Yeah. So what we're talking about today? Oh, it's you be tripping as a podcast name. Sorry, I'm not great at this. Where did you guys go? We went to London. It's a Notting Hill. Notting Hill, Carnival and Notting Hill.

To what? A Notting Hill? Notting Hill, yeah. Yeah, and I never been, never heard of it. Carnival in Notting Hill? Notting Hill, yeah, I believe so. You never heard of it? I never heard of it.

I followed Kev as Nigerian, so he... No, you knew Carnival was going on, right? But I never heard of Carnival? I never heard of Carnival. Like, I didn't know that was a thing. Really? Never paid it, you know. But then it hit me, because they do it in Brooklyn. Yeah, but...

But no. You knew it was going on before we got there, though, Nahr? No. You just thought you were going to London to see Big Bend? I thought we was just... I found out about Carnival through Kev, and that's what I just followed him. All right. I thought we already knew, but...

Wait, what did you think you were going for? Dude, I don't try. Yeah, I thought I was just going to London. It's just like a carnival? No, no, no, I'm saying. I didn't know about the whole... I didn't know... I didn't know...

He said he wanted to just go to Andy and just... I just wanted to go to London. I wanted to get out, and I had a great time. And I went twice. I went twice. Yeah. I guess you heard about it through me, but... Okay.

I don't know. All I know is that they said it was something going on in London. Everybody was going around the same time. And it was just like, oh, Carnival's going on too. Let's go to that. And we ended up there. Because that's an event. That's what you go for.

Yeah, that's a lot of people go for. Yeah, it's not just like, oh, while you're here, it's Restaurant Week. I guess so it checks up out. Like, you come, you go for it, Carnival. Yeah. Yeah, but I was going to just go to London. I love it. Also.

London was first. Like, oh, you want to go to London and Carnival. This was your first time in London. This was my first time in London. Mine too. Interesting. And my first carnival. Yeah.

First time in London, first carnival, yes. How did you heard about carnival? I think it just comes to the black. Being like, you know what I'm saying? Somewhat not American, but, you know, just being around. Oh, I felt so left out too, because he had like a flag. He had the Nigerian flag. And I wanted to carry the USA flag, but they said it would have been frowned upon.

They didn't even have, they weren't even selling America. It was the first time I felt like, I'm an American. What the way of it? I didn't do Nigeria. Go on Ancestry.com, buddy. No, I feel like I'm everybody. I don't want to find out where I'm. You are everyday people.

Yeah, I want to be everybody. Because if I find out I'm like half Haitian, I'm going all the way. I'm going all the way. Lean in. Yeah. I know somebody's one 30-second Native America. They just always fell out Native America on their flyers. Like, why not lean in?

I'm going all the way. So you had heard about it you wanted to go I heard about it I wanted to go because they have the one in Brooklyn which I've actually never been to but I've seen like you know the one in Flatbush they have the carnival

and then they have Juvay too which happens like Is that my people? No Oh that happens like that happens like early in the morning like 5 a.m. whatever

and that's really the craziest part of the event because that's when they throw in paint they got the horns out there that's part of carnival Wait, what's Juve? Man, I got to look it up. It's something that has to do it. Like, I'm a, I'm a butcher it.

Is it the religious part of it? Nah, it's like, man, bro, I should have definitely read. Don't worry about it. No, no, no, I should have definitely read. I'm sure it's something like. It sounds more like your culture, juvei. No, no, no, no. It's not.

Yeah. Oh, you just got it. You just got it? I forgot you was Jewish. She's laughing for a while. No, I always heard, when I found out I was going to Carnival in London, I always heard that's a good one to go to because New York one was dangerous. Like, you can get shot.

Whoa. That's what I heard. I feel like the London one was more dangerous. No way. I kind of hear all of them are dangerous. Well, there's not no guns, but. There's black people. Yo, yo, look at that video.

If I saw that coming out of me, I'm like, dude, just cross the street. You know, looking at that video, I forgot how much white people was there. There was a lot of white people. There was a lot of white people in the area that we ended up at. But when we were getting to where we was going, it wasn't nothing but darkies, no. Jesus, it's even for me. I'm like, wow. I went to go see a play yesterday, and they didn't want to say niggins, so they kept saying darkies.

Dardies. They got to rewrite it. Not my darkies. I was like, whoa. Just sad. Call it attention to do it. So what was it? What went on?

Like, what time did you get there? How much booze is there? Tell me all about it. I know it was an all-day event. We got there mad early. We got there pretty early. We were walking for like six hours. Well, so they do juve there too, though.

It's all in the morning. So all that paint stuff that they ended up doing at the end, they also do that like early, early in the morning. Did you see anybody with a paint on them? Yeah. Do you have any picture of that? He had paint on them. Yeah, that was, so they ended up doing.

that they ended up doing it towards the pain shit i didn't want to get any pain on me so i was just like so this is so this so dude right here yeah yeah go cybers if you want oh i could do that look that's all pain on that dude that's not oh what that's not his skin yeah that's a white guy no that's all paint that's so that's that's when it gets crazy wow yeah everybody's throwing paint my situation was just what look how young kevin is what is this from this is two years ago I'm the same. I just cover up a lot. Damn.

You got pain all over. You were doing it. That's cool. Oh, dude. He had all this fucking. It's cool. It is cool. I was so jealous.

I was so, I was mad jealous because I didn't have a flag. I didn't have no pain on me. Like, I just, and then he's out there with his Nigerian brothers. And I just felt left out. Would you come by people from Nigeria and be like,

what's up? Or do you just like, no people? No, they definitely see you. And they were like, Nigamon. Not Jiamon. I'm like, ha, ha, now. And Reggie's like, I know one.

I'm like, what up? United States of America. Yeah, oh, I wanted to rap so hard. I feel like they threw the green on me, too, because of that. Because this is, this is like following the trucks or the vans or whatever. Wait, what's the vows? Actually, the floats. So this is the, this is the, the floats are like DJ floats.

Right there. That right there. And they're throwing buckets of paint off of that. That right there. Nah, they, like, they lift that, um, that, that little veil up. And then they just throwing stuff out At people that's following it What do you mean throwing stuff out?

Paint? Yeah, just like things. Paint, paint, paint, paint. Like, they just lift it up and fucking Yeah, so what'll happen is, so what'll happen is they'll rope off the sidewalks, right? If you don't want paint on you, get on the sidewalk. If you want paint on you, stay in the middle of the street

and follow us and we about the boom. Wow. And so that's... Who's on the trucks? People that would be cool, too. You're probably on, you're probably going to be on one when you go to, what you call you? You're on a truck?

I thought you paid to be on a float, right? Not on the float, just part of the mask. Oh. I'm just going to dress up. Yeah, that's, that's... Like that lady. Who's the lady on top? What she wearing?

Top right. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. So this one... Yeah, like that kind of shit. But I would be on a float, but I would dress like that. But this is the same how they was throwing it down on this. Oh, no, she just wearing a shirt. Yeah, but this was like, this was midday.

Oh, they out there. This is midday, yeah. Oh, it's some queens out there. What time of year was this? Let me show you the one queen that I was looking at. Wait, wait, what time Right there Wow

being a bitch and i just we're hot i still got that tank top they didn't only fly man i want I didn't want no parts of the paint. I didn't get the paint. I feel like we were fine without it, but they started fucking throwing that shit. If I was on a truck and I'd be like, oh, these are the people supposed to get and I saw some people over there.

Like, no, I'm getting them too. Yeah, they were trying. Like, I had to run a little bit. Like, I was like, I don't want to. So this would it look like. What's that smoke? That better be a cigarette. This was crazy.

Oh, this is all the dances. Yeah, you couldn't even get through. This was where all the black people were. Yeah. You couldn't even get through. It was like. good luck it's just stopped

good luck yeah he just stopped in the street light man so we wanted to breathe that's why we ended up going to be too claustrophobic for me no that's how it's going to be when you go

yeah it's gonna be probably worse when you get out there because you're actually going in Trinidad you gotta have a lot of patience and you're out there you gotta kind of walk with the crowd

walk yeah it was yeah didn't that get too much yeah it was a lot what's that Senegal what's that star I think that's Jamaica the Jamaican

oh the flag he looking at yeah Guyana Man, I don't know. As a black person, I felt left out coming to some of it because I don't know the language,

I didn't know the dances. Good. This is get back for all that African booty scratching shit growing up. I felt mad, left out like, damn. Look at this fat nigga with no home. Yeah, this is the one girl that I fell in love where she said, I was like, I said something like trying to be funny

and she said it would suck to only know the language of my colonizer. Oh, my God. I was just like, damn. Who was she? What did she know? She knew mad shit, but she was shitting on black Americans, but she had on a wig. Oh, that's so funny.

Yeah, like, shut up halfway. Yeah, I took it because she was, like, sexy, but she disrespected me. Yeah. Also, Conner, I was born here. Yeah, it was like, come on, man. Yeah. But Kev was in a fucking, he was fucking loving it. Yeah, man.

So what did you do, drugs-wise, alcohol-wise? Is it constant boozing? I did. I did Molly and that was fun until it wasn't. Are you getting drugged up when you go?

I don't know. No, you should. I mean, what? That's my biggest regret not being drunked up. Okay, I usually ask about regrets in this so that's great.

I think, I don't know, I think you want to do something where you can, like, you can have fun, but you can still, like, control, you know what I'm saying,

your emotions in case something happened. That's where Molly, when Cap was freaking out, what kev somebody tried to go in bags kev's bag he said but i still wrote it on somebody went in my he said he said they did but in my mind i'm like kev is so fucked up he's making things up but but i'm saying never done that ever but no no but that's when i was felt left out because i'm like damn this thing like him and and we were somebody else panicking he was panicking and i'm like

and i had to calm him then i'm like bro you know we looked for him he looked we helped him look for him but I didn't really want to look for him, but we looked for him, and I was just like, all right, you know, I should have been high. So what happened was, what happened was I had my backpack on me, and I already intentionally, before I even took the drugs, I was smart about like, let me not keep anything in the front zippers. So no drugs in the front zippers? Nothing. No money, no drugs. What do you mean front zippers? Of the backpack. Yeah, like that's just easy access to get into. Like, if you go in my backpack to get in, you got to go and get all the way in there. right so but i forgot i did that so i'm on the molly and we we we have the we at the block party

let me see i just show you the joint but see i didn't want to wear a backpack that's why i'm wearing a combat vest we around here this is a i didn't want nothing i want nothing to do with a backpack this the area we at like it's around here yeah i remember yep yeah so so we over here chilling i just had a sound off no it's okay so we over here and um um i'm just i'm just i'm just i'm just dancing like they got a little DJ they got a DJ off to the left and I'm just there dancing with my backpack on whatever and John behind me

our friend John is behind so I felt somewhat safe because he I'm like he should be watching me a little bit whatever and now the Molly like on 10 started to kick him like I don't know this song this is a great song I'm going and then something just

tell me to turn around I don't know so I just turn around I'm just like man what and I look and I see a dude looking at me with the most sinister like a shark like looking at me with a shark and just like a little smirk and then go off in the crowd

and I'm like, bro, what? Nah, nah, nah. Look in my backpack. Oh, and I see the zipper open. I'm like, yo, this motherfucker just winning my backpack. Yo, John, John, John. What, what? This nigga just hide, just staring.

And then I started chasing them through the crowd. It was just like a short brown dude. But this motherfucker- Good luck. Yeah, I don't know. I know he was gone Like he did some kind of Move and it was he just

And then even I found somebody Like I found another short brown And I grabbed him because I thought I had Halked him and I said I say yo And then he turned around And he was like what what? And I was like no no you might not be the right dude Because I didn't even know who I was really after

He could have been the dude It could have been he put it off off of us I was chasing he was so fucked up It kind of killed the moot because he was trying to find This dude And then when he found me I'm like All right, let's try to find this, dude. But he didn't even steal anything, but the drugs, he didn't steal anything, because it was nothing in there.

But the drug had me on, you know what I'm saying? It had me like, just, I felt so violated. I was like, yo, we got to do something. We can't let this slide. And then afterwards, it was like calm again. It was good. Oh, really? You're back?

I was back after a while because then I met a shorty and she was just like really cool and we were just talking. And I told her, and then she gave me more Molly. And I was like, oh, yeah, yeah, I did. That's a good idea Well, I'm coming from you I was thinking I was never going to do this again But I'll do it again right now Yeah, a girl gave me a vape

And the whole trip I was smoking the vape. Like, I don't even vape. What, vape weed? It was like a little, what was that shit? It was like a little cigarette. It was like a little cigarette thing With pineapple flavor. It was so good.

She gave it to me, I was smoking that shit The whole trip. And then I got sad when it was done. I was like, because I don't even smoke vape, but that shit was so good. and yeah so I did take some that's that's about the only drugs that I did but I definitely fell in love you going by yourself or you're going with your lady uh yeah I'm going with somebody oh okay yeah uh which should be fun but also I read like an article on Reddit and it was like you just

So they got Jamaican float, they got Barbados, they got whatever, you know, they got Nigeria.

They didn't have a USA float. And why would they? What they gonna play? Marty Gros stuff, Creole. Jack Harlow on the float. So they got the floats going. And then if you just follow that float, because you just like, I wanna hear straight reggae music.

So I'm following y'all float. I wanna hear straight, whatever this version of their country music, I'm following that one. So that's what, that's what this was. And while we were stationary, we just didn't have to follow nobody. But if you was like to follow them, it's like, we follow in the party, you know. And everybody goes with it. Yeah, that's the whole carnival of it all.

But if you don't want to do all that, then you just post up somewhere and just like, all right, it's people here. How do you dress up for this as a guy? Because I know how the girls dress up. Yeah. What did you do here? I can show you what I'm working. Yeah, I want to see what you're about to get. I'll get it.

no this is some black panther that's pretty that's hard I like that one without the headge without the headgear I mean I can take the headgear off I guess your girl dressing up too right yeah yeah yeah it's uh cultural appropriation why is it not cultural they want you to dress up so you can just do whatever not not fully dress up. Wait, are you going, are you going to get some shoes to match it? Or are you just wearing? That's a good question. Let's see. But I don't know what the cost, see, those shorts aren't the shorts

because they don't want anybody jump it in and stealing people. So they say, like, they announced the shorts colors the day of. Oh. Okay. So that you can't fake it and get in there. And you have to always have a wristband on. He didn't have one on. I didn't know they did different colors for. Yeah. I thought you was

Bro, it's tough. It's very dangerous. but I also like I don't know. They don't have fentanyl. They have such clear shit. I don't know. I just like,

because I don't bring a lot and I'm just, sometimes I even forget I have stuff on me. It would just be like somewhere in my suitcase. I'm like, oh yeah. Best way to smuggle is not known. And then I got some while I was already there.

But I didn't, I'm not thinking about it like that. Like I'm not thinking like, oh, I'm bringing drugs in the line. I'm like, oh, I forgot that was in that case. Now I got drugs. Right. That's good.

But I'm not, I don't, I think I'm off drugs now. I did zero drugs. I think I'm off them. Why didn't you do any drugs? You just didn't want it? Yeah, I was too pussy to do it.

I don't generally do history of anything. I just do experience, but like what, what, the Notting Hill riots. Oh, that's crazy. Do you know any of the history of carnivals in general? No, not at all. Tell me this theory. I have a theory. I have misracial intolerance, competition over resources, the white working class.

Oh. Oh, they attacked a black community. They always attacked the black community. The population inputs, Notting Hill, became a more international district. cold more niggis who's moving in competition for housing between poor black and white families and they was like and they bringing all these feathers in this loud ass music you know and I clean feathers for a week I found it in my

and it is in a nice ass white neighborhood too because this changed is 58 it's in a nice London white neighborhood yeah I seen uh Steve McQueen did had a show that he did about like Notting Hill there's a movie yeah It was a movie. Oh, he did like a three-part series, yeah, that I had watched.

And it was a bunch of just, like, black people trying to party, and white people were like, turn that music down. Mm-hmm. Just a lot of that.

they would give the slaves like a day to like let loose. So they were supposed. So they could have something to look forward to. That was, that probably was on Sunday. What? For church. Well, no, but I mean a day. a year and that was where carnival started because it started in the Caribbean where it was all

You're gonna make it to Juvei, then take a break and then come back outside later.

Yeah, maybe that. Yeah, go to sleep after that. Do it like that. To do it until mid-morning. But the thing about that, though, is if you do that, then you might miss a lot during the day. You're gonna miss plenty of stuff. You're gonna miss stuff anyway, whatever.

I feel like this. I feel like this. Before the official start of Carnival Moss where the more elaborate costumes are on display and dance to the city streets. But all Tuesday is also the carnival. Dress as blue or red devils. What?

yeah there's a whole bunch of like it wouldn't to me it wasn't even you can't even say some of this the sexual. It just felt like all of it was just assault. Yeah. It just felt like it was like, yo, y'all, which one of you niggas keep pushing me? You turn into it. It ain't even niggins. Stop. It's a whole group of eight girls shoving your ass. You're like, damn, man, what's the? I'm going.

Yeah. Yeah, and I remember seeing them, like, push the cops. Like, everybody was, I remember they was pushing through the cops? Well, they were pushing through the cops at one point because, you know, over there is no guns. So it was like, the cops are like security guards. And then people were, like, pushing through to them. And I'm like, that's,

That's crazy. That's different than here. It's like, I wouldn't do that. Those cops should probably have guns. You're like, my dad was a cop and no. That was a first of them. The cops should have guns. I was like, yeah, I don't think they should be doing that.

Like if you're going to shoot these jab jabs. Yes. Start gunning some of these jab jabs now. What about the food? What was the food like there? Was it the Caribbean-style food or was it just like you're in London, so get whatever? I don't remember the food much. Did we eat out there?

Yeah, it felt like we would. just out there on drugs and water. Yeah, well, you know, Molly, that's a good way to not have to stop to eat. Yeah. Oh, no, there was food. There was food at the block party, though. I don't remember eating.

It was like, I remember they had, like, they just had, like, little vendors set up. They did have vendors, but the lines were so long. The lines were long, but I still, I think I ended up getting, like, some corn on the cob or something like that. I don't remember eating anything. I remember asking, like, can I get in front of somebody?

Yeah. And, like, paying them, and they were like, no. Oh, I figured. Oh, you did. What you did to a woman? Yeah. Oh, I did that the other, like, actually, not the other day, but a couple months ago. It works.

What, pain and getting in front of someone? Hey, this line long as hell. Hey, you could buy me something and just get yourself something, too? Oh, yeah, yeah. That's how I did that. Yeah, it's smooth. No, I tried that, and the girl was like, no. I did that at concerts when there's, like, a coat check or something.

Like, Brooklyn Steel or something like that. If I'm with any woman, I'm like, hey, so I can't ask because I'm, like, you know, the problem looking. But I'm like, I'll give you $20 to give to anybody to get that line first. and then they're like sure it always works yeah who wouldn't for $20 like give me a ticket too and also something that you already doing you're already there you're not doing anything extra pay you to give you a little bit more just all right so you'll ask them hey can I buy your food and buy my food I'll I'll make an exaggeration of the line being long yeah yeah yeah I got a whole play it I got I got to read the script actually before I walk up some line I'll make an exaggeration

and I'm making exaggeration I'm like man this line long And then whoever, really, I'll, like, probably spot the girl beforehand, but really whoever made eye contact, then I'll just be like, yo, can you get yourself your food and then just give me some fries on top of that? I don't know if that works over here, though. I did it over here. Oh, okay.

Can I get your food? I'll get your food, but can you also just give me some fries or give me a burger or whatever on top of that? And she's already waiting in line. She's like, okay, you're going to pay for me? Yeah. Yeah, it's like I waited on this line. Now I got it for free because it's idiot.

I don't remember eating shit out there. there though. Damn, that's crazy. I don't remember the food at all. I bet you ate it. I don't remember eating out there at fucking all. And if the food in London, I don't, I just remember the service being bad. We was going to Deschumes

a lot. That's an Indian restaurant. It's an Indian restaurant we were going to. Yeah, they had just one place nearby. They had like two. Yeah, it had two of them. One place right nearby? You kept going back to the same restaurant? Yeah. It was, yeah, hold on. I got the I did that. I went there three times.

And then we ended up going to... But the food wasn't that good. Jim Kana was fire. Jim Kana was great. Jim Kana was great. They do have a lot of good Indian food and Turkish food. And then we wanted to go to... We wanted to go here, too.

But all the Italian joints are closed in August because they're on holiday. So we could get no good Italian food. Oh, this is in August? Yeah. I just remember them dropping off the food and never coming back. And you're like, hey, can I get some water? They don't live all tips. Water.

Oh, yes, there's no reason to be good. Except the fucking loser $25 an hour job. Yeah, it's no reason for them to come back once they drop off the food. Please, I'm so thorough. I just want some water. Yeah, I had to get up a couple times. Yeah, but you were in London like, you was a sociolite in London. Was, oh, yeah, like, everywhere.

Yeah, yeah, I was. I was just, the second time I went, I was just anywhere. Like, come here, come here. And I would be in these random, like, parties and shit. Did you go hang out with Chappelle there? Is that you? No, yeah, we were there. We was at the show.

I'm going to say we hung out with them. No. We was just at the show. And then, like, invited back? Well, they ended up doing their thing at a hotel, like the after party at a hotel. We was already kind of kicking it out. Oh, that's when we did shrooms. That's when I was high out of my mind.

Oh, yeah, we did end up doing, yeah. We did doing shrooms. Yeah, I do remember that. Yeah. That hotel was just like a hotel. Everybody was just kind of at, and so we just ended up. Oh, really? But the second time, I was going on.

Did I went to a Howard party once? It was a Bob Marley birthday party at Howard. My friends took me when I was in Maryland. And we went down there and I was like, all right, I'm kind of an introvert, but I'm drinking at the bar. They're all dancing. I was like, got up my courage. I'm like, let's go down there.

And I start dancing and everyone would just stop and look at me and I'm like, go back to the bar. Because you're the white guy only at the black party. Yeah. Yeah, that's how it always is. Just staring. And I'm like, well, I'm trying my best. Fine.

I'll go back to the bar and drink. That's, that's, I mean, this is 25 years ago. Oh, okay, okay. That's a different time. What was you about to say? No, I feel like at least now or so, like, if there's, like, one white person dancing, even, like, a white guy, I say a white guy dancing, like, very free at a black party. Black people will laugh, but they'll also be like, yo, we respect you for being that free.

And just, you know, they won't say you dancing good. If you're not dancing good. But if you're like dancing free, but they'll hype you up. Like, look that goofy. Yeah, it don't work the other way around. You can't be a black guy going to a white party dancing. I'm like, what the thing? It's corny.

This Disney Channel motherfucker. What the fuck is this dude doing it? Trying to fuck our women. It don't work the other way around. Well, yeah, white guys that go to black parties clean up. Damn. All right. No, if they...

If they're dancing, if they're like... If they, like, black adjacent, you mean? No, I don't think so. I think if I go to a black-ass party in Philly, they're going to be like, oh, shit, who's this black dude? Who's this black dude? I mean, who's this white dude. Oh, damn.

And let them fucking, you know. Clean up like what, clean up what? Women? Dr. They'll be into it. Well, I'll tell you what, at Maryland, when my Liberian friend would go to, like, the white bars, he'd be like, hey, literally half of them are disgusted that I'm here.

But the other half are intrigued and want to fuck a black dude. And so that's a way higher percentage than any white guy walks into. Yeah. You know? So maybe just that. If I just get 20% of them, I'm like, ooh, that's all, that's more than anybody's got. A Philly woman. You say that if you want to, Philly women, I'll destroy you.

They're disgusting. They all look like Tom Cassidy. I don't know any white comics that can dance. I'm saying, I'm mad. I'm like, why? Any white comics that can wait? Do you know any white comics that can dance? Can you dance?

Bobby Lee? He's not white, I guess. Bobby Lee? I can dance with him on Molly. I can dance okay in moments, but no, not, not consistently. Fahim, he's not white, I guess. Yeah, I don't know if any white guys can dance. It's got to be.

Can Gary Owen dance? I don't know. He looks like he probably just have a server on the side. I feel like Rich Ross can dance. I don't know why. No. He did heroin. He could.

I feel like he could. I feel like he could. He wears jorans. He wear caps. Yeah. I feel like he danced. It's like those guys that could whip it out last second. Like, where the fuck has that been?

You wear a suit. I feel like Lenny Marcus got like two moves in him. He gets them quick and then keep moving. Yeah. And that's all his moves. I can do more. I'm not in the mood right now. I'm like, what?

Yeah, that's all. You just didn't know, play one song in the piano. I'm like, I am blaming. That's it. That's it. He's a virtuoso. Like, no, he's not. What would you tell yourself now going back if you're like, hey, you should have done this?

Or telling anybody else to go to carnival? Like, what would you tell them, like, make sure to do sunscreen, sneakers, anything? I would definitely do, waters. I would do, I would do. I would tell them to get some definitely good walking shoes. I remember we bought some, we just got some cheap-ass shoes, like hiking shoes, because I brought some bullshit.

I brought some, like, I brought some, like, slide-ons or some shit. Now, my feet would have been killing me. So that would have been the first thing. And then the second thing is do drugs. Do drugs. Do drugs. Oh, you know, it's crazy not to bring the mood to a different place. I remember we was at Stuyvesant Park a couple years.

ago and you had came to play basketball with us and you just went to a store and bought some basketball shoes and came to like hoop and I was like I was like looking at you I remember saying like damn dog I wish I could do that man because I had no money. LeBron's I saw him yeah you say you just randomly brought LeBron's I needed shoes I tried out of some people they were like two years old LeBron's at the time they weren't that year's LeBron so they weren't that expensive but I mean yeah no but I was just I was I was I was like you just needed shoes so you went and bought shoes oh yeah I can see how I mean like I was yeah yeah yeah I wish I could do that man and then so when we was in London just like we need a

walking shoes so we just went and bought some walking shoes and then we left them there yeah I didn't even bring them back yeah let them in the I think was it an Airbnb dude you're as rich as I was yeah I could afford $60 shoes wait did you know they were LeBron I think barely. I think I might have shown up to a park. Because we brought some... I'm like, oh, maybe. Yeah, because I remember my shoes were good.

Because they had Velcro over the tops, but we end the sides. Yeah. I probably brought some good hiking shoes, but I left them there. I was like, I don't just bring them back. I didn't have any room because we went like thrifting or shopping or some shit. Yeah, we didn't want to mess up the shoes that we had brought out there. But, you know what I mean? Going back, I don't know, man.

Don't try to... Don't try to, I guess, save money by getting the Airbnb in East London. Oh, yeah, don't do that shit. That Airbnb. Don't do that. What was it far away? It was, yeah, it was kind of out there.

It was kind of out there. It was kind of out there. But you know what? I didn't even look. I just was like, all right, I just gave my money. This is a great way to travel. It's just like, yeah, whatever you guys doing is fine. Yeah.

I'll show you guys started through. Yeah, yeah, I just kept told me the price. I was like, all right. Try to get something like in the area. But every time we told somebody we really. They're like, where the fuck are you at? You're out there. Like, my dad came inside a lot of the night.

Yeah. My dad came and saw me. He wouldn't stop, like, looking out at the car through the window because his friend was driving a G-wagon. It was like, you're in the hood. Yeah, we were in a sketchy spot. He looked like Malcolm X the whole time. Where the fuck's East London? What, like, Dalston?

You don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't remember my name of the place. But, like, yeah, that's how I, like, if I'm going with somebody, like, if you're like, hey, let's go here, I'm like, all right, tell me how much I need. Let's go. I don't know. Should I dress?

Yeah, I don't know like, all right. I want to do this. I want to take a, well, we used to talk about this. Take, like, a bunch of comics to, like, us, a country, and they just be like, I'm going to run it. You guys are coming. I'll tell you how much money you're allowed to bring. Yeah.

You know, we can do prepaid credit cards. Oh, that's all right. And you have to do it my way, and everybody gets one thing they can, like, choose to do what activity. But, like, we're just doing it. You're just in. Just follow. Oh, wait.

You said you were thinking about it or you, did it? We were talking about it on Bobby Kelly's podcast, like, five, six years. ago and it was like I'll run that let's just go to Bolivia or some shit like do it my way let's get lost I'm not a good group traveler well you can walk off by yourself for a minute he wouldn't be there'd be some alone time

in there too I'm not a good group he wouldn't be why I'm good with a group I like a group because I just whatever time I'm operating on that's the time I'm operating on like if like it was a couple of times where I was just like I don't want to do nothing the day until midnight yeah you know what I mean

and I'm just I'm just staying in And so, like, because I've gotten into, like, a little bit of, not trouble, but, you know, a little arguments with people that are going to travel with. And they like, well, what about the, I'm like, hey, what about the it? Group travel is hard. And then I show up, and then I'm in a bad mood. And they're like, why are you in a bad mood? Because I don't want to be here.

Yeah, it's like, you can't plan what your mood's going to be. Instead of like, I'm hungry. Let's go. Let's go. I'm down. Time we win. Let's go. I love a group.

Two different ways. Wake up until 3 p.m. What you mean? Oh, no. You'll be up early. If I'm with a group, like, even if I don't like somebody in a group, if we got the day planned out, I'm like, fuck them. Let's do what we got planned. Yeah, the day thing.

Yeah. And I'm too in my feelings. Yeah. You know what I want to do for Patreon is take like a week or eight or nine days and just throw a dart at a board and be like going to the airport right now. That's hard. Oh yeah. You said you was doing that for like when a listener, right? Yeah.

Well, I want to do that too on Patreon. I want to send someone around the world. I want to send me, I'll go. For like a year? Yeah, I'll be gone for a year. I'll do it. Come back. Back in three days.

I blew through the money. Come back. Fucked up. Yeah. What is your eyes going to be yellow? I got a decade fever or something. No, because you know what? I do need to travel, and that's why that London trip was on fire to me because I'm like, all right,

this is my first. Because before the London trip, I only went to Montreal for JFL. That barely counts. Yeah, so I was like, I need to, oh, no, I took trips with my girl, but, you know. You're going to come back with AIDS. The original AIDS. Like, this strain hasn't even been out yet. Did you fuck a monkey?

Like, I don't know. I thought everybody's doing it. Bristarted AIDS? Prep doesn't even work anymore? That would blow my mind. Yeah, I would do that. Oh, that's a bubonic plague. I would be super everything.

No, that's one of my goals this year to go somewhere alone, though. Oh, you should. Alone travel is so fun. Yeah, that's one I want to get out of my art bag. You're completely freed. I sat in Paris. I sat down in a cafe and then I saw a sign that was in English and I was like, it seems like maybe a tourist one.

And the guy hadn't come yet. I was like, I'm leaving. I just got up and went. But if you're with anybody else, you have to be like, hey, can we go to another one? I'm like, why? What's wrong with this? And you got to explain this. So you just sit there.

Both of you're feeling the same way, but you can't say it. So you're both stuck doing something you don't want to do. Yeah. So that's one of the goals this year to go somewhere alone. Do it. Completely. Like, yeah. I know where you're going to go.

Where I'm going to go? Brazil. No, no, no, no, no. Nasty. I'm going to go somewhere alone or Queens. Nah, no, somewhere, not there, not there, because that would just be a nasty trip. Yeah. I don't want to.

Where, like where? Huh? Where, like where? Well, I've heard Portugal is the first good spot to go. Nice. Yeah, I've heard that's a good place to go. I forgot the other places. I don't want to.

What about you? Where would you go? He's been. I may not travel a lot. I didn't know a lot of places, but... Where's the next in your list? There was one or two of the places that... I definitely want to see that eclipse in April.

So that's something I want to see. It's not, I'm not, you know... I heard it in Austin or outside Austin it's going to be the best. Really? Yeah, like, it goes... Oh, I split up America. So, like, it goes from the north, like, in, like, a curve like that. So south of Toronto is someplace, but it's better in Texas.

See, that's the thing with the travel, though. Like, he actually wants to see shit like that. See stuff like that. The one you saw... was pretty fucking epic yeah it was nice see i don't i don't want to i don't really care this i mean not i think i go to like meet people and like try new foods and just be around a different group of people like in the clips i don't give a shit about i want to i want to see um i want to see uh northern lights that's really like that's definitely on my list for so my buddy did that and uh

and uh he goes you see one of those uh wow wait that's fire wow that's the fucking i mean it If you were an Aztec, you'd be like, everything's ending. Wait, did you see this on the showroom? Oh, the native, no. It looks like Sauron's eye. The Native Americans close everything. Like, they don't even witness it. Like, it's something for them where they're like, nah, that's the gods fighter.

Yeah, something, something going on. So they close all their parks. And, yeah, and it's just me and a bunch of white people out there. Oh, really? Well, you went out there by yourself? Yeah, I was out there by myself. That was in Utah, that was in Utah, the Valley of Gods. That's close to Arizona.

So I just drive, like, six hours down. Met some nice, some good, some good white people, Sarah and something. Did we were driving in Arizona? We were, like, our flight got delayed two hours. We driving back from Tucson to Phoenix. And we're like, oh, let's take the scenic route if we got two extra hours. You passed by these first cotton fields. And I was making obvious jokes, obviously.

Oh, yeah, that's when I first seen the cotton field was with you. Really? In Houston. I already just take black people around cotton fields, yo. I already just be like, you want to take the, the scenic route I didn't this crazy and I was just out of the window looking like

racist piece of shit all right just take black comics to cotton fields I didn't know in the road I didn't know they existed and we were in Texas driving we were driving from Dallas to Houston or some shit and I was just looking like

I didn't know these shit was still around and I did have a moment where I was like wow but you know I was with R and I'm like I didn't want to say pull over but I wanted to pull over he tried to pull over I was like you want to get one I did I did I didn't go out I did but I didn't want to say it I just didn't want to get that but then we saw these prisons and he was like why are the prisons next to cotton fields and it hit him he was like they never give us a fucking chance it was just

like it hit him he was in his own head for like an hour already pulled over and was like make me a shirt I'm waiting not yeah yeah yeah Ari, the first time I went on the road. Black people that got the fields. If you're going to open for, I'm telling you what you're looking for. The first time we went on the road, you were like, I'm going on a hike. Yeah. And I was like, it was my first time, like, because I normally just stay in the hotels, I don't do much.

And we went on this hike. I was like, let me get the fuck out my hotel. And we were hiking. It was just pulled over anywhere. And he's just like, it's going to hike. And I'm like, what the fuck? It's a little green belt. Yeah, it was like, what the, but I remember a spider, you walked.

It was this big-ass spider web And you walked into it I was so fucking happy And I was like Oh my God I would have freaked out If I walked into this spider web Yeah

Wait you guys were in Arizona You have a picture of that Mesa stuff Oh that's fine Oh you look gay care Why I always look gay I don't know It's just like y'all was fucking doing nasty things Oh that's fire damn

Yeah that was a rule of That ruled. Look at that scenery. Damn, that's hard. I took that video. I was just like, I'm out in nature and then Kevin comes behind. Excuse me. Black eye, no!

And I had to start running. This Sim getting a ticket. What? What are you getting a ticket for? Jumping? Yeah, yeah. He was drinking on the train. I got he saw you and he's like, oh fuck.

Yeah, that's a nice scenery. No, where that, uh, maybe I sent it to you. What? That circle thing that we was walking around. Oh, yeah, where we made up our own religion? Yeah. Here it goes. That's like some pet cemeter and shit.

Uh-huh. Yeah, this was pretty cool. And then we all got in our heads and like, that's a real white thing is to make up a religion midway. You had to walk up, out, out, up, over, up, down. In the lines all the way to the center. Then you got to the center and you had to like reflect and let things go. Or maybe it was you letting things go as you got into the center.

And then you got to the center, it was like, all gone. And then you walked out. And I think you just made. the new path for your life as you was... Oh, wait. Is that something y'all made up or... No. No.

Oh, okay, okay, okay. It's a sign that... Yeah, here you go. Yeah. Oh, that's fire. Where is this, Arizona? Somewhere in the middle of nowhere. Damn.

Absorb the beauty that surrounds you. Take time to clear your mind. Become aware of your breathing. Suggest the stages of the walk. Number one. Shetting. Walk the path slowly to the center. Let go of the concerns of your life.

That's hard. Yeah. Wait, so y'all all took turns on that? We kind of went. ahead of one another. Yeah. Because it took like two, three minutes to get to the middle. Yeah, it took a while.

See, this is where I would be, like, you know how you can't go somewhere with groups? This is where I would get weird because this is something that I would, I would feel like I need to do by myself. Right. Well, we were quiet. We were quiet.

But that's what I'm saying. I would be weird. I would be like, what? Like, I need to hear something. Like, you can't do groups. I couldn't, because this is like some spiritual shit to me. Yeah, but that's one. So if you're in a group, you'd be like,

hey let's leave him here we're gonna go over there for a little bit yeah if we're in a group yeah if in a group I'll be like y'all I'll catch up to y'all later and do you spot myself but that's part of a group number two illumination upon reaching the center

reflect pray listen and receive stay as long as you like and then number three union slash integration follow the path outward bring your inspirations back out into your life I know I know if I was beautiful

and everything I know if I grew up around there I'd be somewhere in the bush just throwing rocks in the middle praying. I'll just be somewhere, it ain't going to come true. It's a classical unicursal seven circuit style, similar to others found, planet wide, created and used my many cultures throughout human history. That place ruled.

That place was awesome. I didn't even know what park that was, but it was like really cool. All those things everywhere, that crazy church. Yeah, oh, yeah, the church. It was hot out there too, huh? It wasn't bad. It wasn't too bad.

It was barely shorts. I could have worn jeans. It's my It's my Ari next album cover Yeah Did I tell you what Sherrod's name

somewhere where they had like the rocks in the sink so it looked like like a bottom of a fishbow I don't know it was something's type of spiritual shit

and my girl was like what get this smooth move this dumb shit when you get the rock from I forgot where I got the rocks from but they were like crystals crystal rocks yeah we sat there for like

30 minutes looking down trying to find the right rocks yeah now we spoke to us we found some cool ones such as any rock we're we're downplaying these rocks were fucking badass nice

First about a rat and fly. All right, let's wrap this up. This is great. Longer than I wanted to go. Damn, that's nice. That's the, that's the place? Yeah, that's the place. And you ran in the car and did all that by yourself?

Yeah. It was cool, man. It's good to be alone, right? It's nice. It's very nice. And then there was a lot of old couples, like, in these RVs and stuff over here. Did they give you food or anything? Nah, they just, nah, they just, nah, they didn't.

You don't talk to people, though. No, we was that. No, we was talking. We was really, it was a real, we was really conversing going back and forth. And it was a lot of them, too. So, you know, some of them were more friendly. They were telling me like, yo, you want to go this way when you're going back up to Salt Lake, like, take this route because you'll be able to get up the mountain. It was honestly one of the scariest things that I did going back because you're literally like driving up the side of a mountain.

Everybody going like three miles an hour. Like, you, you, you, a little bit over you, you off the edge of that joint. And you want to see the scenery, but you've got to look at the road. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But people were getting out the car and just like, you know, but I was by myself. I was like, yeah, I see it. But it was a lot of old couples that I thought it was just beautiful because they were just like, we do this. Like the kids are grown.

They're out of the house. Everybody's got their own families. It's just us alone. So we just go out in the country. If you ever drove around like Washington, it's beautiful. Like there was like Wyoming's great. I'm like, oh, this is. a fly life.

Damn, RV life. Yeah. Yeah, those people are cool. I had an RV once at some festival and we stopped to like fill up or they're, everyone's so helpful. Yeah. You stop at a gas station or Walmart. Like, how long are you guys been going?

Like just a weekend. Like, oh, we do this now. Yeah. Like, fuck. It's a, it's a dope. Yeah. But you got to kind of be old. Yeah.

I mean, you got to just like, it's really something that's like you've done so much in life now. It's like how many people can say that they drove through the country? not even just like once passed like up down everywhere yeah like and then pointing out places in the map and being like yo this part right here is beautiful it's the most beautiful thing that I'm like this is in Arizona or Utah it's Utah oh okay it's Utah yeah all right maybe I'll go to Utah by myself Utah is beautiful that's a good first trip right Utah is beautiful yeah I mean it's just or is that is that lame to stay in the states no but try to go somewhere else

too but if that's all you got go to that you can do this a lot easier Utah You can go for two, three days, but somewhere else is like, you're going to have to go for a week or two. I stayed in Bluff. Shout out to Bluff, Utah. Shout out to Bluff, Utah. All right, where can people find you online? You can find me on Instagram, Reg Conquest, R-A-G-G-Conquest. R-A-G-G-G-Conquest.

Kevin Isopropan. Like that, like the alcohol group. Kevin Isopropanol. My isopi-Pia should come up. Kevin, ISO should come up. My picture is a picture of Finn from Adventure Time. Hey, full circle. Adventures, Adventure Time.

There you go. Not bad. You reach up, but dude. Have you ever watched Adventure Time on Acid? Nah. It's another level. You realize how deep that show is. Oh, I've realized it deep sober, though.

Oh, really? Yeah. I like a lot. The Coca-Cola guy trying to snatch up your kids. And you're like, oh, right. They're trying to fucking addict our children with sugar. Oh, I didn't even peep that. I didn't even peep that.

Nah. Because they just say a lot of deep stuff in there. You know, I got a lot of adventures time. Just videos on my phone. I'll just be watching. Nice. All right. All right. Well, guys, get out there like Reggie's going to do, like Kevin already does. Go to Nigeria. You're a Naja boy. What is how he said? I don't know.

Send me and who would be fun to go on a trip with? SAG. Me and SAG. Send me and SAG around the world. You guys. I'm going to need a fucking gap year, kid. Sending your stuff to Patreon, subscribe, and here on YouTube. sending postcards from all over the world on Patreon or read them from wherever you are and talk about those places and tell what you're doing out there and that's it. I think it's you be tripping Patreon.

If you're somewhere around the world, hit me up and invite him. Yeah, invite me. I'll come if you give me a place to stay. Don't invite me. I'm not going to. Kevin just wants to like, no, get away from me, please. Leave me alone.

All right, guys. Thank you. Bye. Later. Thanks guys. All right, guys, that's the episode. Thank you very much for tuning in. I appreciate it.

Now, I've got to get back into the world, so I need to put on my UBitripping t-shirt that you can all get. I first saw this by two fans that made it on Red Bubble illegally. I was like, no, I'm not against you, but I'll make it myself, and I sell myself. It's a U.B. Trippin' stamp. Same designer who made the Shroom Fest shirts. Shroom Fest is next weekend. September 6th, 7th, and 8th. If you don't know what it is, I've been mentioning this, and I'll stop talking about it soon.

Just take mushrooms. It's an international holiday to celebrate mushrooms. It's not in a place. It's less like Mardi Gras and more like Christmas. Wherever you are, Christmas is happening. It's really a place in your heart according to almost every movie where nobody shows full penetration. That would be great for a Christmas movie like Elf to have also some full penetration.

Does anybody pitching that? Got you be tripping stickers, all sorts, these for the water bottles, and then these clear green ones that go right into your passport. Wherever you're going to go, fucking put some of these up. Put some of these up and tag the UB Trippin'Pod, Instagram. God, that seems fun, though. I mean, to get that lit up to be trailed by people knowing they're going to fucking pickpocket you

and to still be able to, I mean, what a fun time with friends going to a place like this. That's the way to do it really, too. It's not just to go to a place, but let's pick some friends who are going to be willing to, like, be adventurous and just go. I mean, honestly, didn't that what you want? Don't you want a group of people

that goes to something together? That's the episode, everybody. Hope to see out on the road. I know I had a great time in this episode. Next week, we got Carnival is happening right now in London. It's happening this weekend. That's why we put it out now. It's happening this weekend in London.

If you're in London or anywhere nearby, go check out Carnival, use the tips you got from ISO and Reggie Conquist, and then fucking have a good time. Next week, James McCann on Labor Day. Interesting for a comic to use that term. Going to New Zealand with us. So click on the link to subscribe, do whatever.

Get yourself a shirt. Follow those guys. Kevin Isopropol, excuse me, and Reg Conquest on Instagram. Follow me, Ari Shafir on Instagram. Go see my special Jew on YouTube. Until next week, everybody. How do you say bye in? In Ireland.

But I guess it's London. So, yeah, bye. Cheerio. Oh, that's it.
