Starting point is 00:00:01 Do you don't look before you stage dive? I did, but I didn't have my glasses. Everybody was stage diving. They caught so many people except for me. They caught every fat person ever invented. And then I go skinny like a salmon upstream and I'm fucking done. That is the problem with stage diving. Even just crowd surfing.
Starting point is 00:00:20 Somebody's going to be like, I'm over it. Well, the whole thing is everybody's so packed up front. So it's like, you know you're hitting a wall of people. And in the video, you could see, Everybody part. I think because I got so high. Whatever. That's never, I've always been caught. And I fell so hard on my ass.
Starting point is 00:00:40 That's so funny. I saw stars. It was fucking normally. The band stars? Mm-hmm. Yeah. I felt so hard to go to see a mellow band. You know they're a singer, right?
Starting point is 00:00:48 I said to see a really melodic. Oh, yeah. Aaron. Where you've been and where you're going. This is our race travel show. Yeah. We're going to talk about travel today. It's you.
Starting point is 00:01:03 Welcome to you be tripping everybody. It's a travel podcast. So every week I go to a different place. The guest takes us to some place they've been. It's not factually correct. I'm letting you know that right now. It's a pretty factually incorrect podcast. It is the only travel podcast that stands staunchly against ska.
Starting point is 00:01:20 It is not part of the hardcore and punk scene. I'm out of here. It's its own thing. And actually, whether or not you like Scott, you shouldn't lump it in. It's like lumping in heroin and marijuana. There are different things. And just like heroin addicts should be killed and sent to another island, so should ska fans. My guest today is notable hardcore non-scar entrepreneur and regressano, Ian Fidantio.
Starting point is 00:01:48 Hello, everybody. Thank you for having me. You know, Ian, from a special two times a Sunday. What was it called? Wild happy and free. Wild happy and free in his podcast being Ian. Uh, with this co-host, some frumpy whore. Yes, that's, we're actually rebranding.
Starting point is 00:02:08 Rat and the Frumpy Whore. You ever rat tail? I feel like you could pull one off. We were going to change the name of the podcast to rat tails. Really? Yeah, but then, uh, you could pull it. Kept it. I had a mullet growing up.
Starting point is 00:02:21 Did you ever have a mullet? Did you ever have gnarly haircuts? Aside from what you've done to yourself? M.F. June? Like, as a, oh, wow. Oh, wow. That's great. Thanks.
Starting point is 00:02:35 It does kind of look like him though, right? It does, yeah, that's perfect. You really grow it up to your eyes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like it gets high. Yeah. I get strays that I got to pick, but you have to, like, actually shade. Yeah, this goes, I mean, it's, wow.
Starting point is 00:02:48 Yeah, I mean, I'm touching eye socket, really. What was your question? I don't know. Ian, thanks for being here. Thanks for having. As you know, I've been avoiding doing your podcast for quite some time now. Yes. I'm doing everything in my power to not help you out.
Starting point is 00:03:03 the point where I confronted you and said, do you have a problem with me? Yeah. And I was like, I was like, which one do you mean? I was like, oh, I thought just the smell. Yeah, I had to confront you because it was on my mind and I thought that you had something. I did it at Skangfest. Personally wrong with you at a problem with me because we hang out. We go on trips together.
Starting point is 00:03:24 But not. And then I ask you to come to Brooklyn for a podcast. You act like I'm like, I live in Manhattan, bro. I'm horrible. I'm a Manhattan guy. You live in a pigsty. In Manhattan. This looks like where those migrants that live on the bicycles stay when they're not on the bike.
Starting point is 00:03:38 They really do live on the bicycles. Dude, have you gone two blocks down? Yeah. The is little sedan. It's crazy. It really is. They're praying out there. That's where I found out blacks are African or are Muslim.
Starting point is 00:03:52 Yeah. They eat. They have no shoes on. On the street. On the street. They're sitting eating on the street. On the ground. Yes.
Starting point is 00:03:59 In the little little. The tin, the metal. I did. was looking for a quick bite to eat and I came across like, oh, halal food. And then I saw the picture, it's just a tin. And I'm like, oh, this is, it's got 4.6 stars because they're the only ones eat there. In order to stay in the country, they have to vote high on their friends halal truck. Does it have rice?
Starting point is 00:04:17 Does it have some meatball? Does it have the white sauce of unknown origin? Does it mix? Dude, it is, it's the entire block is all petty cab bikes with grubhubh boxes. and a bunch of Senegalese men just yelling, cutting their toenails. Cutting toenails? Getting haircuts?
Starting point is 00:04:38 In the middle of the street? It's wild. I need a direct line to ICE in Los Angeles and say, hey, you're getting the wrong ones. Do you know? Come this way. They have this thing of like, in the UK, like immigration is a problem,
Starting point is 00:04:53 but then the backlash is like, well, yeah, but late night food now is something. Late night food here sucks. There is no late night food. But I'm saying, no diners are open. No diners are open. It's true.
Starting point is 00:05:01 But I'm saying in London, without them, there's no shwarma places. There's no cababs. There's no, without immigrants. In London, there's no late. But that's all they had before immigrants came. I'm saying without immigrants here, we're not getting packages and we're not getting delivery grubhub. Dude, we lived without it before, for some reason, I'm taking like an anti-immigrant stance right now for some reason, just to argue. That's so funny when you start arguing.
Starting point is 00:05:25 And then you realize halfway there, you're like, I actually don't believe in this. Yeah. Can I just pause? I'm just debating. I'm just debating. Yeah Just like Well yeah
Starting point is 00:05:34 But let's not forget Blah blah blah Dude years ago I used to deliver pizza In Williamsburg Is this a lie? I'm not a liar like you I remember
Starting point is 00:05:43 Like I guess Ari lied And said he loved Turnstile And he grew up With their lead singer Aaron Which is an admirable
Starting point is 00:05:50 Pull For the fences No yeah I grew up with the lead With the lead I When I said lead I was like
Starting point is 00:05:55 Oh shouldn't say that Dude actually I should have been like On this On this trip That I went on Where are we I lied.
Starting point is 00:06:03 This was my lying phase of drinking. Did you ever lie when you were drinking to pick up chicks with a lie that nobody? Like when you were like, oh, I went to, I grew up with the singer, turns off for a second. I was like, oh, my lie was, oh, I was a backup drummer in third-type line. That was my lie. That's such a wild one because you need a backup catcher for baseball. You don't need a backup drummer. Drummers rarely get hurt.
Starting point is 00:06:28 On tour, something could have. Do you know there are? Oh no, it's hockey. Huh. But there's also local musicians where you're like, oh shit, we actually need a cellist for this. They have like a go-to, like, standby, like, call where all the agencies know. That's like what, like, guitar techs are. Like if a guitarist gets injured on tour, the guitar tech takes over or whatever, like,
Starting point is 00:06:47 there's stories of metal bands. Like the guitar tech would just play backstage. Yeah. And they would like replace them. So in my mind, I was like, there's no way for them to find out. But it is kind of cool if I was the backup drummer in third house. There was some guy in the Boston area that said he was the catcher for the Red Sox, the goalie for the Bruins, and something else, like mask, all masks. And people are like, okay, the center.
Starting point is 00:07:11 This was in the 80s when you couldn't really look it up. But he was getting laid off climber bitches. It never worked for me. It did not. No, because I liked third eye blind and no one else was like, third eye blind, cool. That wasn't like a big pull. I don't know why I went. Can I have a hot take on third eye blind?
Starting point is 00:07:30 blind and the genre of the time anyway. It was the end of white dominance. And they're still happy, go lucky, in their music, but the theme started to getting dark. I wish you'd step back from that ledge, my friend. But it was like, wish you would step back from that ledge. Well, semi-junk of life is about meth. Interesting.
Starting point is 00:07:54 But it was all pop-pop, pop, pop. Yeah. Yeah. So you're saying that was the end of white. The end of white dominance in pop music? In music in general. Now it's like whites are backseat for sure to blacks. Well, I mean, it all depends on what genre.
Starting point is 00:08:08 Cross genre. I'm saying the popularity. In popularity. No, of course, in genre. No way. In country, it's definitely. Dude. Actually, it's changing other countries getting popular.
Starting point is 00:08:16 And that's all white. Third eye blind was before like the strokes and those like lowery side revival bands. Yeah, let me say it again. It's not white dominance. It's not knowing anything else was. wrong in the world. Ah. And so there's the first crack in the armor
Starting point is 00:08:32 of the Reagan 80s like, oh, everything's great, we're happy a good time. I love you. Just, uh, what's the Cindy Lopper song? Girls just want to have fun. Yeah, all that shit. And then it becomes like, oh, actually, we've been pretty bad to some people.
Starting point is 00:08:47 Yeah, I feel like third eye blind came in at the tail end of like the 90s when everything was good. Everything's great. Yeah. So that's why me and my peak white. Like, this is all fucking awesome. And some people like,
Starting point is 00:08:58 wasn't great for us like yeah we weren't looking at you yeah but also it was still pretty great I think it's still pretty great I think the 90s were great for mostly everyone across the board there's always bad for people but I feel like the 90s are great for most people yeah regardless of who you are when were you born 90s 84 there was a book about your year I know it's called being it's called being it's a fucking textbook by the way
Starting point is 00:09:24 oh really okay so you went up you went Montreal Montreal Canada Montreal Canada 2006 December this is not so when you said Montreal I thought you'd met the festival no interesting no this is peak drinking Ian Montreal New Year's Eve trip New Year's Eve is my birthday when was this 9th 2006 2006 into 2007 let me think for a second because I remember it was 36 when they told me it was too old for Montreal the same year Duncan and Brendan Walsh got it at 36 at 36 at 36 they said you're old for this and I'm like, Duncan got it at the same year.
Starting point is 00:09:59 And then the next year, Brennan got it. I'm like, what, what are you? I was like, oh, I'm just not good. Yeah. And you didn't have the heart to tell me. So it's actually easier to say, well, we're not looking at white guys right now.
Starting point is 00:10:08 I would much rather just hear you're not good. Would you? Tell me, yes, tell me I'm not good. Tell me the truth. So I can go, okay, instead of going, oh, yeah, it's this thing that I can't fix. I'm defeated no matter what. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:20 Right? Yeah. Like, I'd infinitely rather hear, you're not good. You, we just don't think you'd have it. I'm going to work and fucking get it instead of being like, we're not taking white guys. And then I'm going to be like, oh, oh, I feel so bad.
Starting point is 00:10:35 Oh, the world's stacked up. It's like, no. But you know, if you tell 10 comics, you're not good, you're not good, you're not good. At least one of them, probably six. You know what the fuck you're talking about, man. You're too old? I'm like, I don't know the industry. Okay.
Starting point is 00:10:48 Of course, but how, they told you you couldn't do new faces at 36? Yeah, I was too old. And how old are you now? 38. I'm trying to think what year? it was though 36 so 74 84 84 94 no oh 84 94 04 10. 13 10 so 7 2010 would have been 30 that's what it was 2010 so you so in 2006 2006 I was trying to get into Montreal could right back to your story sorry needless

And this is before you suck dicks regularly through holes and walls? I never did it regularly. It was more like treat yourself, pal. You know, it was more of a more of a mooch-boosh every once in a while instead of a full-on entree, you know.
Starting point is 00:15:28 And I don't know if you heard, but I don't suck dick through holes. Holden walls no more. You only been around in a while. I just do that. I don't suck dicks through holes no more, all right? What if you had a real thing with glory holes, but there wasn't run around? Like, can you just pull through the hole in your underwear then? It's like next best thing.
Starting point is 00:15:43 I bring my own Gloria whole underwear. Who were the guys? Why did you decide to go to Montreal? What was it about? Friends from high school. Okay. We all decided to go on a trip. We would go like, we would all do like trips yearly to either.
Starting point is 00:16:00 somebody's town that they were living in or some of these guys would go like way to europe or Brazil or whatever and then i i don't know why we decided on montreal but um it was i i don't even know if if it was 2006 and i was born in 84 how old would that make me 84 22 23 because i'm december 31st 1984 so it was my 22nd birthday into 20th oh it was December 21 knew that was going to 22 what the hell was that shroom fest thing from 2012 masks um yeah so i was like 23 22 23 24 i forget but it was a peak drinking to where i was starting to become like a huge liability to the people around me how were you a bad drunk what would you do well if you take a look on the screen that's you that's me damn i couldn't tell to be honest that's that's me the problem is
Starting point is 00:16:59 Can I zoom? Yeah. Here's the problem. That's not that you're having fun, that you're double fisting is not even the issue. It's that you're doing it. It's just some lady having a nice time. She's just having a nice time at a bar
Starting point is 00:17:14 and she's got to deal with this piece of shit. My nickname was piggy because I used to put my belly out. I'd slap it and go out to people go, ring, ring, ring, ring, right, right, right. So, yeah, this was like two days before the trip. Okay. And prior, Oh, this before. Okay.
Starting point is 00:17:30 So we all decided, I don't know what made us decide Montreal. I guess that was kind of equidistant for all of us where we were living at the time. I was living in New York. A handful of my friends are living in Boston. And we would go home to Delaware for like Christmas vacation. So then we were like, all right, let's go to Montreal. So we loaded up a van. And the night we drove, me and my one buddy were like, look, like this rock.
Starting point is 00:17:59 is going to suck. Let's just get blackout drunk and we'll pass out and by the time we wake up we'll be in Montreal. I don't hate the reasoning. It's pretty good. Wait, but you weren't driving?
Starting point is 00:18:11 No. Okay, great. Then I don't hate the reasoning. I wasn't driving. This picture was them trying to get me into the car. Yeah. Trying to get you into the car.
Starting point is 00:18:21 You're trying to get me into the car. You're already a problem. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, come on, Ian. I took ears outside from the bar and they were trying to get me into the car. And this is actually a picture of me earlier in the night. This is me at the beginning of the night.
Starting point is 00:18:37 That looks like you. Just had, good old fun time guy. Yeah. Same night. Same night. To go to Montreal. So apparently, I didn't know this because I was blackout, but we left Wilmington at like 1 a.m.
Starting point is 00:18:53 And at maybe 2.30, I realized I didn't have my past. in a blackout and they had to drive all the way back to my mom's house for me to get my passport. I think we were like on the road for like an hour and a half. You're a problem. Huge problem. Huge. My name name was a liability.
Starting point is 00:19:12 I was a complete liability, unable to function, getting in fights, like ruining everyone's time. I have a picture actually of me. Oh, whoops. I think there was a shot of my cock there. Let me see it. Let me see it. We won't show it. There was...
Starting point is 00:19:30 Let me see a cock. There's a picture I think of me. I just got done pissing on my friend. Oh. Oh, yeah. See how everyone was just drinking one shot? I have one shot, two shots. Two shots, two beers.
Starting point is 00:19:44 Yeah, yeah. Wow. So it was just off to the races. You knew the guy from Twilight? Who? Let's go back to that one. That? Yeah, isn't that to the right?
Starting point is 00:19:57 Writer. Him? Yeah, he's named from Twilight. He's in the were-off. My buddy Joey. What's that guy's name for Twilight? And he was in Mickey 17. Patrick?
Starting point is 00:20:05 Wait, Robert Pattinson? Robert Pattinson. You think that's Robert Pattinson? My boner does. Oh, that's hilarious. I can't wait to tell him. Can't set it for coffee or truly. I have a picture somewhere.
Starting point is 00:20:20 I just got done pissing on my friend. Oh, yeah, this. I took a picture of us in the elevator in the mirror on the elevator and in this picture my cock is out and I'm taking a piss and I pissed all over this guy's feet and he
Starting point is 00:20:39 really roughed me up but yeah complete liability could not like I would just everyone would stop and I would just drink and drink and drink and then I'd be the first one drinking when we woke up and then me me and this guy here Joe we were
Starting point is 00:20:58 like the two terrible twins. We went to this mountain called Montreblanc. I've been there. Yeah. It's great. They do larpin outside at the bottom. We,
Starting point is 00:21:10 I mean, this whole trip I was in and out of a blackout. And I just remember we went to Montreblanc, and he found weed somehow, and we made our way to the top of the mountain, and he just gave me a handful of like weed in a hand with no bag or anything. It was like, here, I found this. And we're like, all right.
Starting point is 00:21:28 And so for like a year, I was finding nuggets of wheat in my jacket pocket because we were just taking nugs of wheat in our hand and just putting them into this little like one hit we had and ripping it. That's so funny. That's so it's a wrong way to do it. Oh, everything was the wrong way. Everything was the wrong way. It was, I never did anything like the right way. The normal way was never a possibility when I was drinking. So who went up?
Starting point is 00:21:55 Who was it? Uh, me and, uh, man, how many was it? It was our friend Josh, Steve, Steve, Steve, where are you going? Is this part of the show? Yeah, part of the show where I just talk. I'm listening. I'm listening. I'm listening.
Starting point is 00:22:14 I'm right here. Ian, I'm right here, buddy. I'm right here. I'm with you. I'm with you. It was. It was. It was.
Starting point is 00:22:21 I'm right here. One movie. I'm right here. I'm right here. I'm with you. What happened to your arm? What? Did you get tested?
Starting point is 00:22:27 I got the bug. Yeah. Nice. I've been evading the bug for a very long time. Wait, what movie is that? I'm right here. I'm right here, buddy. What movie?
Starting point is 00:22:40 I'm with you. I don't know. It's got the guy from Swingers. Vince Vaughn? Uh-huh. Wedding Crashers? Not wedding crashes at all. Not winning crashes at all.
Starting point is 00:22:52 Swingers. Nope. He's in, reminds you of weed. He's in a foreign country. He's got Anheish or whatever name is that had to go fucking burn alive. Is that the one who burned alive? Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:23:05 Remember she dated Ellen to get ahead in the business and then dropped right before she knew Ellen was going to be outed. And then Ellen burned her to death on purpose to ruin. She was really good in the other country with not Leaves Schreiber, but someone that reminds me somehow slightly of Leaveshreiber. And they got caught with weed, but swingers had already made his way back home. and so then they go the burned alive lady goes hey you got to go back there because my brother's on death row
Starting point is 00:23:33 bro I have no fucking idea what movie this is this is crazy two buddies and then one of them chucked a fucking bike the guy came back to collect his bike and they found fucking pounds a week it was so cheap there and they go well that Vince Vaughn was one of the two guys and they go

But we were on a Halloween bar crawl, me and Sal, we got, and DeStefano, we got 25 people that get the same Batman outfit, and we went to, and we tried to get in the Hollywood parade. We got in there. Leif Schreiber was randomly walking by, and we were like, oh, let leave in, too, with this kid.
Starting point is 00:24:59 he was like, thank you. Why wouldn't they let you in the Hollywood parade? Do you have to sign like a waiver? Like, why wouldn't they just let you join? You know, dignitaries and such. I'm just looking at all this stuff. Yes. Why do you have Fidelberg's name on your wall?
Starting point is 00:25:32 It's my bits for my last special. You have a bit about Fidelberg? I do. Really? I know my closing bit after him. It's about a dead Holocaust inmate. I named after Fidelberg because I asked his phone once. So I was like to make it up for him, I named a bit after him.
Starting point is 00:25:47 Yoney Fidelberg, most annoying guy in the Holocaust. He's my closer. I was like, buddy, I'll make it up to you, Fidelberg. When he left the room, I took his phone and I just fucking asked it. And he was like, I'm getting a new phone. That's disgusting. And I was like, no, wash it. And he's out $1,800.
Starting point is 00:26:03 And he wouldn't take money. So I named a bit after him. I made Fidelberg do poppers with me at the Pride parade a couple years ago. What? Yeah. Barstow always has me on their pride parade float. Fair. Because I'm like one of the only kind of gay people, Barstall knows.
Starting point is 00:26:19 We'll talk to it. Besides me, Joey, and Pat. Yeah. Actually, I don't know if on the reason, but they, the first year they had a truck, the second year they had an actual float. And the year after that, they did not have a float. And there was a little bit of an issue. They had me get on the microphone.
Starting point is 00:26:40 And they were like, and you're funny, say, get the cry route up. And I was like, all right, who here believes love is love? We're going down Fifth Avenue, everyone's cheering. Who thinks love is love? And everyone's like, whew. I'm like, who here is gay? What a pandera.
Starting point is 00:26:54 And they're like, yeah. And I go, who here thinks Fauci is a liar? And everyone was like, what? And they had one of the ad execs on the float. And he ran and, like, grab the mic and was like, get out of here. Stop. Don't silence my queer voice. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Which is one great reason to It's funny where you're like, let's go to another place. We'll just drink a bunch. And you're like, can't we do that here? It's better another place. Well, that was
Starting point is 00:29:48 like the argument of our, so like my two best friends, I'm still closer today. And I still talk to these guys. We don't ever like see each other. But they were like, why do you have to go somewhere else to get fucked up? Why can't you stay in Delaware and we'll all have a party? We'll all hang out because me and my best friend else and we always spent my birthday together like every year, every year, every year.
Starting point is 00:30:10 And then this was the first year I wasn't. Hey, see if you can get the rights to that? My aim is true. See how much the rights are to that song if we can use it here. And we got like an argument because I had to like just go somewhere. else to drink. And this is around the time when like everything I did was based on like drinking. So it was like, well, I'm going to go here to drink and it'll be more fun. You know what I mean? And we we went. I forget like honestly like looking at the pictures helps because so much of it is like
Starting point is 00:30:41 hazy. But we all got in this kid's van and we just drove up to Montreal. A child's van. We all got a child. They were trying to abduct, but it's a kid's van. Yeah. And, uh, we all got a child. They were trying to abduct, but it's a kids man. Yeah. And we got up to Montreal. We stayed at a hostel. No, really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:55 Yeah, yeah. Have you stayed in hostels before? Mm-hmm. It's gnarly. You seem like a hostel guy. I love him. You seem like a choose hostel over hotel guy. Oh, sometimes.
Starting point is 00:31:06 Yeah. Not for one night, but... Right. Yeah. You meet so many more interesting people. Yeah. Yeah. And you save scratch, for sure.
Starting point is 00:31:16 For some reason, dude, is... Did you find this? Nobody was like hot until recently. I don't know what it is, but everybody is so hot now. And back like, even in like college, like after college for years and years,
Starting point is 00:31:33 everyone I was meeting was just like pretty frumpy, pretty fine. And now everywhere you go, every single person is hot. It's very strange. I know what it is. What? Instagram.
Starting point is 00:31:43 You think? At any moment, women who are the ones more interested in being hot. or might be on record or something. They might run in some of the supermarket and be like, oh, let's take a picture. They're like, whoa, I'm not ready for this. Dude, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:31:58 For so long, I feel like everybody was just weird looking and like okay with it. And now- Remember Janine Garofalo was the hottest actress in America? Dude. She's still hold together. But it was a different vibe that we were going for as Americans. If she was like, the line. Yeah, that was like,
Starting point is 00:32:18 By the way, Ginogarofalo, 75 years later, has dropped half a point. Dude, she's great. It's crazy. I watch her still. She's so great. I sat next to her on a flight, and we had so much fun, like, talking shit on the stewardess, like, going by and everything. It was really, really fun. But, yeah, I feel like everybody was so fucking hot.
Starting point is 00:32:39 And looking back at this trip, everybody is, like, gross and weird looking. And now you go everywhere and every. I honestly think it's something in the food that's like making people develop and like look better. I don't know what it is. Could be. So where'd you go? What'd you do when you got there? Stay to the hostel.
Starting point is 00:32:58 Went to a hostel. I was coming out of a blackout when we got there. I wish I knew Ian drinking. Dude, it was a fucking nightmare. It was, it was very bad. You know how some people quit and it's like, ah? And some people were like, yeah, finally. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:13 You were the latter? Oh, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. This was the last time. Even the people that were that like finally, there's still a moment in the night. We're like, can't you just be this guy for the whole night? Well, there was this was like a watershed moment because this was the last hurrah of like, let's give it one more shot to be around you when you're drunk. And I ruined it.
Starting point is 00:33:32 And then after this, it was very much like, dude, we like literally not answering phone calls, having to figure out where people were and show up. And then like here on the other side of the door, fuck, you found out. All right. No. What's up? And yeah, yeah, like problem, problem. No one wanted me around. I was just bad fucking news.
Starting point is 00:33:54 I was either fighting or stealing or like blacking out and waking up somewhere. The end of this trip, I went home with some woman that barely spoke English. She was like in her 50s. And I lied to her and told her I was an investment banker in America and that I had two homes. She believed me, brought me to her place. in a part of Montreal where I had no clue where I was. We get to her place. She takes her clothes off.
Starting point is 00:34:22 We get in bed and she starts taking out pictures that she has on her, like, dresser and everything of her family and starts telling me that they're dead and that she's like a widow. And I just remember being like, oh, let's just go to sleep. Like I was like,
Starting point is 00:34:37 there's no him going to have sex with this, like crying French woman. And then I woke up, knew no English, had to get back to the hostel. the only street I knew was St. Laurent Street because that's where all the strip clubs were. So I was just going up to people knocking on their doors going English, English,
Starting point is 00:34:54 St. Laurent Street, cab, cab, St. Laurent Street, English. And then finally, somehow I found my way back to St. Laurent Street, ran to the hostel. The car's packed. Everybody's waiting. And they're like, where the fuck were you? And I was like, I don't know, man. And then we get in the car and just like drove home. I snuck booze into the car.
Starting point is 00:35:14 It was a fucking mess. And the, yeah, I met the woman at like a McDonald's. Oh, my God. Yeah. By the way, that's what separates you or me. What? I would have. Oh, no, no.
Starting point is 00:35:25 I'm going to say, even in my like debauchrous time period, I still was like, oh, this isn't a good idea. You know what I mean? Like, I could not have sex with this woman that was sobbing about her, like, dead husband and child in her in her French house. It was just like, it's okay, let's just go to sleep. Like, I couldn't push through. It was terrible. I mean, she got naked to tell you about it, too. I think I have a picture of her, too.
Starting point is 00:35:55 When a chick takes you over and just gets naked, you're like, sweet, why are we playing this game? That's so much better because I'm still not sure. You're making me sure. Yeah, that's like a sign. But then when they take a picture of their family with them into bed and starts pointing and crying and telling you what's going on, I can sleep good at night knowing that I wasn't like let's talk about it later yeah you know i was like okay hold on i gotta go cry once and
Starting point is 00:36:22 then i was like oh okay really and then like and then like she'd be like are you just not gonna try anymore i'm like okay and then you try for a while that she'd cry about some like dead dead person in her life and you're like oh and she goes why aren't you trying you're like come on man i got a handy in the end is not all we oh this is her that's the oh we can't show her that's that is funny she's pretty though let me see her i can see her she's not bad for a widower so you just went back to her place with you that's her house back up back up i took a picture of her house i went home with this 45 year back up 45 year old woman let me see zoom in zoom in zoom in what what does happen oh that's her i think she was

Kalash Patel, yeah. That's her god. He co-hosts Flagrant too. And then... And then I took a picture of a street sign somehow.
Starting point is 00:37:29 I don't know what I was thinking. And then this is everyone... Is this film? Mad at me? Are these film days? Oh, yeah, this is all of us. Afterwards. But you're all wet to drink.

Starting point is 00:38:46 And the police came, and I'll never forget, the guy that threw the whiskey gave my buddy like a cigarette. And so my friend told the cops, he's like, no, the bartender did it. This guy's a good guy. I saw it all. Like totally, like, dogged out the innocent guy because the guy that threw the whiskey gave a cigarettes. It was like, it was a good guy.
Starting point is 00:39:10 I got you back. Oh, that's the best. So while I'm in there finessing this 45-year-old widow, my buddy's outside giving a witness impact statement to the police. Like, this guy's innocent, the bartender's the problem. It was just fucking debauchery. When we got to St. Laurent, when we got to Mont Tremblaunt that night, nobody decided who was going to be the designated driver.
Starting point is 00:39:34 Yeah. So we all decided to sleep in the car and then wake up and whoever felt the most sober would drive us back. And there was one. point where we thought like we're probably going to die so me and my buddy got blackout because we were like look if we die at least we won't be awake for it so we just got blackout drunk in the back of the van and our other buddy held onto the wheel while our one friend controlled the pedals and then somehow we got back to the hostel that's crazy yeah yeah you were driving around

Starting point is 00:48:45 happening. I have a new storytelling show coming out. Completely unrelated to this not happening. It's a storytelling show. Where's it coming out on? visual audio visual yeah paper view yeah
Starting point is 00:48:59 for real though paper view but we scouted this place did I tell you my story about this place did I tell you my story about this place no you tell me your story first you have two stories now about it and I have one so do you want to go you go and then I go and you go both
Starting point is 00:49:14 I only have really one story you have another one you're promoting this you're promoting this to a popular black comedian recently was I yeah at the cellar It was so funny. Wait, what? What happened? Oh, yeah. I forgot about that.
Starting point is 00:49:33 That's so funny. It was so funny. It was making me laugh so hard. Oh, yeah. That was great. Yeah, Dave Chappelle was like so drunk, like grabbing onto Ari being like, you're special Jew, man. It's amazing.
Starting point is 00:49:52 I haven't seen it. Right, go ahead. He's like, I haven't seen it, but everybody who's everybody says it's amazing. I don't know how to, I can't be like, thank you, because you didn't see it. So I'm like, well, that's cool that people are talking about it. I can't say thank you.
Starting point is 00:50:07 You're telling me you haven't seen it. So it's like, this is cool that you're talking to me. You're too drunk to actually talk to, which is fine to be drunk. And you haven't seen it. And so I'm like, that's very cool. People who hate you saying it's good. People love.
Starting point is 00:50:21 it and I know a lot of people that hate Jews and they love it. Kanye's a fan man. And then he's like, good to see you, good to see. It shakes my head as he's all going. I go, I have a special two, Dave. It's on YouTube. Happy and free. Wild happy and free.
Starting point is 00:50:38 Who's at the cutting room, Dave? Dave, leave a comment. Yeah, that was great. Everybody check this out. for sure you're a hilarious comic but thank okay so that was one now I'll go yes yes I went I can see it here I went to scout it for my storytelling show called the end which has nothing to do with another storytelling show I once host a call this not happening yes so they asked me you to see on the right they were like so
Starting point is 00:51:11 people put a curtain here yeah and they go why would they put a curtain there and they go why sometimes when they shoot here and they go why would they put cafe seating I don't know what kind of seating you had I we took all right we took all all the cafe seating out and did actual crowd seating. So the guy asked me, he goes, I don't know why these people come here and put actual seating in here instead of cafe seating and put a wall here.
Starting point is 00:51:32 And I go, and I'm looking around, like looking how it would look from on stage as I'm scouting it. And I go, do you want the actual answer? And the guy's like, what? I mean, I can tell you the actual answer. Yeah. I don't know these comics who have done that,
Starting point is 00:51:44 but I know the answer. And he goes, what is the answer? I'm like, okay, so we feed off energy and the more people you get, the more hype for it is. So cafe seating is four people when you could probably get like eight in that same area because there's no tables.
Starting point is 00:51:57 So then it's just like bigger laughs. And then we put that wall in our curtain to wall off this like blank space. Yeah. And he goes, well, like no, that's the actual answer. And he goes, well, that makes sense actually. Was it Steve? Maybe.
Starting point is 00:52:11 Gray hair Steve? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Love Steve. Yeah. Steve is great. Dude, well, I'll tell you, God bless the cutting room, but boy, oh boy,
Starting point is 00:52:19 we had two shows sold out Sunday night It's a good job writing this up here The bar, the proscenium Oh yeah Put chairs there I like the look of it Dude the entire stage design Is everything that was at the cutting room John Nunn helped me with that
Starting point is 00:52:34 Long time best friend He worked on tires Shout out Johnny Nunn Yeah he helped me stage design this Everything there was from the cutting room The cutting room itself is like such a cool room It's an old New York You gotta cut off the thing
Starting point is 00:52:49 The problem is the fake entrance too. So you got to either open those doors and then have it wide open or close those doors. What did you do? Well, we closed it.

Starting point is 00:58:28 They didn't know that it was like Netflix, HBO level production. They didn't know that we were getting rid of the cafe seating and putting in stadium seating. They didn't know any of that. They just thought it was a one cam shoot. They didn't know. I was using six fucking cams. So, dude, the fucking nightmare that was dealing with this. And Steve goes,
Starting point is 00:58:49 Look, I understand, but Daddy the Cool, they bring in people every year. If you can get them to move, they'll move, but I can't do anything. I had to call this guy. His name was Jerry Lee. He's a dentist. I had to call him and be like, listen, man, artist to artists, like I'm filming my first specials or any way you can move the show or move it early in the day. And he's like, no, I can't do it.

Starting point is 01:01:41 Yeah, but I won't, you don't give them. Yeah. And you know what they do? You can't do one. You know what they do? They come up and they take a little poster funnel and then you throw it. And when it gets in, you win a little prize. It gets into their vaginas?
Starting point is 01:01:53 It hits it. It doesn't go inside. But you win a prize. Because they don't commit. I have a stick. I have a, I still have, I should have brought it. I still have a magnet with a stripper named Delilah that I won from throwing a loony inner thing. And it.

Starting point is 01:04:39 Why? Yes, I was fucking blackout drunk. I tried to reason with her. I was like, don't you want me to find love? And so that's why on January 1st, I couldn't call anyone because I was out of all my minutes.
Starting point is 01:04:51 So that's why I'm running around going, get me to St. Oron Street, so then that way I could figure out my way back to the hostel, because I had no way of contacting anyone. You know what's called Rue? You know it's called Rue. Skull Rue? It's called Rue. What's Rue?

Starting point is 01:06:24 I loved on the old This Not Happening, which is a different. different show. Yes. People like, hey, they suggested me and they said, you didn't do it.
Starting point is 01:06:31 I'm like, buddy, like Brett Ernst. I'm like, your name never came up. Really? Whatever rep told you that it came up or whatever your contact
Starting point is 01:06:38 was at Comedy Central, that's a lie because I was on every call. Yeah. And trust me, you're my friend and I would have fought for you and I had to pick my fights. Yeah. Your name didn't come up.
Starting point is 01:06:47 Yeah. And he's like, what? I'm like, deal with that. Well, at least my name came up and it was shot down. And it was shot down.
Starting point is 01:06:52 Now, the person that shot it down, Are they in the room with us right now? Is that person was in proximity to me? As someone who's in charge of the show? It came up at a point where we're not looking for anybody this level anymore. This level? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:07 What are you talking about? Dude, we had like, we have six arena acts on the show. Oh, and then you were going to... Yeah, we got some mid-level people, but like, the people who have done the show and killed her bunch of times. Well, that's hurtful. Yeah, if we had unlimited time, for sure, you would have been invited. Well, that's nice.
Starting point is 01:07:24 Yeah. Thank you. Yeah. Can we just at least say I'm a little above mid level? I'm mid level. I'm mid level. You're mid level? You're high level?
Starting point is 01:07:32 I'm mid level and your high level. No, no, no. Like you're, I think you're above high level. Above high? Yeah. No. What are the levels? High level, which I guess got to be split up.
Starting point is 01:07:43 That's Shane Nate. Oh, I thought it was arena level, high level, mid level, low level. Well, I don't, then Norman's high level. Okay. Norman's bigger than me. Samaril's bigger than me. Stob is bigger than me. They're not a.
Starting point is 01:07:54 I don't think they're bigger than you. I think you're right up there. Way more tickets. Really? Yeah. I'm, I'm. You sell good. I'm not unhappy, but I'm a mid, I'm a club to occasional theater.
Starting point is 01:08:09 That's mid level. And then low level, well, there's another like open micer. Then like you don't work. And then like low level is like, oh, Sagalow is now mid level. Mid level is pretty wide. Yeah, but mid level sounds so insulting. Yeah. But I'm mid-level.
Starting point is 01:08:29 You're not mid-level. Yeah, we need more categories. Because all you got is mid-level low. Yeah. Mid-high-low. Yeah. Either way you cut it, it's insulting. It's a win to be brought up.
Starting point is 01:08:41 It's a knock to be called mid-level. If, tell you what, though, if, like, when you did the show at this comedy store, if it was like, oh, my God, that was one of the best stories I ever heard, your name would have come up earlier. Ah, so I failed the audition. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It wasn't an audition. It was just like, it was good. would rather hear that. Yeah, it was good.
Starting point is 01:08:58 Then no, no, sorry, you're too old. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Fair. Yeah. No, if we ever bring it back, you'll be too old. Oh, fuck.
Starting point is 01:09:10 No, if I had more time to, I would, it's just like, there was, it was just like, yeah, anyway. I wanted to use everybody. Yeah. They just couldn't. That's so hard. Yeah. To be on you for the fucking. And then, you know, the hardest part, I never got to wrap this up, but was, was like, when
Starting point is 01:09:26 you want to wrap this up. has a high level person, a high, like theater to like above theater act and go, I'd like you to do this, but I got to see your story first. And their agent managers like, no fucking way. Make the offer or not. And it's like, I can't make an offer if I don't know what they're going to do. No way. I can't just make an offer.
Starting point is 01:09:43 So then I'm like, was there anyone that you were like, sorry, we can't. It was like so super big. It was just a cold people. I'm like, I don't know how to do this. I'm insulting them. I got to see what you say for you, Jordan. I could be like, I would have to see what you're going to do. And then let me think about it.
Starting point is 01:09:56 And a lot of people would, and I'm like, this isn't really a story. Yeah. Or like, it was fine. It's not there. And I don't have time for you to get it there. Yeah. Soter for the one on this is not happening unrelated to this show. Took a year to work his story.
Starting point is 01:10:08 Really? Yeah. And it was great. And you helped him develop it? No, he did it. Or he did it on the road for like a year. No way. What was his story?
Starting point is 01:10:16 It's about getting robbed. Interesting. Yeah. Getting held up at gunpoint and like kind of kidnapped and whatever. But it was great, but he had to work on the road, make the jokes good. So it's like, you can't be like, you can't be like, you can have. have something good in a month? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:10:28 I have so many stories, but they come out in the moment, like actually finding like a story and like structuring and working on it takes so long. And go, what part of this is important? How do I tell us like a chick where I'm like back up way too far? Do you think you'll on the success of this? Do you think you'll make another one or is this just like a one off? I think it's done.
Starting point is 01:10:47 The whole point of this, who knows what the future hold? The whole point of this was to finish off. Sorry, it's unrelated. It's unrelated. But I had another show that it was stolen for me. I know. And so I wanted to do something unrelated, but make it like a big. I just wanted to end on my terms.
Starting point is 01:11:02 I wanted to do, so it's called the end. I like that. Plus story, the end. Yeah. Yeah. This is the end. That's the name of the book. So you've never been back to Montreal?
Starting point is 01:11:16 I flew there to drive to Ottawa. The Chish was so fucking hot there. In the summer. I got to go. They're on bikes with like skirts. Actually, I recall my agent tomorrow about Montreal. Oh, it's not a good touring city. No, no, about going up for JFL on like a showcase show.

Man, what a different Montreal that I always did. I pretty much only went to Montreal for just for less for the Montreal Comedy Festival. It's interesting, I have a love-hate relationship with that place, and beginning it was love it, and then hate it because I couldn't get in.
Starting point is 01:18:37 And then once I got in, buddy Robbie, Robbie Pra, got me into the nasty show. You know how I got into the nasty show? It's one of the biggest shows in Montreal, even though they're way bigger shows, but it's like one of the most important shows. Obviously, Slateon used to host it all the time. I met Jimmy Carr doing that.
Starting point is 01:18:55 I saw Louis C.K. do a set. He told me... He actually mentioned it years later on an old episode of The Skepert Tank. Those are all gone, by the way. He goes, hey, I saw you do a joke, where you slow motion jerked off two dudes. I always remember that. Good joke. I was like, thanks, Louis C.K.
Starting point is 01:19:14 Anyway, I think that very show. He was going to go on later after the intermission. And he goes, how are they? I'm like, dude, they're great. They're going to be terrible for you. What do you mean? I'm like, dude, they're so ready to be too drunk. You're not going to like it.
Starting point is 01:19:29 And I was right. He didn't. He started yelling at him. Isn't that crazy? The highest level comedian there is. I mean, no matter what your category is, no matter what your breakdown is, he's top five ever.
Starting point is 01:19:43 Even that conservatively. Easy, if you want to pick him number one, easy. Nobody's going to be like, how dare you? If you leave out of the top 10, you're, okay, you're being difficult for no reason. that's what a great he is. And on that night, on that show, the crowd was just,
Starting point is 01:20:05 couldn't handle it. And he was at his prime right then. That's when he got to that discussion about, I've mentioned this. It was that show. About how to build new hours and, like, the joy of it and stuff like that. It's crazy.
Starting point is 01:20:19 It's crazy. It would better for me than for Louis X.K. Dumb, crowd. Dumb. But Ian had a different experience. My first, the way I finally got booked to the nasty show is they wouldn't book me on new faces The big show, they wouldn't book me, wouldn't book me, wouldn't book me
Starting point is 01:20:33 A couple callbacks, wouldn't book me. That was a hack. And then they saw me open for Rogan at the old club soda. And there was some heckler. And he goes, she was like a wreck. He was like, show us your tits. And she goes, no. And he goes, tell you what, if you show us your tits,
Starting point is 01:20:54 Ari will show, we were partying back then. Ari will show you his balls. Or is Dick. Now, at the time, I was in the back in the green room with the guys from Skunk magazine. It was a weed magazine. Can you believe it? What are those are what magazines are? Let alone weed.
Starting point is 01:21:12 It's legal now. Why would you do that? I mean, I guess I have Sikar Officianado. So, I'm wrong. And they were showing me a new, made-to-order gravity bong, not the kind you're making yourself in your bathtub. Shout out central Washington. But that's actually that gravity bomb. gave me. Lenny
Starting point is 01:21:32 from Skunk. Shout out you. That's the way I show Big J. O'Kerson and his wife, Christine O'Kerson, how strong the L.A. Wee was. He said L.A. weed is the same as New York weed. And I said, you're out of your mind. You're retarded, Jay. You're so dumb. You don't even finish off your gloves.
Starting point is 01:21:48 And he goes, prove me wrong. And I had the Super Blue Dream, which was high end, not the highest end. Weed at the time. And we were both shivering in the corner afterwards. Maybe it was the gravity bong? Maybe it's the weed. Maybe it's a combination of both. Maybe it was just friendships, you know, gets you high, sort of. So it was already pretty high on friendship with Jay and Christine. Anyway, so I heard that. I was in the back with Lenny and I was like,
Starting point is 01:22:20 oh shit, I got to go. And I just, I mean, me and Rogan used to party so hard on stage. We used to have so much fun. I got jerked off by some lady in, I think West Palm, Tate Fletcher saw it happen, but she had just dropped off like a bunch of other people and I kissed her. No, I licked her hand first. I think I did a story about it
Starting point is 01:22:41 on this not happening. And I heard him go, oh, we talked about it the next day on stage. We were having a blast. Dude, those dates with Rogan, I mean, I'm not who I am as a comic, not even close without him opening me up to those kind of crowds.
Starting point is 01:22:59 It was so fun. Just going, do whatever you want, bro. Do whatever you want. There's no rules here. That's how you fucking unleash somebody, like a loser like me, is tell them, hey, there's no rules here. How do you say in Portuguese never stop stifling artist? I saw that t-shirt. I should have fucking got it.
Starting point is 01:23:14 It was a tank top. It was too high. Anyway, so I came with my dick out. The crowd makes a certain noise that over 500 people makes when some flaccid male dick is out. I've never fallen out of love with that sound. You could call me lowbrow all you want. Never fall out of love with that sound. Is this cool?
Starting point is 01:23:36 See my face go in and out of the shadow? Hold on. Alan, is this cool? Alan, put on here. Alan says, cool, not cool, and then make a circle around one. Extra work. Today's episode is edited expertly by Alan Kaffey. That's produced by your mom's house network.
Starting point is 01:23:55 Listen, guys, Ian, oh, so anyway, so I put my deck out, the crowd went nuts. The next day I got a phone call. Say, we'd like you to do the nasty show in Montreal. And I talked with Robbie about it. long time and he re-agreed that my style of nasty is not like obligatory nasty it's the same as big jay uh same as jimmy car actually same as adrian it's like we can't help it adrian is not sex dirty she's like dark dirty um i was at the time very sex dirty now i'm more dark dirty i've learned a lot from adrian um yeah and we don't like the guys that are pushing and trying to be dirty
Starting point is 01:24:31 and ravi like the guys who are just like i can't help it i'm really sorry if you want to walk out You're not wrong. The odds I'm recording. You can check Ian out on his website. Ian Fidance. This phone is dying. I dropped it in some water that had poop in the toilet.
Starting point is 01:24:53 I put it on a roll of toilet paper on the back. Mistake. And then I heard it fall. And I dove for it. Guys, it wasn't good toilet water. Me on a stick the night before. Lots of cheap beer in there. Wiped it, wiped it, wiped it.
Starting point is 01:25:12 hand sanitizer wiped it off more little pieces of shit on the fucking towel which means it was on there worked for a few days then stopped it's going on and off i don't know long live the fucking motto g4 2024 uh his website is ianfidance.com for um dates and tickets you can go to punchup dot live slash ian finance also dispelled fadance yeah he's bye his instagram is ian ean E animal 69. E. Animal 69. Ian is a homosexual. But he fucks a higher level of woman than I ever did, which is what makes people hate gays in the first place. Stay in your lane. His podcast is a standard podcast that you guys all know. The old one is B and Ian with Jordan. He started that. He was a bigger comment than Jordan Jensen. Eventually, he was just being Ian. And then she was like, you know,
Starting point is 01:26:05 I need a little name in here too. And she goes, how about you being in him with Jordan? And she goes, can I get my full name? And he goes, no, you cannot. If my full name's not in it, your full name's not in it. And then eventually she got much, much bigger than him. She eclipsed him. And Eclipse is not a fat joke. She's not fat. She's just like nothing-bodied.
Starting point is 01:26:25 Ian personifies, I'm sorry, Jordan personifies a nothing body. She is the little brother you always had. When she puts on makeup, she looks trans. Anyway, eventually she got way bigger than Ian. I'm sure it tears them up. It probably really, really bothers him. and then she fought for the last name and she got it she goes I'll walk she did for a short time
Starting point is 01:26:45 that's Hollywood hardball you Jordan walked for a long time and now it's B and Ian with Jordan Jensen he's also got a new show at YMH called Ian Dew it's a show where he finds local tradesmen in the cities he's touring and learns how to do their jobs
Starting point is 01:27:00 I mean that's gotta be what's that called mansplaining I can do your job Ian Do you can find it on On his, where is this? On his YouTube account, right? God, it be his YouTube.

He's got four videos as of right now. This will come out in a couple weeks. As of right now, I haven't worn shoes in four days.
Starting point is 01:27:37 It's been pretty nice. Ian also was a solid comedian. You guys will really like him. He's high energy. We've traded gun before on stage. Ian, whatever happened to that clip, you should put it out. That was a fun, fun night.
Starting point is 01:27:52 Comedy seller. What's the problems I miss comedy? Actually, I just have fond memories of it. It's pretty sad, actually. I have no missing of this at all. By the way, subscribe wherever we're watching it, listen. Leave a comment, guys, for the algorithm. You can start leaving comments for the algorithm?
Starting point is 01:28:06 Maybe some insult, you know, from the show. So, how about for this one? I think it should be called Jordan Jensen with being Ian. Jordan Jensen discovers how to be. I don't know. I could have done better there. That was on me. Ian's on the road.
Starting point is 01:28:26 What better chance to see him do stand-up comedy than the road? Yeah, he's at the comedy cell all the time and shit like that. But if you want to see him do a full fucking hour, probably 48 minutes. Head over to punchup. Live slash Ian, Fidance, or Fidance. Again, he's bisexual. He's by. Where he'll be in.
Starting point is 01:28:47 Ballmore, Maryland. Oh, my home stay at the Port Comedy Club this weekend. February 7th to 28th, 27th and 28th. Two shows each night.

These, okay, first of all, Ian, you got to say when you're opening for somebody. You're at the Mayo Civic Center, March 13th. Okay, sure, you could do it. March 15th in Madison, Wisconsin, you're at the Alliance Energy Center. Now, is that an opening date, buddy? Should say with somebody.
Starting point is 01:29:39 I'm going to go buy tickets. But first of all, let me point this out, Ian, about your website. This is, Ari is autistic about websites. Nobody has a worse website than Ari Maddie, by the way. I mean, built clearly by a Cold War survivor. March 15th is in Madison, Wisconsin. March 15th is in Fargo to North Dakota. How can they be in both those places?
Starting point is 01:30:01 How can they be in both of those? And then March 20th, Kansas City, Missouri, the Funny Bone. That's his date. I believe that's his date. April and Manchester, Connecticut, and Calgary at the laugh shop, wrong room. should be at Yuck Yox. Shout out Yucks.
Starting point is 01:30:15 Shout out Yucks. Shout out Scott. But still go see him. Point Pleasant and Uncle Vinny's in May, Albany, in May, Syracuse in June, and Greenville, South Carolina. Greenville, Greenville, Greenville, Greenville, Richmond, Virginia, Richmond.
Starting point is 01:30:30 Saratoga Springs, New York. Philadelphia at Helium. That's a great club. Doing the main room. Congratulations. And then Miami, Florida, Cozumel, Mexico. Burke Kreischer's fully loaded cruise.
Starting point is 01:30:46 Oh, dude. Ian, you're not going to like the kind of cruise. It's not the kind of cruise your people want. What your people want, Ian, is also known as a priest cruise where it's mostly dudes. That's what you want. Where international waters can't judge you. God can't even reach you. Now let's go back to that date before.
Starting point is 01:31:07 Let's see who the fuck he's opening for in March at the Alliance. Hey, maybe he got so much bigger than I. I remember that I owe an apology and I'm willing to apologize. I'm a guy who apologizes when I'm wrong. I should not have dose Burke Kreischer. Kobe D. Treat ruled and Bobby Lee had to had to be shown. Madison Wisconsin, the Alliance Energy Center. Buy tickets.
Starting point is 01:31:35 Let's see. Let's see. Okay. Oh. Well, what do we have here? It must be a misprint. It says Burke Kreischer. Wow, it says Burke Chryser.
Starting point is 01:31:48 What do you mean? But I thought it was a, I thought it was an Indian finance date. Burk crash has $35 tickets. Standard emission, row age, back row. But good for you, Bert. 3578. And now let's see what Ticketmaster does when you get two of them. 71, upper level seats, 71.56.
Starting point is 01:32:08 That's what it should be. Confirming availability. Let's get two tickets. Oh, do they make a law saying you have to show? I got to wrap this up. Have to show the actual price now? Let's see. No, I don't have an account.
Starting point is 01:32:25 What? If you have an account where a problem to create one. Ah, damn it. Oh, so they can get my shit. Fuck off. Well, Bert, you just lost the sale. I'm sorry. Ian, you just lost the sale.
Starting point is 01:32:37 So now, let's go back again. Do you think Ian is in another? My website, Ian Finance. Let's go. Fargo, North Dakota, March 15th. Let's see what that one. It's at the Shields Arena. Again, another great Ian Finance built. Well, this says March 14th. Bert, hey, can someone talk to Bert real quick? Bert, I have a couple words for you.
Starting point is 01:33:09 Number one, your shoe, the Burke Crusher Flip Flop. I can't speak for the slide, but the Burr Crutch Flip Lop is the most comfortable flip-lop I've ever worn. Ever, easily, ever. I've taken it to so many countries now. I mean, probably nearing on 20. And it's served me well everywhere. Shouldn't get it wet. $45 is the lowest one there.
Starting point is 01:33:34 It's an arena. I'll allow it. But, Bert, I got a message for you. Your openers. Not pulling their weight. Now, you have your guy in finance taking credit for your show, your hard work. He never got it to an arena. An arena?
Starting point is 01:33:50 Do you know who plays at the fucking... Where is this? Shields Arena. I actually don't. I actually don't know who plays there. I actually never heard of it. I don't know why they would have an arena there. All events.
Starting point is 01:34:08 Fargo First Force versus Waterloo Blackhawks. What is it, minor league hockey? The Madison Capitals. Oh, it's the Fargo Force. Is this minor league hockey? Anyway, Bert, he's not doing his job. He's telling him the wrong dates. People are going to show up on the wrong dates.
Starting point is 01:34:28 Hey, I didn't get tickets. Ian, I trusted Ian. He told me. Now, Bert, let me ask you a question. Because I know you've taken guys on the road who've just been great with a pit barbecue. And that's great because they added something to the tour. Absolutely. Now, if you're bringing Ian, bringing Ian to get lots of fucking hot, horny dudes,
Starting point is 01:34:50 then I take it back. And I'd have to apologize. Ian is the best at corralling hot, horny, lubed up, and also possibly not lobed up. If that's what you want, if you want a not lubed up dude, Listen, Ian's not about problems. Ian's about solutions. And he'll get you a not lubed up dude. It's going to be hard to find because these dudes love to loob.
Starting point is 01:35:13 Guys, I mean, what am I doing here at this point?
