Claire Danes.
Yeah, yeah.
And I'm like, it's not, I'll just look back on this moment.
There was nothing to do.
Yeah, you just got caught.
That's like Brittany Greiner.
She had to have felt that in that moment
when she was brought into that side room
and just been like, I absolutely forgot a few cartons.
I hope they're lenient considering the money
I've brought to this country through basketball. I hope they're lenient considering the money I've brought to this country through basketball.
I guarantee they're not.
As long as the fucking woke public of America
doesn't make a big stink of it,
oh, I'm just a women's basketball player,
they'll let me out.
As long as they don't make it into a thing
where they have to trade the merchant of death for.
Do you think that she shaved her head
into more of an Eddie Winslow flat top
just to get even more favor with the LGBTQ American.
It's possible, it's possible.
It's possible, you know, Fitzsimmons joke about it?
No.
Was, you know, they traded, we were reading Grindr
for this guy called the Merchant of Death.
Yeah.
First MWMA trade I've ever heard of.
That's great, and also extremely accurate.
Yeah.
I did that in Ecuador too, coming back,
and like, we gotta, they really,
like, we take yourself to another room,
searching everything.
Oof, and there's also, I mean, that is,
that's kind of like a victimless crime, I guess,
because if they see a small thing,
they'll think you had like a birthday announcement,
and some of the confetti came out of the envelope.
But I mean, they were doing this,
they were going like this too.
Oh, no kidding.
I was like, damn.
And the same thing, I was like, it's done.
Yeah. It's happening. Oh, that's different, yeah. I thing. I was like, it's done. Yeah. It's happening.
Oh, that's different.
Yeah.
I mean, I don't even mess with stuff like that.
The joy I would get from being high, which I'll get to,
because I mean, it is, it's Middle East.
So it's like, it's, and also in Bali in particular
is like a heavily Muslim country.
Yeah.
So they're very conservative with their drug laws.
And all we heard heading in there was like,
you get like Aladdined if you get caught with a joint.
Like your hand will get lopped off at the wrist.
Okay, why Bali?
What was the deal?
Why'd you go there?
So I'm an idiot.
I don't know a ton about other cultures.
I don't know a ton about things even outside of my county.
So my wife just kind of threw it out there as an idea.
And just by the name, like Bali sounds like kind of Tahiti,
tropical, Fiji, whatever.
It does sound really cool.
So I'm just like, Bali, hell yeah.
I have no idea what it is.
I don't know how far it is.
That sounds incredible.
You're going over Fiji.
I'm like, there's beaches.
It does sound the same.
Yeah, there's beaches.
It does sound the same.
That's great.
So, I mean, that's like, she, I had a bit about this,
but like, I'm deathly afraid of sharks
in like a weird kind of abnormal type way
since we live in New York and it's not a,
it's not an everyday fear.
Yeah, we get, I mean. You're not a surfer.
There's enough to be fearful of
within the walls of this city.
You don't need to actually expand that to then see life.
But I, but my wife sold it to me like,
hey, it's gonna be great, like the food is unbelievable,
the weather is really beautiful, she's like, there are,
there's like a huge infestation of sharks.
That was the word she chose.
In Bali?
Yeah, she said infestation.
Wow. Off the shores.
Where like, the water's warm, it's similar to Australia,
it's not far away, it's great white country,
like, you know, people get, people get just consumed.
I look for a time when this is back to great white country.
Yeah.
That's right, that's right.
Just a bunch of slow moving killing machines.
Well, that's cool, so this is your honeymoon.
That's awesome, how long did you go for? We went for two weeks, which's cool. So this is your honeymoon. That's awesome. How long did you go for?
We went for two weeks, which that's the only thing that could make traveling that far worth
it. You know what I mean? Plus as a comic, you don't get this because you have this amazing
brain of compartmentalization where you can just go away for months on end and not even
think that your career and everything is leaving you behind.
But like, if I'm gone for 72 hours,
I feel like everything that I've ever built
is disintegrating in front of me and I get really panicky.
So for me to leave for two weeks, that's like a huge,
especially at that point.
When I went to Southeast Asia and went to Indonesia,
I won't say my stuff, I'll just keep it on yours.
But Joe List was like, aren't you afraid of like missing out?
And I was like, well I just filmed a special.
It's gonna come out when I get back.
I have a TV show that I didn't know I was gonna be
like blackmailed out of at the time.
But I have a TV show, like, what do you mean?
Missing out on what?
And he was like, oh yeah.
And it was just like, comics have to rethink
like what you're missing out on here.
Dude, you had COVID brain before COVID
because you had that life is about more than this
before we were locked inside. And that's such a, like, what do you feel? Like, is there any part of
you that feels kind of like, like I told you idiots? I mean, maybe everyone Delta was kicking up.
Yeah. It was like, Oh, it might come back. I was like, fuck, fuck, fuck. And I was like, Oh, Peru.
Great. Great. lock it all down.
Yeah, well, a lot of my friends,
you saw a lot of comedians get very successful during COVID.
Yes.
Buckle down, we might be drunk, all these podcasts.
Yeah, we tried.
Yeah, you tried.
What's the scenario?
Here's the, who knows, it's over.
The scenario is it's over.
Yeah, it's over now?
Yeah.
Yeah, crazy chaos out every Monday. See my crazy
chaos now. Fuck Sagalorn Feeny. Yeah. You're not even friends with him anymore.
But, but uh, oh but then they're like, oh you could have buckled down. I'm like, or I
could have lived in Ecuador for six months. I'll never get to do that again.
What's your money gonna get you? Yeah. I mean cars., and then cars, sure. Homes, pretty much any of your needs,
all of your needs taken care of.
Nice restaurants.
Yeah, it can do a lot.
When I eat with Shane now, we're going out to eat,
and the check comes and I just slide it to him.
Obviously, obviously.
There's not a question.
There are people like that now where I feel nothing.
Like when I'm out to eat with Rosebud,
I literally just throw the check at her and I'm like,
hey, you asked to be a powerful woman. Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no. I mean, I mean nothing. Like when I'm out to eat with Rosebud, I literally just throw the check at her
and I'm like, hey, you asked to be a powerful woman.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, now you got it.
This is what it is.
I'm not even gonna say thank you.
Yeah, just do it.
You're right there.
It's obligatory.
Yeah, okay, so two weeks is a great amount of time,
I would say.
Yeah.
To me, it takes 12 days to settle in.
But for two weeks, you can really do stuff.
So, okay, so you land in Bali.
So yeah, we land in Bali, which the way out there,
we had not even business class, not even like comfort plus.
We had just normal.
Because I mean, it costs a lot to get out there.
And I was sitting, I was in the middle
because this hammered Australian was next to us.
Like we had a row of three and he was so drunk
that actually him and I became friends
and we just started like slamming,
like I was just ignoring my wife
for the first leg of our honeymoon.
I was just getting after it with this Australian guy.
He ended up falling asleep on my shoulder at some point.
And then we flew, we flew me we flew into the Ayanna resort
That's where we stayed for the first three days. It's in the Jim bar in region
And we I mean dude, this is like this is one of those things where if you travel that far
Yeah, you almost have to have three days
With like your own slaves to get past
You know the the sleep problems.
That's what it was.
It was a five, dude, five star, like people,
not even giving you eye contact,
but also asking you what you need.
Like that-
How sick is it to suddenly feel like a king?
Yes.
They will nibble the dead skin off your heel
if you ask them.
Like it was that kind of like,
and I don't know what it was,
cause we went in September.
So I'm not sure if that was their off season or what,
but it wasn't like overly packed.
There was definitely quite a few like honeymoon couples
from America, because that's honeymoon time for,
or wedding season for us.
But it was like, this place in particular was unreal.
All like total amenities, infinity pools all over the place,
private pools, your own spot.
We got like couples massage, treat to everything.
This was like where we truly balled out
in a way that was like we couldn't in any other situation.
This is like a honeymoon, like what you do.
Wow.
Yeah.
That's sick.
Yeah.
And how much did that cost?
I don't know.
So all of this, we broke 100% even on our wedding.
Which is actually incredible.
What does that mean?
What the fuck does that mean?
We spent probably, I would assume like $50,000,
like including parental stuff, what people kicked in,
all that stuff.
I would assume we had like a $50,000 wedding,
something like that.
Oh, oh with gifts, I get it.
Which I'm against.
Like I'm against spending that much money for just a party.
Like unless you have that kind of fuck you money
where you're not expecting any return.
And it's just, yeah, but I was like,
why don't we just do like a backyard thing?
We'll put this towards like a home
or just have money for us to kind of bum around with. 100%.
But the idea of throwing a big wedding is so you then can have a big honeymoon and that
wedding funded our honeymoon.
So it was like completely worth it.
Wow.
Yeah.
This right here, Kutulambak is the worst place on earth.
No kidding.
Not the worst place on earth, worst place in Bali for sure.
That's where all the tourists are.
It gets so overwhelmed, beautiful beaches.
Yeah, so cause we went, I mean.
So you went right past it, instead of going north,
you went right past it, went down this way, over to here.
Yeah, so the three places we went, we went there,
then we went to Ubud.
Ubud, yeah.
Then we went to the Gili Islands.
Oh, interesting.
Which I'll tell you all about as we get in.
So, I mean, this, again, like, I don't really even remember a lot from the three days at
this resort because all it was was like laying down and being fed grapes and almost like,
you know, people would like rub sunblock on your stomach if you asked them.
Really?
Like, it was that, but I-
Wait, are you exaggerating?
I saw people being helped like with sunblock on their back.
I don't like getting touched so I didn't ask that.
But I 100% watch people that work there apply sunblock on their back.
I have this new theory when people are like, come on, I'm a hugger, come on.
I'm like, well, I'm completely not.
That's painful to me.
You're asking me to put myself in pain because you're a hugger.
It's social.
It really is. Yeah. And I're a hugger. It's social. It's really is
Yeah, and I'm like, this is so uncomfortable. I'm a hugger. Therefore you must consent. Yeah
Hi guys
Ari Shafir here and I gotta tell you a little bit about Mike Cannon the comedian on today's podcast. He's a great comic
He's worked with me in multiple places. He just did, lastly did a show with me and Renaziz. He's raising money for our
World Series tickets because we're as successful as we've been. Renaziz was on a show for 10 years.
I've had a successful, the coolest stand-up comedy show of all time. This is not happening.
And we couldn't afford even 300s. Here's my impression of a Yankee second baseman,
feeling a relay without a man on second base. oh, here we go, oops, oops.

Guys, I'm Ari Shaffir.
Let's get back to the episode.
Mike Hanna, go to Indonesia.
Guys, Bali was fucking sick when I was there, and it's sick when Mike's talking
about it.
It's really just cathartic.
It's amazing.
Bennett, Bennett, come, look at him.
Watch your run, Watch your run. Oh! Ahhhh!
Ahhhh!
Ahhhh!
Ahhhh!
Ben it, I'm hurt!
Ben- Really?
Bro!
Ben it!
Come!
Damn, bro!
Nothing!
Okay, back to the episode.
What was your jet lag like when you went to Indonesia? Oh, well I came from I came from over there. Okay, I came from
Was it Thailand mm-hmm, or is it Cambodia? Oh, okay, so you were either way
Yeah, that wasn't it wasn't it wasn't that cuz I I have never in Myanmar. I never had that's my first place
I didn't get I get it. Someone's coming back. I don't really get it going over dude
I've never experienced anything like this.
When we first got there, we set up a dinner reservation.
Yeah.
I was sitting at this dinner place,
which again, on this five-star result,
unbelievable food that I'll never have again
in my entire life, and I'm falling asleep at the table,
trying my best physical effort to stay upright. to stay up right also because it's way earlier
Yeah, I'm not sure I don't know 12 hours. I did like so our wedding was on the 10th
We did a we did a wedding in the Catskills, which I would highly recommend if you if you want to have like a fun
non-traditional non religious thing 60 style comedy
non-religious thing. It's a 1960s style comedy.
Dude, you wanna hire a bunch of one-liners?
I mean, it basically was, we did kind of get married at the camp that Dirty Dancing was filmed at.
No way, really?
It felt like that. We picked it based on where would we want to do Mushrooms if this was that kind of event.
It's this place called Full Moon, awesome. We had a party the night before, party on the wedding day.
Sunday we all came home,
watched the giant season opener against the Cowboys.
And then on the 12th, on the 12th we flew out.
So like, it was like all this alcohol, all this partying,
all this lack of sleep kind of culminating
in then 24 hours in the air and us landing in Bali
and me feeling
like I was being pulled under the earth
to try to keep my eyes open.
You really gotta like, you really gotta like plan it,
I guess, is like, oh hey, I'm gonna be real tired,
I'm gonna try to not sleep on the plane
or sleep a little on the plane.
But even then, even when you're like,
I'm dead tired at 5 p.m., I gotta stay up till 10.
If I stay up till 10, that means I'll wake up at six,
six, seven, ready to go.
And you like fight it, you stay up till 10, you're like'll wake up at six, six, seven, ready to go. And you like fight it, you stay up til 10,
you're like, okay, now I'm going to bed.
And then at two a.m., you're just like,
wide awake, and you're like, what the fuck?
No, no!
I also get this thing where, I don't know if you do,
where this might also be like a combination
of being a comic and a parent,
is that sometimes when I stay awake for too long, that's it.
I'm never going to bed. Like there's just it's like impossible for me to settle into a mode where I
can then rest my body because I've pushed through all the exhaustion and flags of my body telling me
to rest and go down and I'm like whatever I guess I'm up and this is it. I want to see the price of
the Siana resort. Yeah. $2.37 a night.
Oh, imagine it sucks and I just thought it was sick.
No, I mean, but it's just cheap shit there.
Yeah.
It's just cheaper there.
$2.37 a night is unbelievable.
That's unreal, you couldn't find that,
that's like a road Hilton.
Yeah, it really is, it really is.
That's unreal.
And that's like, hell.
This is in 2016 though also.
So I don't know if that has anything to do with the,
with the pricing or what, but I mean,
even pull up some of the pictures because,
so when we, oh no, we didn't do any of the thing there.
So we stayed there for three nights.
Yeah.
And that was a pure, yeah, look at that dude.
God damn.
That's it.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
I mean, these really, like, doesn't it look like forgetting Sarah it? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I mean, these really. Wow.
Like doesn't it look like forgetting Sarah Marshall?
Wow. Yep.
Yeah.
Wow.
Yeah dude.
Infinity pool to infinity pool to ocean.
Yeah.
What the fuck?
Yep.
What the, what the, who, the gall
to make a double infinity pool.
The fucking gall.
How dare you?
Oh, you got a mirror with a light on it?
Yeah.
I saw every nose hair.
Oh, this looks gorgeous.
Yeah, dude.
Wow.
And going at it, and this is,
I'm glad that I didn't quit drinking
until like well after my honeymoon,
because I'm glad that I really like let it rip for this
and drank as much as humanly possible
Yeah
because even like see those Sun decks over there from the beach where you can walk up those steps and then there's like a
little deck area like
Yeah, those structure up there like even when you got to like chill out right on the water right there and just look out
At that little small landmass and beyond into the water and you could see dolphins jump.
No.
It's like, there were numerous times,
and I don't know if you feel this way,
but when I'm in a place like this,
I couldn't feel less.
Oh, all these too?
Yeah.
You couldn't feel less what, sorry.
Like I belong.
Like I don't feel deserving.
I don't feel like I belong.
I have to make constant jokes about how I don't,
like this isn't right.
This is not me, I'm not this guy, I know right.
Whenever I get bumped up to first class,
it's like, I'm just faking it.
And my wife made me actually take a code of shut the fuck up
after the first day, because she's like,
you're bumming me out by telling me
how much we don't deserve.
I'm a piece of shit.
She's like, can we just like.
It's a honeymoon, it's not your normal fucking stop layover.
I know, but even that, even that takes a like. It's a honeymoon. It's not your normal fucking stop layover. I know.
But even that, even that takes a lot.
It's a golf course?
Oh, I guess so.
I don't even think we even went on that.
Yeah, why would you play golf?
It might just be grounds.
But it was, dude, I mean.
Damn, gorgeous.
Yeah, this whole place, it is the perfect like.
So how long did you stay there for?
Three nights.
Okay.
And that was like, to me, the best transition from dead exhaustion
from travel, wedding, fully be pampered,
do the whole honeymoon thing, no exploring,
just rest and relaxation and fuck.
And then after that, we went to Bamboo Indah in Ubud,
which it's probably on the Internet again.
But my wife sent me all of these, like our shared folder from Bali.
And half of the pictures are of a decomposed kitten that we found.
Yeah. But it's alive.
So that's cool. Yeah.
Bamboo in the in a bud, by far the best food that we've ever had.
Like still to this day, it all.
What did you get?
So it was all like, it was all, it was like normal shit.
Like fish, vegetables, like nothing actually crazy
in terms of cuisine that you like, you know,
like Roachcock or anything, like nothing.
Right, right, right, right, right, no it's not that.
I didn't even mean to flip those words.
But it's just like, like the freshest fish,
the freshest vegetate, like everything just tasted so good
And and you didn't put on any weight you could eat like shit. It was all it was all pretty fucking great
Yes, it's all not you ever have this be friend on I had it. Yeah. Oh totally yeah
Yeah, so I saw a time magazine for once a somewhere. I saw a time magazine best 50 foods mm-hmm pizza was like eight
You know pasta whatever all these different things.
Not like Thai food, it was whatever.
Bee Friend Dong was number one.
And I was like, oh, when I go out there, I gotta find it.
And I was kinda like, I haven't seen it, I haven't seen it.
And then in Ubud, I was like,
oh, they have that Bee Friend Dong, I'll try it.
It blows you out of the fucking water.
It's so savory and just like, it's so fucking good.
Yeah, I got it.
I can kind of taste it a little bit if I put my head there.
It's so fucking good and you can get it.
Okay, well I'll ask more, go ahead.
That might have actually been the gayest,
centralized sentence I've ever said in my entire life
of I can actually taste it if I put my head there.
But yeah, that was like, so that was unreal. said in my entire life of I can actually taste it if I put my head there but yeah
that was like so that was unreal the entire place is made out of bamboo
that's why it's called bamboo and your picture of this no this is online sorry
it's like I'm looking through all of my stuff I have actually oh I do have
pictures of this I have a picture of me in not this one I have it in here's me in the bamboo in the thing and I'm
shedding Wow but that's it from the outside wow wait is that's where you
stay that's where we stayed oh my god yeah an open-air shit yeah it's the
greatest shit got a little emoji there dude an open air shit, there's really not much that,
I've never experienced that before,
I don't know if I've done it since,
but there is a freedom as well as like solitude in that,
that you can't like,
You're on your phone there? Zoom in there.
Yeah, I am.
You are.
You should just be taking it in.
No, you're just missing it all.
You're just missing it all going on Instagram.
Probably checking my likes.
Just a good junkie. A picture you just missing it all. You're just missing it all going on fucking Instagram. Probably checking my likes. Just like a junkie.
I got a picture you just posted of that.
Yeah, 100%.
Let me see if people are responding.
Oh, and then, so we're there.
We do, at Bamboo Indah.
Oh, what?
I'm gonna pull up all this stuff.
So we did, our first night there,
we did this thing called the War of the Gods ceremony.
I don't know anything about it.
Which again, it's like, this was all set up
by the Bam into resort.
So this could very well be like some real white people shit
that they just like give to tourists
that is a small part of their culture
that they don't really care about,
but they've just built it up to have something to do.
Let's talk about that for one second.
Yeah.
These tourist experiences.
I'm torn a little between back and forth
between like it's so lame or it's like, I don't care.
I'll do a little luau in Hawaii.
They don't do this anymore, but it's like,
I don't know, it's just a fun thing to do.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think it was both.
So the thing, I'm very emotional
and sensitive to certain things.
So like, whether or not this is a placebo or real,
I can buy in.
I can kind of really like this.
And this was my outfit.
This was our outfits for it.
That's why it was like minor league baseball.
Yeah, this is literally how.
Wait, they made you do that?
Yeah, they had to, we had to put the whole thing on.
Let me see.
I love it. Dive in.
Yeah, my wife and I, this was the whole,
this was us at the ceremony.
We had to put rice on our forehead.
This was the entire thing that they laid out to all of us you eat on the ground there
Yeah, so that backdrop so you had to do it scenery
You don't even understand the backdrop of this bamboo thing of the bamboo resort
It's over these rice patties right and it's elevated
So all you see is just down this crazy cliff and beautiful, almost like Jurassic Park looking
tropical ravine and then in the distance are all these
rice paddies and then you hear these animals
that are from a different world.
Like being from New York we hear pigeons beeping
all this shit like all the time but you don't hear
those screams like it's a diplodocus in the distance.
Yeah, just like all these birds
that kind of didn't really look like birds.
They looked like a bat-bird hybrid.
Like they were like these sleek animals
that were dive bombing at 390 miles per hour.
It was just like, it was so cool.
And that experience, like the war of God ceremony
was like again
Each time served its purpose right where the first the first place that we went to was a was a decompress
We just got married. Let's get pampered and enjoy this the next one was kind of like hey Let's get to know Bali a little bit. Let's check out the culture
Let's you know let's green light literally everything because they asked us initially if we wanted to do the war of the gods and like
Half the couples were like,
no, like I have no interest, whatever.
It didn't even cost anything.
We just joined.
And then, and we were like, yeah, we're here in Bali, man.
Let's like, let's do everything that we can.
That's so smart.
To do what, you know, and so we did that
and that was really beautiful.
We had, you know, I of course had some sort of spiritual
awakening,
which whether or not it was real, what do you mean? Again, I'm so sensitive and in search
of this shit that if I put myself in the position to fully believe in your ceremony, I'll talk
to God.
Wait, what, what is it? What do you do with the ceremony?
So, you know, deep breaths, putting yourself like it was kind of, yeah I don't know. Yeah, you don't, why would I keep saying that?
It's, they're guiding you through this thing.
So each thing is like,
it's like any other religious thing of like,
put this here, take in a breath,
set your intentions into this.
And it was all very like, not churchy, which I'm used to.
It was all kind of like, feel who you are as a human being.
You're not paying any penance.
You're not like, nobody's mad at you. It's just kind of a feel who you are as a human being. You're not paying any penance, you're not like nobody's mad at you. It's just kind of a religion for you or a ceremony for you to feel good and
shake off some of the bad shit that you've been feeling and welcome in this new perspective and
experience. Whoa. How long did it last? Probably like an hour and a half, two hours. And then we
did this thing. Did your chick like it too? She loved it. Yeah. And then as part of it,
and I think it was that exact night, it was a continuation of the ceremony.
We went into the, into like the town of a bud, the main place,
and we walked around and people like, this was not a part of the resort.
They just took us into this place where they were also having the ceremony and
the people, another ceremony,
similar to war of the war of the gods or it was the same same like
holiday yeah but they were doing a continuation where it's like okay that was part one of the
ceremony part two is in the town square where everybody gets together locals and the locals
they do this whole thing where they were like they were fighting a dragon that they were like
dressed up as there was almost a riot like we got pushed up against concrete walls at one point because people were like acting out this this killing of a dragon and of a god and all this stuff.
And it got to the point where I like had to put my wife behind me and like put like have a hard shell basically around her to protect her because people were like running and bumping into each other so much, it was nuts. Guys, it's the holiday season, I got a good gift for you.
Legitimately good gift for you.

But I'll never forget how genuinely kind and welcoming the people of Bali were
because they were like they just saw us walking around no money no nothing
invited us into their homes asked us to check out how they lived offered food
offered like they didn't we didn't speak the same language we had an assigned
driver I forget his full name but like all of their names start with Iweian and
then something and he was a really good guy
You just pay him like however much it is for the week and he's your driver
He takes you everywhere and so he took us to this ceremony. We go there people are inviting us into their homes
They're like giving us food. They have nothing and they're just giving us food off of like, you know, they're small open
Eating it spitting it out. Just be like this is awful. And you were eating it? Yeah, eating it, spitting it out, just being like, this is awful.
Did you have any hesitation?
Do you have any like, should I pay you for this?
I did, yeah, I offered money and they said no.
It was like, it's not that.
It's not that at all.
It's like a real, I don't know, again,
this is stuff that I'm very sensitive to
and I have a lot of utopic views
about how people could possibly get along together.
And those moments are what kind of keep those going because those people were,
they didn't know me. I'm a guy from America.
They technically shouldn't even be my, like a fan of us.
I guess idea that you're supposed to invite travelers in. Yeah.
That's like one of the godly things. Exactly. Like they need help. Yeah. Wow.
Yeah. And it just like,
just so warm and welcoming and how they guided us
and how they spoke to us and like,
we went through, I mean, that was a full day event
where we went to the middle of this town
and just kind of like,
checked out, like walked down by a ravine.
We ate chicken with our hands by like a river.
What do you mean?
Like we do this thing?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, the little, the T-Rex scoop
and then you have to eat it.
Scoop it and then shove it out with a thumb.
It's crazy.
That's their fork.
They go like this and then they,
and the first time I saw it I was like,
what the fuck are you doing?
I was with another traveler and she was like,
oh, that's, what?
You don't know the hand fork?
Yeah, and then I saw everyone do it and I was like,
and that's why they have those little dishes of water.
Yeah, yeah.
Afterwards you can go like that or before.
Mm-hmm.
And they had like rose water.
They had lemon.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, I'm so jealous now.
It's reminding me of this place.
It was really, I mean, that was like, that was really cool because the whole ceremony
took us down by a thing.
I have this picture with these kids.
This is a part of it too, where this is again us dressed up
with all of these kids in a bud for the God of War ceremony.
And again, these kids.
Look at this, wow.
They don't know us.
Is that the Sufi?
It looks like a Sufi.
They're all kinda doing it.
But isn't that like, so again, to me,
somebody who has never traveled this far, right,
you are more versed in terms of other cultures
and how they react and how they see Americans,
but it's like, even me as somebody like with a kid now,
it's like, kids are kids everywhere.
Like these just look like kids.
Yeah, they play soccer a lot, right?
Exactly, yeah, of course.
So here's a couple things I'll notice
about travel in general.
You've pictured like Indonesia,
what are they gonna be like?
Like t-shirts?
Just t-shirts, that's a Zidjian, whatever, like that's a zidj on whatever like that's a drum yeah drums whatever yeah when I was in Ecuador is all
tick-tock shit mm-hmm and you want them to look like you're dressed here yeah like that's just
not what we do we the shit was made here yeah we're gonna siphon off a few from the factory
it was literally made in Indonesia not even in a similar country.
That is a great point.
But it is funny, it's like you could,
you would see these kids in the Bronx,
like literally anywhere. What do they, what do they do
with your wife? They, I mean they were,
they were nice to her. They were more making fun of me,
actually. They were, they were saying,
I forget what they were saying, because this was seven years ago
at this point, but they were like saying
one particular word
and then they'd run away and laugh.
Boolai?
That kind of sounds right.
Yeah, I think, I think, Farang?
No, that's Thai.
I think it means foreigner.
Boolai, boolai.
Yeah.
I asked our driver and he said something about like,
kind of like white man.
White, yeah, yeah, yeah.
They're all pretty much saying white.
Yeah.
In every one of those countries, it's white or foreigner.
Some is actually the term white. Yeah.'re just like white why it's sort of
okay I was on a shuttle once from in Indonesia to East Timor and everyone
everybody who got on was like looks back and like whatever whatever whatever
it's fine by the one seems like a blue line like blue line blue line I fucking
like I hear you already I know it's derogatory. I know.
Did they laugh at that or at least appreciate
that you picked up on it?
No, they're just like, hmm.
Yeah.
They stopped saying it after that.
But that's what's crazy is like, so these kids,
like, you know, they almost look like they grew up
in apartments like anybody else or a house.
But you go to their homes and their houses,
like you ever see those, I mean,
they kind of look like these kids,
but those like little Mayan dudes
that build like huts out of mud and sticks
in the middle of the woods in TikTok
and it's like this sped up like,
like an ASMR of them building it.
It's like that's what their homes looked like
except worse.
Like they were, they looked like they were hit
by like shell missiles or something.
Like half of the roof would be gone,
part of the walls would fall off but
They'd still just invite you in and be like hey
Do you want to like you want to sleep over it like it was that level of welcome? Wow? Yeah?
That's so cool that that was like that was touching like genuinely touching shit
And this is how that was kids are the best of these places
Yes, they really like a high five to one of those kids watching shit. And this is how that was. Kids are the best of these places. Yes.
They really like a high five to one of those kids.
They fucking make sure they want to take pictures of you and your wife.
Yeah.
Oh, totally.
There's I mean, there is three or four huts in Bali that are just littered with pictures
of my wife.
A blonde white woman is like, dude, that's a fucking sick pic.
Yeah.
So you gotta get absolutely cranking it to that.
So we go and do that and that's like, again,
a beautiful kind of like, wow,
we really made the right decision coming here.
Like this is something special.
And the next day, oh, actually to continue the,
continue the spiritual shit,
we then went to a bunch of like these temples, right?
Where this was a, which by the way, look at that zoom in in you see that right behind my head. Oh, you're having a moment
Yeah, oh, yeah, that I know so it's interesting. I am having a genuine moment
My wife caught me in a fucking really embarrassing
Touching my heart feeling close to the gods of Bali
But yeah, there's pagan swastikas go deeper. I deeper. I want to show two things. One, it's a reverse swastika. Uh huh. It's
not the right direction. I think. Yes. Um, is that true though? No, you're right. You
are right. Yeah, they're everywhere. It's so shocking. They're on the manhole covers.
Yeah. It's just like, it's a good luck thing, which is crazy that that might have been the
second worst thing Hitler did was was taking away a good luck side
Um and making it into the horrible side
That's what's funny is like yeah, you want to tell a guy from texas that the gays didn't ruin the rainbow entirely
Hitler did worse to the swastika
And then look at that thing behind you and on the other one
Uh, do you know what those are? It's like a gift to the god, right?
Yeah, they put them out at like either daily
or weekly or monthly, I don't know,
but then they burn them and then they kind of
leave them there.
So this was kind of intense this day.
So we went right from, I think this was the next day,
where we went into this and my wife actually got her period.
And on, I mean, this is like full, muzzy country.
So they are like, they're like,
if you're a woman with your period,
just go to the mountains and don't come back until you're eaten by a wolf.
Look, you really are having a fucking moment.
What a dork. What a dork. Oh my God.
You're really fucking soaking it in. Dude.
Nobody makes up their own religions like white people.
It's like creating all these rules of your new God.
Fiat can soak it in, oh my God.
And they'd be like, this was the God of fucking pillaging.
Dude, that is 100% real.
I am creating the God of my father.
I'm picking from the buffet to actually have a dad
that loves me.
Wearing a long day shirt, what is that?
No, it's that like legalized weed,
like just a total asshole in the middle of Bali.
Yeah.
Just, so, but this again, it's like,
I can convince myself that this is real,
that these waters have some sort of healing thing
and they may may they may not
But it's one of those things where when I came out of that water and touched my heart
That is as sincere as I've ever been
And you're freshly married too. Freshly married with a swastika behind my head.
It all makes sense though.
Having a real moment with a swastika behind your head is, that's, that's peak weight.
So yeah, we definitely, I mean, we had to like, you know, hide the fact that my wife was going through is that's that's peak weight.
So, yeah, we definitely I mean, we had to like, you know, hide the fact that my wife was going through her her period at this point.
I mean, not that anyone would know, but, you know, she couldn't go in the water.
Like, you know, just kind of like just survey the scene from the outside.
The gods will be angry.
The gods will be livid.
So that whole thing. I see that picture one more time. Oh, yeah
Straight up too
Yeah, I'm like breathing in a little bit of water there, oh my God. Dude. You still got your shirt on like a fat dude.
Well, I wasn't in, I was drinking,
so my shoulders look kind of okay in that picture,
which I'm happy about,
but there is a true slop mess in my torso.
So we do that.
Okay.
That's amazing.
After we're done with that we go get
What's your Instagram? I am Mike Cannon. Guys, everyone listening
Obliterate this with fucking
Obliterate it with comments. It's back to it's back in September of 2016
So you're gonna have to do some scrolling but it's the face you make after being blessed at
Purah turtha and pool the water temple in a bud
Yeah
so
Just as embarrassing as it gets, you know, really manufacturing a moment for myself
manufacturing a moment for myself.
Okay. Okay. Okay. We can move on.
So I think also the driver thought I was lame after this because like after he
saw, you know, the impact emotionally and spiritually that this had on me, he was like, all right, so in a way to cleanse both of us from this, he's like,
do you guys want to see cock fighting? And we were like, yeah. Well,
my wife was like, no. And I said, yes. And she was like, what do you mean?
I was like, no, yes. Wait, what? Exactly. Yeah. Well, and I turned to her and I was like,
wow. I was like, we are never like, this is not a sanctioned United States event.
We're never going to be able to see this in any other capacity. Again, if we're here to see all
of all of Bali and what the culture does, this is part of it.
Yeah, 100%, I love that.
And the guy said, he was like, this is the culture,
and the fact that it's the war of God ceremony
is the reason these cock fights are happening,
because these chickens would be cooked,
reason these cock fights are happening,
because these chickens would be cooked anyway,
roosters, and so they're basically sacrificing themselves
through entertainment, through some stuff.
The one I went to, they told me that the owner
of the winner gets to eat the loser.
Like you go home with it.
That's sick.
Everyone's gambling on it, but that's the, you know.
I think this was more for the town, or their village,
because it was such a big thing.
No, they wouldn't let us.
So I tried to take out my phone for this
and they were like, they're like, just, nah.
The driver was like, don't do that.
And I was like, okay, that's fine.
But I hadn't smoked cigarettes in probably like five years
at this point, but every Balinese man
was in full catcher's position, ripping butts,
and boy, I joined him.
Dude, I like wore out the rest of my MCL,
just being in position with them. Dude, I, I like wore out the rest of my MCL, just being in position, just ripping butts. I was bet.
I was so bad at picking winning, uh,
cocks that they started waiting for me to place my bet so they could bet against
me. And the thing I didn't know about,
about cock fighting is they tie a blade to their ankle and they had a whole
binder, like almost a CD binder of blades on velvet.
It was awesome.
Dude, I saw the same thing in East Timor,
which is kind of Indonesia.
Yeah.
Yeah, they go through it with like a CD case
and like looking at which blade to get
and then like making this,
everyone's crouched around them.
Will you tell me your experience?
No, that's exactly it,
where they were like trying to fit it perfect to the bird
and like to the proportion and stuff like that.
So they'd tie it up.
My-
One, they get one, right?
They get one, yeah.
My wife is horrified.
Like I wish I actually could have had a camera
just on her the entire time.
Guys, stop that,
it's just my wife's disgusted by your whole thing.
Your whole thing here.
But then she warmed up and actually started like taking,
she started taking our regular camera cause they said we couldn't have cell phones
But then we could have our regular camera. I just remembered that so when my wife had our regular camera
Which I don't know where those pictures are
I'll if I find those pictures
I'll get them to you
But um
She definitely could take a regular camera was taking pics and stuff like that because it started raining and we had to come under
The fight canopy and it was this whole thing.
But the first roosters that we saw
had their things tied up.
They immediately went,
boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop.
And they both killed each other.
In what, like they went,
boom, boom, boom.
They both dropped dead instantly.
That was the first fight.
That was the first fight we watched.
And I was like,
ah, like couldn't believe it.
So fired up. My wife's like half throwing up all the Balinese guys are like losing their minds
I'm taking out six point five million rubles
Whatever, you know that that's a currency. You remember? I think it is rubles rubles. I think so
Yeah, or rupees or something something happy rupees, but um, yeah
Yeah, babe, it was definitely just it's way more than what you so it's like
You know you put in a thousand then you get like eight million or something like that. You're like. I'm fucking rich
This is how much was the betting not much. No. It's like you know I think like a thousand
Rupees or some like rubies each time like I how much American I over bed a couple times, and they were like you know
You don't have to do this. Yeah, like what are you doing?
a couple times and they were like, you know, like you don't have to do this. Yeah. Like what are you doing? I was like, I just didn't know what was going on. So I'm like half throwing
money at dumb shit. Like it's probably an easy. What do you do? You just go, Hey, I
got, I got two on that white one, two white one. And someone goes, I'll take that. Yes.
It was one guy collecting. So there was no, like, there was no odds or anything like that.
It was just kind of like you'd get paid out. There, one to one. So I didn't win a single solitary bet
the entire time. Like literally 0 for, and I think we bet like 20. Wow. And I went 0 for 20 on every bet.
We're gonna lose like 50 bucks. Yeah, probably something like that. But it was fine. It was like, it was so cool.
It's good way to put money in the community. Yeah, exactly. I Without charity. I did feel like I was kind of giving back to them
on some level.
I'm trying to figure out what the next thing is
that we did.

We rolled the dice one last time.
Landman, new series now streaming
exclusively on Paramount+.
So we get done with the cock fighting,
and this guy, he continues to take us around.
I mean, I don't know if you shopped there.
Did you do any of that?
For like what?
Like any of the tourist shit
of any kind of souvenir or whatever?
I had just a backpack.
So anything I bought, I'd have to jettison something.
Yeah.
So I was pretty free of the need to do that.
I mean, this makes like Crown Heights Jews
who are looking to see if you're a Jew
seem like the most polite humans on planet Earth.
Why, why?
They are so up in your face physical with you
Pulling you literally pulling you into a thing where you have to kind of forcefully
Look like create space and be like absolutely not like get off of my body
Like that type of shit and you know, they get most people because people are just like honey
This is so exciting like as they're dragged into a hut
Well, they you know spend God knows however many on a clay item.
Wow.
Yeah.
So that was like really.
Where was that, in Ubud?
That was in Ubud, yeah.
Yeah, that was high octane, just.
How was your bowels the whole time here?
When we were at the bamboo place, really good.
So I have a thing where if I fly anywhere over five hours
I can't shit for a couple days.
And it's a problem.
Like I-
Probably served you here.
Huh?
Probably served you well here.
It's terrible.
Okay.
No, it's a problem.
Dude, if I fly to-
A couple days, oh yeah.
If I fly, like I flew to San Francisco years ago
to visit my mother and I couldn't shit for four days.
What?
And I drank a full bottle of aloe.
Like that's supposed to be like, like that's supposed to like make you, it's almost like
doing a bump of Coke. It's supposed to actually flush your system. And I still didn't shit.
It was just a, like a calcified ball blocking my entire asshole. Damn. Where did you just
go? I went to see if I have anything from Indonesia here.
I don't think I do.
Well that's the thing, I think I bought a Christmas ornament that broke.
When you said bring some souvenirs, I was like, truly nothing has lasted the test of
time.
I saw that shirt at the clock fights in East Timor.
Oh that's awesome.
Some guy had that and I've been searching for it forever.
A fan sent it to me.
It doesn't fit me though.
So I put it up here.
That is very cool. I'm trying I feel like there was one other
thing that I wanted to talk about from a monkey forest yes yeah absolutely that
is exactly what it is did the war of gods oh we did I we did this thing also
I'll get to the monkey thing so we drove our friend got us dinner a dinner
reservation and massage at Pita Maha, which
is like this unbelievable resort in a bud that again, infinity pools, like, you know,
dinosaurs roaming the earth.
We got this crazy massage, first dude massage of my entire life.
And now I kind of will never go back.
These chicks have no strength.
No, they're putting their fingers like just bend too much.
They give this man
This just dude with his you know, yeah, the girls are here are getting all the best massages
That's right. And the guys are getting the worst ones just based on pure homophobic guys are getting the worst massages because you're dumb homophobia
But yeah, so we did that we got that we did a hike behind our resort, which again, because it went down,
it was almost like you had to, I'm saying like a lot,
but you had to come down an entire mountain
by rope and shit.
So you had to descend some of it,
and then some of it was trail.
Then we saw these wild pigs,
all these different animals and stuff like that
that you just don't run into in America,
or at least in the wild, you know?
What is it, Costa Rica?
We went on like a sloth and monkey tour, you know?
And we're like, do you ever get tired of seeing
these monkeys?
And the guy was like, yeah, whatever.
He goes, but what I really want to see is a deer.
It would be so cool.
We're like, we have him in our backyard all the time.
He's like, no way.
What? He's like, yeah, they're annoying actually. They eat all the time. He's like, no way. What?
It's like, yeah, they're annoying actually.
They eat the plants.
And he's like, wow.
It's wild to consider that exotic is relative.
Exotic is relative.
It's not, they're like, oh, we live in an exotic location.
No, it's exotic is to America and Britain.
If you show, I mean, every, first of all in Bali,
I have never seen, I mean, you see some of those TikToks
of like guys in Brooklyn holding their baby
while on a Segway.
And you're like, wow, that's unbelievable.
Yeah.
In Bali, there's women on a motorized scooter
with an infant in one hand,
a two-year-old sitting on the platform there,
groceries hanging off their back,
and they're weaving in and out of traffic
with their one arm. Wow. And you're like, what dude, how
were you? How is it? No, nobody's wearing. There's not
even lanes. There's no traffic laws. It's all a suggestion.
Nobody's wearing a helmet. It's just pure mayhem. Like they
asked us if we wanted to rent scooters. And a friend of ours,
I think had gone to Bali and did that and crashed within 30 minutes of getting oh really like tore
her whole leg up was like they call it the uh
The tie tattoo yes, yeah, yeah all these chads go out there and just fucking I could go 90
Okay, yes it weigh in our driver
We've done it all figured an open wound on his ankle your driver did our driver, and I just go hey man
What's that over there? He's like like, if you look, everybody has this.
He's like, because we ride scooters
and you're bound to crash.
Wow.
He's like, there's no not crashing.
Yeah, every time you see, well they all seem to get people
know how to cross the street and stuff,
then you start noticing a lot of people with limps.
Yeah.
Just permanent limps.
Yeah.
Oh, and every dog had like 11 inch nipples
and were just like laying on the side of the road.
They'd get up, they'd be dragging their phalange nipples
down the street.
It was like, it was so disgusting.
Straight dogs are a thing.
And then every time you see a puppy, you pick her up,
and be like, oh, it's so cute.
And you're petting it, you're like,
there's fleas everywhere.
Yeah, it's just gonna completely take it over your arm. But you also realizeting it like, there's fleas everywhere. Yeah, it's just gonna completely take it over your arm.
But you also realize you're like, that's why they eat dogs.
They're just everywhere.
They like fish.
Do you see any warungs?
What's that?
It's kinda the way to eat,
which just like, it looks like a pizza window,
but with like a curtain behind it,
and it's got different meats.
No.
Okay, maybe that's more rural.
No, that's cool though.
Yeah.
Is that like kind of those conveyor belt sushis?
Like they kind of refill it and you open it up?
Yeah, they'll come out with like a new dish,
put the thing in and take it out like a whole full buffet,
but then just meat out for hours.
You know?
Yeah.
That's maybe where I had dog.
Yeah.
At one of those,
because I couldn't quite understand what they were saying.
And then they were serving dog.
I was like, no.
And then I did have like a mixed meat stew.
And then it hit me later.
I'm like, well, if it's mixed, it'd be all the meats.
One of those burgers that's like beef, pork,
Angus, the whole thing,
and you're like, fuck, they snuck a dog in here.
Yeah, I grew up kosher.
I was like, a burger,
like, hot dogs are supposed to be all beef.
Like, no, no, that's a luxury.
It's like made with some beef. Um, yeah, the dogs are a real thing.
The stray dogs. Yeah, it was really, uh,
you scared of them at all.
I was scared of getting, of getting bit,
but they're so lethargic that they, it didn't really look like a threat.
I've heard that any of the aggressive ones just get beaten to death
So they they bred out of the out of the circle and then they're just no like they're scared of people
Yeah, because they're just get kicked whatever yeah, they like scrounging no fucking way not allowed like you're not a human know your place
Yeah, and this this play a boot is where we did the bulk of our
Of our trip so all of this is kind of expanding over like probably a week. I guess or so
So yeah, we do that see all the dogs all that stuff. We did this thing called patiquing
Or batiking which is like painted fabric with wax and dye over it
And we just like it's like something that they do
with their clothes and I guess some of their designs,
but we went through that entire thing.
You guys really got lost out there, huh?
You really like dove in.
I love it.
I'm a go with whatever guy.
Like I will do whatever anybody wants to do.
I don't say no to anything,
especially when I'm in a different place.
And my wife is a planner, so we're perfect together.
She's like, whatever you want, she's like,
I was like, I'll do anything.
Especially if it's stuff that we can't do here.
I was like, I'll literally do anything.
So.
And also you have nowhere to be, so it's like,
yeah, let's spend two hours under some class.
Exactly.
And you put, you know, this is kind of before algorithm,
but even so, it's like, I'm posting at like,
middle of the night hours, so it doesn't matter.'t matter it's like you know all that kind of stuff it it
disconnected me in a good way from everything but had it been now I
probably would have ruined the trip with you know scheduling posts and all that
bullshit but uh so we ended up going to the monkey the monkey forest we have two
more two more stops in a bud we did the monkey forest. We have two more, two more stops in a bud. We did the monkey forest where, you know,
we went to the less, they said there's one
where they're really aggressive and they steal.
And they're like, they kind of like really get up
in your face and it's an immersive monkey experience.
And then there's another one where they're a bit
kinder monkeys.
Where's it weird?
There was also weirdly at the monkey forest we went to,
at the cafe we got a beer from,
they had an open mic there, like the day after we left.
And if it was there, I would have done it.
Really?
Yeah, I would have totally done it.
Just to be like, oh, what the fudge.
I saw an open mic in, or show anyway,
show or mic in Myanmar, it was like my first week
going for who knows how long.
And then I was like, I don't wanna bomb here
and have that be my last set for months.
No fucking way.
That's a good point actually.
Last set for months would have been a tough one
to hold onto.
What am I even going back to?
Yeah.
So we're watching the monkeys, we're taking pictures.
It's really cool.
Like they are more passive,
but there's certainly some of them
that are like grabbing bags, especially if you have food.
Like one of them was trying to open my wife's bag a lot and was like trying to
get, you know, trying to get all her stuff.
And I saw, this is the hardest I've laughed, I think in, in 10 years, in, in
full 10 years, dude, is I watched this lady who was, you know, middle America,
whatever, and she's like, a monkey, middle America whatever and she's like a monkey jumped on her shoulder
And she's like Jeff take a picture. There's a monkey on my shoulder and her husband was like, oh my god
I can't wait. He like starts to say you'll get his camera ready and another monkey jumps on her shoulder. She's like
Oh my god, there's two of them. Take a picture quick. And as he's taking the picture, they start fucking on her head. They start literally banging on her shoulder and head,
and this guy's taking a picture
of these monkeys having full sex.
Greatest picture.
I almost asked him to like airdrop it,
or like could I please get a copy of that too,
that's unreal.
Babe, remember we used to do that?
Wow.
Yeah, we used to be exciting.
You used to fuck me on Taurus shoulders.
Wow.
Yeah.
So that was like-
Those monkeys are wild.
They tell you not to look them in the eye, right?
Yes. Yeah.
So then they come close, you gotta look nearby them,
but you wanna keep dibs tabbed on them
because I don't want them coming at you,
but if you look at them like that, they're like,
what the fuck?
They're just like, all right, sorry.
Well, then a part of you feels like a bitch
for like laying down to a monkey,
even though strength wise, obviously monkeys are
the superior species, but you still, as a human,
as somebody who is a part of society
that has built buildings and created this infrastructure,
you wanna look a monkey in the eye and be like,
you're nothing, but you can't.
It's like your strength to nothing here.
All you can do is build fences around this.
Did you bring any of your guns or anything?
Yeah, no.
You didn't, right?
Maybe you guys are not that smart.
Wow, that's funny.
Yeah, I saw people taking people's milkshakes
or their lattes.
Yeah, yeah.
Cause I know, not here, but I've heard in other countries,
oh, I gotta tie that thing in again.
They'll know how to trade them.
I think in India, they'll grab your glasses off.
And it's like food.
Oh really?
No kidding.
Yeah.
They know glasses bring you food.
They know anything in a wrapper,
not a wrapper, like a plastic bag.
Yeah.
They're like, that's probably food in there.
So when I was in Hong Kong,
they guys were like,
hey, don't bring any plastic bags here,
even if it's just your shoes.
They'll think it might be food.
It's wild.
It's wild.
They, I mean, they, you know, that again,
that's another one of those experiences.
It's this cultural shit that you're like, okay,
that's not something I have to deal with.
It just kind of opens you up a little.
Well, and then also like,
just kind of wow from a animal perspective,
where you're just like this is like monkeys
The only thing that does separate us is these societies that we've built and if we were on kind of just an open field
Versus it would be a huge problem. Yeah, it'd be a real book. It'd be a real issue
Yes, it may I mean it made me like it made me really appreciate or at least be in awe of you know
In awe as well as bummed out by all the things
that we've built over here.
Where it's like, oh, there's other ways to live
and it doesn't seem that invasive
and it seems like you can kind of coexist with a lot more
if you actually try and put in the effort.
But also it's pretty crazy that we bulldozed
an entire natural land and just built these,
you know, hundreds of story fucking buildings
and shit.
So Uber was great.
Yeah, then we went to, we went to the zoo.
We're big zoo people.
We went to the Bali zoo and that was cool.
I mean, you know, you saw, we just got to see some of the animals that we didn't get
to see naturally, which were like the elephants and things like that.
Right.
Um, then to end our trip, I think this was like two or three
nights, we went to the Gili Islands.
We did.
I always thought the Gillies were in Thailand.
That's wrong.
They're there.
Yeah, I think it's still considered part of Bali.
It's definitely Indonesia.
It's off the coast of Bali.
So there's two of them.
One is a party island.
It's kind of like the movie the movie
Couples retreat where there's one for like, you know spirituality and fun and then there's one for like if you want to get your fuck on
And we went to Gili air which was the non-party more chill we stayed at the Grand Sunset Gili
a but the boat that took us out there
sunset gilly.
A boat that took us out there,
dude, it's like we were trying to escape Cuba like it
was so rundown.
There's holes in it.
There's like the engines we find
out in the middle of the water that
the boat that took the group before
us blew up and killed
a new husband and wife,
blew his fucking leg clean off his
body. Or it didn't kill the wife. It killed just the groom, his fucking leg clean off his body or it didn't kill
the wife it killed just the groom blew his leg completely off his body because
he was standing near the engine that blew up that exploded and it killed him
on the way to the place that they were also going in the boat after them on our
honeymoon and and then like dude those, those boats, like Nicole,
as we're at the dock, she's just like, I don't know, man,
like this looks really bad.
And I was like, do you want to rent a jet ski?
Like, I don't know how else we get there.
Do we not go?
That's the thing.
It's like, I remember reading about a few airlines.
Don't take this airline.
Yeah.
It was like one of like in Myanmar,
like take Myanmar air, but not Myanmar airline.
And I'm like, what?
And then you forget once you're there.
I'm like, no, I don't have a phone
Another one was don't take the Indonesian fairies. Yeah, they're notoriously bad. Yeah, and then you're like well
I'm going to this next island. You're like, hey, can I not take a ferry? They're like what that's the way to get there
Yeah, I guess I'm I guess I'm taking a Indonesian ferry. Yeah, some of them sink
Yeah, it's like too far between islands. You're just your dad plus the current dude
Wow, it was really it was really something but then like when you get when we got to that island that island was very cool
Cuz it felt like you were almost shipwrecked like obviously there's hotels and stuff like that
But it felt very kind of like you're kicking around on almost an un an unfurnished island
That seems very like just you you know, casual, relaxing, all that stuff.
Everybody was Australian,
cause that is like their place.
Australia's love Bali.
Love it. Love it.
I mean, it's basically they're like Key West.
They can get there so easily.
Yeah.
Cheap beers, but everywhere
has better coke than Australia.
Yeah.
And buckets.
They love a bucket.
That's more Thailand.
But that, so that scared me is like the Gili Islands,
I had heard that they were big on psychedelics
and that you could do psychedelics,
but it's still a Muslim island,
and they were telling my wife to cover up
when we left the hotel grounds, like,
it was like kind of, not intense,
but there's a whiff of what, you know, of like,
it could be a problem.
Indonesia is the biggest Muslim country.
Yeah, yeah. So we're like, you know, there's Australians that are like, I'll sell you a, of like, it could be a problem. Indonesia is the biggest Muslim country. Yeah, yeah.
So we're like, you know, there's Australians
that are like, I'll sell you a joint, like whatever.
And they're not that violent.
They've had a couple terrorist attacks on themselves.
Oh really?
Yeah, I think more uprisings,
but not like, not Islam based,
but it's the biggest Islamic country.
And I think the reason, well, no Arabs,
no Arabs, what I was saying. Maybe it's not Islam. Maybe it's Arabs
Maybe it's not the religion at all
So either way they uh
Yeah, everybody everybody was Australian. Yeah, we we yeah
I showed you the picture of the decomposing cat that my wife just demanded to care for yeah
Like you know the the full that we were on there.
Like dude, this thing had like no eyes.
Look at it.
What do you mean?
It's got like ants growing off of it.
Like this is just, I don't even know why I have all these pictures.
It's alive?
Yeah, this thing is alive and there is no world where it looks at.
Like that's a dead animal, right?
Yeah.
But it's just moving slightly so
yeah that we made from my wife and I made friends oh with like with this
Australian older couple and this is so funny man because it gives you an
international perspective on like American politics is this this was
September of 2016 heading into November of 2016, Hillary versus Trump and just to hear Australians and foreign
perspective on it was just like was interesting because you know all of them just from what they are
Are fed or or see or whatever. They're like this guy Trump. They're like, there's no way, right?
Like there's just no way and I being a road comic. I'm trying to explain to him that he's gonna win
Yeah, the people who write the stories you read are Jews. They are not, they're a Harvard
educated Jews and they're more upscale and they don't think, they don't meet
people from Dayton. Right, yeah. So they can't imagine a world where anyone would vote for them. Yeah, I'm getting the
temperature of the country. Yeah, that's interesting to get an outside perspective.
Yeah, yeah, so that was cool. It. That's interesting to get an outside perspective.
Yeah, so that was cool.
It was kind of like the guy we were talking to
almost looked like Tan Phil Leotardo from The Sopranos.
He had just like slick back, silver hair,
very like an Australian accent that almost didn't fit
with his face and body, but they were so kind and so nice.
And we just like hung out with them for three days.
We got dinner with them, we hung out with them for three days. We got dinner with them. Cool. We hung out with them. Like, you know,
and they were like normally like that or no? No. Yeah. It's something I found after like
seven, eight days of being alone or just with someone they like, oh, now my loneliness is
kicking up. Yeah. Before I have no loneliness. We're comedy clubs. We're talking to people
and friends constant. Like I'm, I'm craving to be alone. And then after a while, in China it was like that.
I was like alone, alone.
By the time I got to Hong Kong, I was like,
what are we all doing?
What's the scene?
Let's go.
Let's go out.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I feel that way, and it's funny because we were technically
with each other, but we both were like,
let's like make friends, let's see.
And I am not a vacation friend guy.
I don't go on couples trips
and make friends with other couples.
I have no interest in having dinner with you.
But for whatever reason, it might have been that
we've been out for a while,
and now these people are so kind, they're older.
They're not people we would be friends with
in the first place.
It was kind of a perfect, almost like.
Where are you guys from?
Full of dalliance. Hello, that's nice.
Yeah. What's it like there?
Yeah. I don't know. That's a. Yeah. What's it like there? Yeah.
That's a broad question.
But like everywhere, they were selling mushrooms.
They were selling mushrooms dipped in acid.
What?
Which I had never done acid at that point,
so I was really scared.
Mushrooms dipped in acid?
And I also was scared.
I was scared about doing a hallucinogen in a place
where that's like heavily illegal.
Yeah.
Like I don't want to be caught in the middle of a trip and be confronted with an authority figure. about doing a hallucinogen in a place where that's like heavily illegal. Yeah.
Like I don't wanna be caught in the middle of a trip
and be confronted with an authority figure.
My friend got arrested
chasing after Benji O'Fallow naked.
He was like chasing after in his apartment
and then he was like, oh, Benji's like, I'm leaving.
And then he didn't know how much time passed.
And then he was like, no, let me go find this guy.
It could have been an hour later.
So he's running around West Hollywood naked,
cops picked him up like, no, you're in a major,
you're on Fountain, you know?
And they put him in jail, but now he's in jail on acid.
It's not like, hey, tomorrow when you're sober,
come back to jail.
It's like, you're the worst possible place in jail.
Oh God, that sucks.
Yeah, so that's a pretty, so you wouldn't take the acid?
No. Take the mushrooms?
No, I didn't take anything.
I got scared, I didn't even smoke weed.
I was smoking cigarettes because I actually feended weed that bad by the end? No. I just mushrooms. No, I didn't take anything. I got scared. I didn't even smoke weed. I was smoking cigarettes because I actually
fiended weed that bad by the end of it that I was like, I gotta like do something. So I was like just ripping butts and it wasn't it was I
threw up from I got like actually sick from smoking cigarettes. Let me ask you a question. This place can ever come to this into your trip? Yeah,
with any tips you would give anybody if they're going?
Or that you would tell yourself,
I wish I had brought this or done this,
or spent more time, less time, I don't know, whatever.
I actually, this is like one of the few trips,
and it's probably because my wife put the whole thing
together, but it was done proper the whole way through.
Like none of it was a fuck up.
You brought sandals?
Yeah, brought sandals.
The one thing actually, you you know what put sunblock on
your back when you're going to snorkel with turtles nice because I forgot oh
yeah and I just had they're up and you're looking down I had like a back
of the heel new sneaker blister just on the hump of my back. It was awful.
It was so, and I was just like in pain
for two or three days after that.
Oh, so just to close it out, this is how it ended,
which is kind of the most interesting part
of the whole trip is, so on the way back,
two weeks are done, we're getting ready to leave,
we're all set, it's raining, drizzling or whatever,
delays, delays of the flight.
What the fuck is going on? They cancel our flight out of nowhere.
It turns out that it's because it's a union rule that the people couldn't fly
that much back to back hours. They had to stop overnight and then they had to
pick it up the next day.
They tried to act as though it was an act of God that it was the weather that
diverted everything. So they didn't have to make good on the insurance.
They always do that.
I had, diverted everything so they didn't have to make good on the insurance. They always do that. I
organized a sit-in in the Qatar Airlines office of the Doha or of the Bali airport.
Me and 20 Spaniards from Spain sat in the office refused to move until I got them to write us all notarized letters that this was not an act of God and our insurance should be honored. And I got them to write us all notarized letters that this was not an act of God and our insurance should be honored and I got
Them to sign to sign it for all of us Wow
It literally people from Spain like shaking their fists being so fired up. Thank you all the shit
So my wife violates Sharia law in Doha and almost like gets killed
We we have this letter or whatever,
we're not going back to fucking Indonesia at any time soon.
So my wife takes the letter,
goes straight to the Qatar Airlines thing.
The guy shakes my hand, goes, hello, Mrs. Cannon.
She grabs his hand and shakes him,
like just fucking raw dog hand there.
And he's like, ah, like just a very clear violation
of their religious rules.
And he kind of like, ah, and I'm like, please go by the gate.
I'm like, it looked like there was gonna be a thing.
I was like, I need you to go, don't read a book,
just don't vote, go over there, look normal.
And I talked that guy into giving both of us $15,000 pods,
business class pods from Doha to New York
for the flight back 13 and a half hours
where I drank like 20 year whiskey the entire time.
Didn't sleep a wink because I wanted to live it up.
I'm eating every meal, every snack, ordering or blacking out watching silver linings playbook,
you name it dude, in a complete lay down, unbelievable brand new Qatar Airlines plane.
Wow, that's a nice airline too.
Up there, wow, and pods.
Yeah, unbelievable.
What a good honeymoon.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, we ended up coming back a day late,
but because of that, and because of my sit-in.
Worth it.
Yeah, we got that.
Oh, and they put us up in a hotel in the airport
We made friends with like the Lithuanian couple if you're like we can go for 14 days or 15 if we stay an extra day
We'll have to pay for an extra food. That's seven dollars, but we'll get pods and a free hotel
Oh, well the 15 done the 15 done. We do have to make a trip to the airport
They're right back like yeah the 15
Wow, yeah sick
But highly highly recommend all three of those places.
It does seem like those are the three spots to go.
In Bali, again, if you're coming off of a long flight,
pamper yourself those first few days,
take care of yourself, rest up,
put yourself in the middle of a bud
for the bulk of your journey,
because that's right in the woods,
right in the thick of everything.
You get to see.
It's so different than the oceans. So different. You're in the jungle.
It seems like an island. It's massive. Yes.
It's not like, you know, it's not like, yeah, it's bigger than Hawaii. I think maybe. I'm not sure.
Yeah, I'm not sure. But like you go in and you're like, you're in.
Yeah. You're not near the ocean.
No, it is. It is the thick, thick woods. Jungle.
Yeah. And then the Gilly Islands were just like,
each place was remarkably different from each other
and kind of perfectly planned out
in terms of how we should have both started the trip,
bulked the trip, and then came down from the trip.
Yeah, because people come back from vacations
and they go right back to work the next day.
They get back at like 7 p.m.
And it's like tough,
and so I'm almost like, you want to land Saturday afternoon.
So you can have all day Sunday to chill, recuperate almost, and then go back to work. But going to a beach to end is like kind of that. Yeah, well funny enough, the day I flew home,
24 hours in flight, I'm hammered from drinking all this whiskey.
We get home in the morning.
That night I had my Axis live taping.
Oh really?
Yeah, I hadn't done stand up in two weeks.
I'm half hungover.
I'm fat faced from the fucking honeymoon.
It was a great day.
It was a great day.
I'm happy.
I'm happy. I'm happy. I'm live taping. Yeah. I hadn't done stand up in two weeks. I'm like half hung over.
I'm fat faced from the fucking honeymoon.
Yeah. Big at the time. It did not matter. Wow. That's awesome.
That's what a fucking trip dude. Yeah. It was really,
it was a trip of a lifetime truly. Damn. Um, way to go.
Way to fucking do something nice instead of going to fucking New York.
Right.
You know?
Go to like the woods and fucking whatever.
Something different and honestly,
all credit goes to my wife for that
because I would have like,
I'd have been like, let's go to Hawaii.
Some hack shit.
Yeah.
You have any travel tips?
I ask everybody this.
It's okay if you don't have one
but just a thought if you have one of like when you travel you ask everybody this. It's okay if you don't have one, but just a thought, if you have one of like when you travel,
you should do this.
I always take edibles before I get on a plane. That's a good one.
Everybody's going to tell you pack light, do whatever. That's the massive one.
Yeah. Like I am,
I am edibles before a flight and I take a tremendous amount because that's the
only way to get some sleep and it's going to get me there.
Yeah. So you can be high the whole way. Yes, especially long flights. Yeah. Yeah, that's so like before so you're not cranky and fucked up
You're like, oh, I just came up a great trip
I had to just fly I flew early in the morning the other day down to Tampa and I took
200 milligrams as I arrived to the airport. So by the time I get through security it started the march is on
Yeah, the warmth is is approaching and so I start to feel it. Whatever by the time I get through security, the march is on. The warmth is approaching.
And so I start to feel it, whatever,
you get yourself a coffee.
I actually don't get a coffee
because I'm trying to sleep, it's early.
And I just zone out, listen to a pod,
an NBA pod, and then just I'm out.
One tip for that is be careful how early you take it.
Me and Nick Thune did it on the way back from Montreal,
like taking the shuttle.
And we were in trying to do the thing of like,
enter the first three letters of your city,
and we were like, kept looking at,
we were like copying off each other, like,
what are you putting for this?
Like, oh my God, and we just like,
it was so hard to do it.
We're like, what the fuck?
So I say, as you get to the airport,
so once you get through security,
as you're boarding, like here it is.
Oh yeah.
And set an alarm, time to board.
So if you wander off, like oh shit, my alarm.
Time to go.
Perfect, perfect.
Anyway, Mike Cannon, thank you.
Your iammikecannon on Instagram.
He's on the Chrissy Chaos podcast all the time now.
That's new, huh?
That's cool, yeah.
On the road with you in New England.
Yeah, that already happened.
That already happened.
It was great, what a fun time.
Three shows at the Wilbur.
That's sick. Oh, it is sick.
Yeah.
That's real sick.
Wild time for comedy.
I'm not even like a famous person.
You know, I'm not like those guys.
So yeah, it's pretty wild.
You did a great job.
I'm adding a second show at a yoga studio
in Lansing, Michigan.
Yeah, guys, check them out.
And again, obliterate that fucking picture.
Obliterate it with comments.
Check out the Patreon.
Damn, I don't, I haven't, let's just call it UB Trippin'.
If not, it's Ari Shafira.
No, no, we're gonna send someone around the world.
That's what I'm doing with my Patreon.
Oh, that's a good idea.
We're gonna pick a kid out,
and we're gonna send him around the world for a year.
That's excellent.
Some gap year kid,
and we're gonna have him try to check in for a...
Dude, that's an awesome idea.
Yeah, try to check in every month or so if he can,
try to find a computer to hustle,
register a new Gmail account.
What you have to do is you have to outfit this kid
like he's on the show alone.
So you have to give him batteries and cameras
to vlog himself.
No, I want him to disappear.
Damn, all right.
I want him to disappear.
Have you seen Alone, though?
Yeah.
It's real good.
Yeah, I got that.
It's like make all this stuff,
but then you're working and it's a weird thing.
What I want him to do or her is to just get lost.
Yeah.
But if they can, once in a while,
find a postcard or fucking whatever
That's another thing if you were sent a postcard from somewhere was well read it on the page
I'm like the videos from interstellar. Yeah, it's gonna age
While try to check in let us know what you're up to but just get lost out there. That's a good idea
I love that. I gotta find out an email address for them to send in applications for this because I'm excited about the idea
But that's it's a great idea.
So Southeast Asia is definitely gonna be up there
on the possibilities, if not like South America.

Bandit, bandit, b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b- the whole Southeast Asia trip four months also wasn't masturbating at the time forgot about that no masturbation no fucking two comes no I came more than once with the chick I fucked
um really all over the island of Bali
Indonesia fucking ruled you guys I had the best fucking time I touched a Komodo dragon I touched a Komodo dragon. I touched a monkey.
I smoked some of the worst weed in the world outside Australia.
And Washington Square Park.
And it just...
You guys gotta go.
I'd say it's one of the two places that's kind of accessible to Westerners.
It's scary but not so scary. It'd be Bali in Indonesia. Bandit, no. Hey,
hey, hey, hey, come. Whoa. Not interested, huh? All right, well, fuck off. Bali in Indonesia
and then really, not even Bangkok, but Bangkok and Chiang Mai in Thailand.
I don't think anywhere else in Indonesia is that accessible.
And I mean I guess like Shanghai, not Shanghai, Saigon.
But people don't really go there. They do, but it's not like, it's not a first stop, Saigon.
Bangkok, Chiang Mai is, and Bali,
all over the island of Bali, I'd say.
If you're looking to go to Southeast Asia,
or Asia in general, and you're a little bit scared,
those are great cities.
And then also what that offers you is places
to go outward from there, to really get lost.
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much, Mike Cannon.
Until next week, with the Wonton Don.
I'm Ari Schiffer, unless I have to delay it again, but I don't think I will be.

We got Wonton Don.

Guatemala that we did in a in Gold Coast Australia. We got some good ones coming.

awards. Bye guys, until next week. So long! Oh wait, no I don't know how to say it in
a Bahasa.
