Starting point is 00:00:00 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.
Starting point is 00:00:12 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.
Starting point is 00:00:32 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,
Starting point is 00:00:46 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.
Starting point is 00:01:02 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,
Starting point is 00:01:47 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.
Starting point is 00:02:00 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
Starting point is 00:02:23 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.
Starting point is 00:02:47 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.
Starting point is 00:03:02 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
Starting point is 00:03:15 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
Starting point is 00:03:33 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,
Starting point is 00:03:48 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.
Starting point is 00:04:00 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,
Starting point is 00:04:11 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.
Starting point is 00:04:30 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,
Starting point is 00:04:48 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.
Starting point is 00:04:58 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,
Starting point is 00:05:14 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,
Starting point is 00:05:30 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.
Starting point is 00:05:48 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
Starting point is 00:06:16 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,
Starting point is 00:06:37 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?
Starting point is 00:06:55 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.
Starting point is 00:07:24 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?
Starting point is 00:07:37 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.
Starting point is 00:08:00 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.
Starting point is 00:08:16 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.
Starting point is 00:08:34 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.
Starting point is 00:08:47 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
Starting point is 00:09:07 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
Starting point is 00:09:29 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.
Starting point is 00:09:54 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.
Starting point is 00:10:06 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.
Starting point is 00:10:27 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.
Starting point is 00:10:44 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,
Starting point is 00:10:59 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.
Starting point is 00:11:14 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.
Starting point is 00:11:36 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,
Starting point is 00:11:50 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
Starting point is 00:12:11 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.
Starting point is 00:12:33 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
Starting point is 00:12:58 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.

Starting point is 00:16:41 Watch your run, Watch your run. Oh! Ahhhh! Ahhhh! Ahhhh! Ahhhh! Ben it, I'm hurt! Ben- Really? Bro! Ben it!
Starting point is 00:16:55 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
Starting point is 00:17:24 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
Starting point is 00:17:49 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.
Starting point is 00:18:20 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
Starting point is 00:18:45 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.
Starting point is 00:19:00 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,
Starting point is 00:19:17 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.
Starting point is 00:19:48 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.
Starting point is 00:20:02 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.
Starting point is 00:20:17 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.
Starting point is 00:20:30 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.
Starting point is 00:20:41 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.
Starting point is 00:20:56 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
Starting point is 00:21:14 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?
Starting point is 00:21:34 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.
Starting point is 00:21:47 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.
Starting point is 00:22:01 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.
Starting point is 00:22:15 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,
Starting point is 00:22:31 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.
Starting point is 00:22:58 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.
Starting point is 00:23:18 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.
Starting point is 00:23:50 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.
Starting point is 00:24:07 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
Starting point is 00:24:30 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,
Starting point is 00:25:09 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.
Starting point is 00:25:23 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?
Starting point is 00:25:35 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
Starting point is 00:25:50 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.
Starting point is 00:26:06 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,
Starting point is 00:26:25 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.
Starting point is 00:26:38 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
Starting point is 00:26:57 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.
Starting point is 00:27:25 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
Starting point is 00:27:50 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.
Starting point is 00:28:14 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
Starting point is 00:28:37 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.
Starting point is 00:28:55 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.
Starting point is 00:29:30 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
Starting point is 00:30:02 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.

Don't let B.O. keep you on the bench. Smell better naked with Mando. But I'll never forget how genuinely kind and welcoming the people of Bali were
Starting point is 00:33:46 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
Starting point is 00:34:23 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
Starting point is 00:34:38 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,
Starting point is 00:35:04 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?
Starting point is 00:35:23 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,
Starting point is 00:35:36 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.
Starting point is 00:35:48 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.
Starting point is 00:36:00 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.
Starting point is 00:36:18 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.
Starting point is 00:36:35 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
Starting point is 00:36:50 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,
Starting point is 00:37:16 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.
Starting point is 00:37:28 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.
Starting point is 00:37:39 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.
Starting point is 00:38:06 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.
Starting point is 00:38:19 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.
Starting point is 00:38:34 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?
Starting point is 00:38:54 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
Starting point is 00:39:15 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.
Starting point is 00:39:33 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
Starting point is 00:40:09 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
Starting point is 00:40:42 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.
Starting point is 00:41:01 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.
Starting point is 00:41:25 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?
Starting point is 00:41:48 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
Starting point is 00:42:12 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.
Starting point is 00:43:00 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,
Starting point is 00:43:32 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
Starting point is 00:44:03 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
Starting point is 00:44:34 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.
Starting point is 00:45:08 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.
Starting point is 00:45:27 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.
Starting point is 00:45:43 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.
Starting point is 00:46:01 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.
Starting point is 00:46:28 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?
Starting point is 00:46:42 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.
Starting point is 00:46:53 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
Starting point is 00:47:12 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.
Starting point is 00:47:30 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.
Starting point is 00:47:41 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
Starting point is 00:48:10 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
Starting point is 00:48:48 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.

Starting point is 00:50:24 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.
Starting point is 00:50:42 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.

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
Starting point is 00:51:49 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.
Starting point is 00:52:17 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
Starting point is 00:52:38 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.
Starting point is 00:53:03 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,
Starting point is 00:53:35 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
Starting point is 00:53:51 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.
Starting point is 00:54:06 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
Starting point is 00:54:26 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,
Starting point is 00:54:41 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
Starting point is 00:55:10 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.
Starting point is 00:55:32 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.
Starting point is 00:55:49 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.
Starting point is 00:56:02 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,
Starting point is 00:56:17 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?
Starting point is 00:56:29 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,
Starting point is 00:56:41 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,
Starting point is 00:56:59 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.
Starting point is 00:57:17 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
Starting point is 00:57:57 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.
Starting point is 00:58:16 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.
Starting point is 00:58:33 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
Starting point is 00:58:53 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
Starting point is 00:59:20 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.
Starting point is 00:59:35 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.
Starting point is 00:59:52 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
Starting point is 01:00:04 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
Starting point is 01:00:36 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?
Starting point is 01:01:04 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?
Starting point is 01:01:14 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
Starting point is 01:01:27 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.
Starting point is 01:01:46 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.
Starting point is 01:01:58 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.
Starting point is 01:02:13 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,
Starting point is 01:02:22 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,
Starting point is 01:02:34 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
Starting point is 01:03:04 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,
Starting point is 01:03:23 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.
Starting point is 01:03:42 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.
Starting point is 01:03:58 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
Starting point is 01:04:21 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
Starting point is 01:04:37 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,
Starting point is 01:05:05 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.
Starting point is 01:05:18 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
Starting point is 01:05:37 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.
Starting point is 01:06:09 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.
Starting point is 01:06:21 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
Starting point is 01:06:34 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.
Starting point is 01:06:50 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
Starting point is 01:07:10 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?
Starting point is 01:07:29 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
Starting point is 01:07:50 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
Starting point is 01:08:35 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
Starting point is 01:08:58 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.
Starting point is 01:09:29 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,
Starting point is 01:09:39 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.
Starting point is 01:09:55 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.
Starting point is 01:10:06 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
Starting point is 01:10:22 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
Starting point is 01:10:34 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.
Starting point is 01:10:51 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.
Starting point is 01:11:04 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,
Starting point is 01:11:34 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
Starting point is 01:11:57 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,
Starting point is 01:12:23 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.
Starting point is 01:12:43 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.
Starting point is 01:13:29 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.
Starting point is 01:13:46 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.
Starting point is 01:14:14 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,
Starting point is 01:14:39 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
Starting point is 01:15:02 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,
Starting point is 01:15:21 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.
Starting point is 01:15:39 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.
Starting point is 01:15:59 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?
Starting point is 01:16:16 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.
Starting point is 01:16:31 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,
Starting point is 01:16:52 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
Starting point is 01:17:02 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
Starting point is 01:17:30 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.
Starting point is 01:17:52 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,
Starting point is 01:18:09 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.
Starting point is 01:18:25 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.
Starting point is 01:18:36 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.
Starting point is 01:18:47 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
Starting point is 01:18:58 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.
Starting point is 01:19:20 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.
Starting point is 01:19:32 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.
Starting point is 01:19:48 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.
Starting point is 01:19:57 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
Starting point is 01:20:24 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. Anyway, Mike Cannon, thank you very much.

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.
Starting point is 01:25:25 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.
Starting point is 01:26:08 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.
Starting point is 01:26:34 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. What did he say he's out of town? We got Jeffrey Osmus coming about Israel. We got Wonton Don.
Starting point is 01:26:55 We got one of me, maybe Dragos, this Romanian comedian that we did one in Romania about Tokyo. We gotta do a road one. I got a couple of those. And one with me in Guatemala that we did in a in Gold Coast Australia. We got some good ones coming. Don't forget to tune into the ones that I do because I'm a pretty good traveler. You should tune to the ones that I'm a guest on. Alright, leave your trippy awards. Bye guys, until next week. So long! Oh wait, no I don't know how to say it in
Starting point is 01:27:27 a Bahasa.
