I have an exciting guest every week Tell me about some wild or terrible place across the globe These have been really fun so far, Daniel My guest today is Dan St. Germain Thank you for having me, Ari, as always Yeah, I don't really know if you're a good traveler or not Some people like Sam Marill was like, I'd never do it, it're a good traveler or not some people I like Samaril was like it was like I'd never do It's my first time other people like do constantly where you at in the travel world like right now

Just generally over you're one of the few comedians who still likes to travel I think yeah I think that like just because I mean like yeah, I want to go like there's some places I still want to go to like I want to go to Japan I've never been to Japan But like for the most part, I think it's like, after you've gone to Grand Rapids four times, you just wanna stay home. You know?

So, I mean, right now, it's like, I'm more of like, I like driving four hours upstate, like staying in a cabin, Catskills, something like that. Something where it's like, the drive is part of it for me. I just fucking hate flying. Flying does something. But that's all I'm doing now.

And then someone will be like, we have a destination wedding. You're like, fuck you. I'm gone 28 weeks a year. I don't wanna go at 29. What's the most inconvenient destination wedding you've gone to? I just don't go.

Yeah. Really, they're all inconvenient. Even if it's like an hour drive Soder I'm like went to like Guatemala or some show for Dan Sovereign one of his good friends I was like that is a lot that's a lot yeah I guess if you're like super rich it's fine because it's just like oh that's just like a weekend take off from evicting evicting poor people for a little bit if I'm like throwing yeah, yeah. If I'm throwing coins out of a carriage, it's fine.

Yeah, it's like, we'll take the private jet there. I'm like, oh well, the party starts really at the parking lot. Yeah, then every day is amazing. It's already a big hit. Yeah, if you're a private jet, you're not even seeing the new, you're just seeing, you're just being rich at a different geographical page.

I know everyone's summering in Europe anyway. Why don't we all meet up in Malta? Yeah. It's like rich people don't even get, it's like when they go to like a Beezer or something, they're just on the yacht the whole time. They never actually set foot. They really have the chefs that are there. It is weird. Lewis does that with Jamaica. It goes to like private resorts. He starts his clock and it's like, but you really go to Jamaica.

He just wants to an all inclusive. He's that's like, he does like blue collar Epstein Island, I guess. He's like, no, they're all willing. They're 12, but they're willing. Let me reset this. Set, there we go, start. So where are we going today? Where do you want to tell me?

So every week I do what? Dublin, Ireland, Ari. I was there for five months. Five months? Yeah. First of all, that's awesome. It was cool. I could have, you can do it in a week.

That's kind of like what I realized about Dublin. It's just slow moving. It is. It's basically like New York with less shit. That's what Dublin is. But you can do it in a week. I mean, the reason you go to Europe is I traveled to a bunch of other places while I was there,

which was a blast. I mean, I had a fun time, but it's not like, I mean, wow. It's not that, you know, it's not like, you're not like shitting in a hole, you know what I mean, or like, Well, European travel's different than that, for sure. Yeah, for sure, reading like ancient Sanskrit

or something like that. But it was a really fun trip and I saw a lot and it was like an interesting time to be abroad because it was right after we invaded Iraq so everybody fucking hated us. I went to this. Going green for this. Oh shit, I was already wearing green.

Fuck, that was an oversight. No, almost. This is definitely, this is definitely like somebody somebody's been through a brain injury shirt. Mas Verde Okay, wait, so what was right after a rock it was right after a rock So everybody was like it was like ultimate ugly American and where I was like University College Dublin It's kind of like oh you went school there? Yeah, it was like Retard Trinity. So it's like you're basically like, it's like saying I'm going to New York City,

but I'm staying in the Bronx. Yeah, I'm pretty right, right. There was like a 30 minute bus ride into Dublin, and we were kind of outside on this campus. I was like staying with this French girl who was like kind of there to learn English, and she ended up, because I was just like 20 years old, just, I was just drunk constantly. So like when I was there with her, you know, she had just gotten married and decided to go abroad

to like learn English. And she was like with me and I was just like a fucking pig. Like when I, what were you fucking? Absolutely not. Like there's not, there's, she would rather fuck the Fuhrer than me. Like there's not there's she would rather fuck the furor that the me like by the end of the like she hated me so much by the end of this trip. By the end of this trip, she had left a list of the psychological damage that I'd caused her because I would get drunk and I would eat cubes of her cheese, you know, these French cheese when I was at home. She hated me. So I'm sorry if you're listening to this. What is it about a roommate where you're like, I'm gonna eat some of their leftovers?

It's that one decision and it's irreverentable. Well, especially if you're like, I mean, if you're just like 20 in, you're just like, I don't care. I'm just gonna do whatever. And you're 20 years old. Like now I wouldn't do it, but I was like an animal. This was 20 years ago.

Just move stuff around to make it look like you didn't take it. But then you keep going back for more. And then eventually they're like, hey, did you take all but one of my pieces of General Tso's? No, but only two at a time for three days. Yeah, and it would be like that, and I would use her shampoo and shit.

And I think one time she just like, I felt her step, I passed out just with tighty whities on in front of the fridge, and I felt her stepping around me. I was a body in a crime scene, so it was a lot of that shit. But you know. So you were in school there? I was, I mean kinda, I went to school,

I went to school for history and I wanted to be a playwright then, so I was doing a lot of Irish literature class, but I didn't go to, I did not go to, the history classes I wanted to be like a playwright then, so I was doing a lot of Irish literature class, but I didn't go to, I did not go to, the history classes I went to, some of the history classes were the best history classes I've ever had. I went with this guy named,

there's this guy named Declan Downey who taught me Japanese history there, and he was constantly trying to poke the bear because I was American, so he'd be like, next week we're talking about the hero of Pearl Harbor, General Yamamoto. You know, like, he would always try to get like a rise out of me, but I thought he was great.

He was like a Stewie from Family Guy. Like, you can Google him now, and he looks like a grown up Stewie from Family Guy. It's so funny when people try to stick it in the face of Americans, but the one thing they don't realize about us is that almost none of us actually care about America or the history. Yeah, nobody cares.

Like, we're doing well. Especially like ones who are traveling, who it's like obviously we're critical of the government. Right, right, right. Those are the coolest ones. We don't wanna stay in the government right now. Yeah. You know, so I had this great Australian social history

teacher that was there who I ended up like dead-seeing on mushrooms in Amsterdam like a couple months later. Like. Dead-seeing, what'd you say? Oh no, then seeing. I went to the Van Gogh Museum and I was with my friend, we were tripping on Mushroom, the fucking normal American,

let's go to the Van Gogh, let's go see what's on the coffee cups. And we get there and this guy was just like, I was like, oh hi Dan, and I was like, oh hey, this is my friend Sean. And my friend was tripping so much balls, he just laughed at this guy's face and ran away, and then I had this awkward moment

with this professor and his kid. But yeah, I went all the way, I went all around Ireland, Belfast and Galway, and Galway was definitely my favorite because that's the stuff that like, you know. I mean, it's just like the Cliffs of Moor, it's just beautiful. Cliffs of Moor were so fucking great. You went there, right?

It looks like God bit into the earth. It's just like, I should look this up for people, but it's just like you just wander and wander. You can do it in like 30 minutes, but you just sit and walk. Yeah, yeah. It rules. Yeah, I had a show in Dublin,

and I was like, well, let me land in, is it Galway out there? It's Galway, it's Western Ireland. And then I just like, let me go there and drive back. It's gorgeous. Yeah, look at this shit. That and Giant's Causeway, which is near Belfast, or I think like the prettiest place.

That's where you wanna go. Like if you're gonna go to Ireland, look at this shit. you wanna go. I mean, wild. And you're gonna go to Ireland, you wanna go. I mean, wild. And you can walk on this thing, right? Yeah. Yeah. And the wind is insane. Well, you see crosses there too

of people that got too close. And you see it's really an inch away over. Yeah, it's just the same drug people that you would see on the Jersey turnpike with the crosses, but because it's here, it's beautiful. Yeah. I wonder if it looked like right here. You see this?

Yeah. Like somebody probably at one point fell off that slash there, and then they're like, well, we're not getting you. Of course not. You're in between. That's like Everest, right? Oh yeah, the dead bodies that are up there.

God, it's fucking gorgeous. Look at this fucking tool. It is gorgeous. I think that's why I like. I'm just thinking. No, I'm just thinking. I at this fucking tool. It is gorgeous. I think that's why like. I'm just thinking. No, I'm just thinking. I didn't ask anybody to take this picture. Just thinking about stuff.

You know what's so funny? Because this is so beautiful, it's like you go there and you like meet, oh, you meet white trash there, but because it's so beautiful, it's like we just like forget about it. It's not like, it's like, it's the same type of people that were from Arkansas,

but they're just there. But because they don't have this amazing scenic beauty. But yeah, I was in Galway for a weekend. I was like, the whole fucking trip, I was just, I was hammered and I was so, I was like 20. You were drinking heavy then. I was, yeah. You were boozing when you boozed.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I was like, all I know is I just got, like you don't wanna go to Ireland and get in a political, like this is not a place you wanna do that in. There's like actual repercussions for it. You know? What do you mean, like what?

Politics are dangerous in Ireland. You know, even though I went like in 2001 or 2002 when the EU, when Ireland was like really rich, politics is still, there's still remnants of a sectarian war there. So like I was, oh I remember, I don't know, we were talking about, we were arguing about Iraq and I was like, I was probably criticizing the US

because I was far more liberal then than I was now. All I know is I was so hammered that jump cut to like me 10 minutes later in the argument and these dudes were surrounding me and just screaming, IRE, IRE! And I was so drunk I just went, let's just settle down a little bit. You know what I mean?

I was like, come on guys, let's have a chill pill. You know? I was like acting like I was on Parrot Head in Key West and all these guys were about to like, you know, throw me into the sea with the British. I already loves Palestine. They really relate to them. They love Palestine. They're like, that's our struggle.

They love Palestine. I think that like, you know, I think that they would probably run into some problems later on in the line, you know, I think that they would probably run into some problems later on in the line, you know what I mean? But as far as like, you know, where they are. Both against abortion. Both, well yeah, I mean, it's true. Both heavily against abortion, they relate on that level.

It took a while for Ireland to come around to any sort of birth control. Yeah, long term runners up, you got to relate on that level. Long term runners up. It is kind of funny, like just like the Irish pride, it's like we're not gonna be involved in World War II, and you're like, well that was the one everyone wanted to be involved in. That was the one everyone wanted to go against, right?

No, it was a thing, yeah. But yeah, there was definitely, it was weird, there was a weird feeling in Dublin at the time because there's always this like acerbic, downtrodden, I think Irish thing where they were economically flourishing at the time but they still didn't believe it because they had been through so much shit.

I would be on the bus with an old Irish lady and she would just be like, yeah, it's gonna end at any moment, It's gonna end. None of them could believe that this was, that things were going well at all. That's how comedy was until like three years ago. Yeah. They were like, this is no way it's gonna last.

Yeah, well now you have to be like a fucking influencer. Yeah, exactly. Now it's like, now comedy's become the new Trump shoes. That's really what comedy is. Shoes are not good looking. But yeah, now it's, yeah, now it's, yeah, this probably changed the most. I mean, I don't wanna get into like a comedy thing,

but self-esteem is now important in comedy. It's so crazy. It was so uncool. It's never been a thing. You leaned into uncoolness, and then it's like, no, no, be cool. Very cool. Ugh.

You know? But Danny Brown says comedy's going through a brag phase. It's true. Like, a raptid. Yeah. Is always in a brag phase. And then you have like high level, like you know, like, arrest development

or like most death or something. They're just like, we're not trying to brag. We're trying to make statements. We're just trying to make funny shit. But most of them was like, look at my fucking awesome jeans. Look at how many cars I drive. Well you'll see comedians now, and not even like,

cause like when we're talking, you think like we're talking about like somebody like Schultz who's like got, you know, the bravado thing, but I'm talking about like people that are like, people you wouldn't even think. At every level. Like people are like, there's guys that like, like there's one guy who's in the middle, and he was like posting a picture,

I won't say his name, but he was like tagging the jacket he was in and the type of shoes it was. I was like, no one gives a fuck, man. No one gives a fuck, that fake is making shit, it's like gross. It's very gross. It should be poor, that's cooler. Now you're successful and you still dress like shit art.

Thank you, yeah, these pants I've had since before I was successful. That's never changed. Yeah, These pants I've had since before I was successful. That's never changed. Yeah, this shirt I've had since this was on Woot.com. Special $10 deal a day. This is definitely like a horse girl shirt. Like a girl's, you know, the big girl is in the

Let's get back to the episode. Thank you Dan. Let's get back to Ireland. Okay, so you're in Dublin for five months. Five months, yeah, with my buddy Phil and Rachel and I made a lot of friends there. You made friends there. We went for my college, but I made a lot of friends there. They all decided to go too, or you made friends there? We went for my college, but I made a bunch of friends there too.

I met this guy, John, who was like the smartest dude I've ever met in my entire life, and he was about to go to the priesthood, but then he decided he was an atheist and a vegan. Oh, you can't go to the priesthood after that. And he like, it was this crazy thing where like, people in his life kept dying the whole time, and he kept relating it to the number seven,

so every time I saw him, because seven's a big deal in the Bible, so it'd just be talking about, seven, the seventh person! You know? So we didn't get laid a lot, that's what I'm trying to say. But yeah, we've met a bunch of people there,

and it was like, because in my head I'm like, did I do anything? And then I wrote three pages worth of shit, I was like, oh I did, I did do a lot when I was like, cause in my head I'm like, did I do anything? And then I wrote like three pages worth of shit. I was like, oh I did, I did do a lot when I was there and I saw a lot when I was there. But it definitely is like, I think I went to class twice for like, and I still got out with like C's or something. Where'd you go normally?

This like small school in Indiana, University of Evansville. My dad was like kind of like a big playwright there and I wanted to be a playwright. He went there? Yeah. school in Indiana, University of Evansville. My dad was like kind of like a big playwright there and I wanted to be a playwright. He went there? Yeah, like he, his shows got done there a lot. And like it was like a big theater, so like Rami Malek, the guy who was like one for Queen

or whatever he like was a, he was in like stuff that I wrote and stuff like that. Like so. He won an award for that fucking shit box movie? He won the Oscar, dude. No way. I haven't seen it. Is it bad?

To be fair, I've watched on someone else's screen on the plane. On a plane. I feel like that's the way to watch that movie. That is the way to watch, but also you can tell when something's made for TV level. Yeah. As soon as in the commercial when they go like, when he's like, wait, say that again?

And it's just like one of the lines from his well-known song. It's like, I'm out, I? And it's just like one of the lines from his well-known song. It's like, I'm out, I'm out. Is this the real life? Yeah, wait, shot a moose? Shot a moose? Like, you see him see a fat bottom girl? Yeah, yeah, exactly.

It's like so dumb. And then I'm like, I'm out. That Bob Marley thing looks the same. That's apparently bad. It looks like it. It's so funny, because I saw him at the cellar, and I was like, everyone thinks that rich people are going to help you out, or famous people

are going to help you out. And I remember I had just written a thriller, like I'd really wanted, like a couple years ago, I stopped doing comedy to just write thrillers, and I wanted him to be in it. So I got him free tickets to the cellar, and I sent him my thriller. He never got back, and I was like,

oh, this is what happens. It's actually the people who are not doing well helping the rich people out, the famous people out, rather than, it's like, they're just getting free shit. They're just going through this magical life and ignoring emails. Yeah. They'll follow up. Yeah, they'll follow up.

But yeah, I was out there and I was like, I did read a lot, but I don't think I wrote a fucking thing. I was like, oh, I was out there and I was like, I did read a lot, but I don't think I wrote a fucking thing. I was like, I'm gonna write there, I'm gonna write the great American play while I'm out there. And... It's an interesting thing when you go travel,

when you go somewhere to get settled and get into a groove of work where you're like, oh, I can also just drink every day. Like, the first day you're there, you're like, let me just have a drink, I'm in Ireland. Do you write a lot of material when you're traveling? Zero. Then I come home and I start to process it. Right. But even when I want like, I drink every day. Like, the first day you're there, you're like, let me just have a drink. I'm in Ireland. Do you write a lot of material when you're traveling? Zero. Then I come home and I start to process it.

Right. But like, even when I want to, I think in four months in Southeast Asia, I wrote like a premise of one joke. Really? Yeah. So nothing. But you're pretty prolific,

so when you come back, it just flows out. It then comes, yeah. After that. Yeah, well, it's like you went fallow, so then it's like, oh no, you can like start, like it can go any direction in your mind. But yeah, it's just like, if I'm not on stage, my brain has no reason to give me a joke.

Stand-up is very tough to write in that sense. You have to be doing it. Yeah, I have to be ready to fail if not for these stuff. You have to go in with a gun to your head. That's what Shane Gillis is doing right now, well known Irish comic, he's hosting us. And I was like, I gotta get this fucking monologue out. He was like, well, you got some pressure, you gotta week.

He didn't come in with any idea what he wanted to do? I think he wants to just do stand up. Right, he wants to do the weird thing. And not try to do any weird thing. Like Nate Hat did that, but Nate, he's already so clean. Not gonna come out like Tress as a Chinese New Year dragon. Right, he's so clean already. He goes, I don't have to change anything in my standup.

And everyone else does. Yeah, it's great. Except for that, we say, oh, that's easy, but it's like the hardest thing. What he's doing is the hardest thing. What Nate's doing is the hardest thing to do. To go clean. Yeah. It is very difficult.

Unless you're getting the groove, then it's fine. Or you normally think like that. Because I'm like, Ryan Hamilton's queen, but when I'm around Ryan Hamilton, he's a great guy, he's not cursing a lot. So I think he's already funny, just in that clean way. I can't do it. I can't do it.

All my jokes are just saying, fuck you to some character. Yeah, there's cum on every one of my jokes. I love when you get halfway through a joke. And you're like, no, this is clean. You're doing some clean thing. And then like halfway through, you're like, you realize what the next joke, the direction, you're like, damn it, oh, it's right to cum.

Oh, I just didn't think there was any cursing. I just came. He just like looked down at you, like actively cumming while you're telling a joke. Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, splooge in someone's face, painting them. I just thought it was paint. So what'd you do? how'd you find Ireland?

Like what'd you like about it? Well, I mean, I was a big, like I'm a huge Irish playwright. You know, like, I mean, St. Germain is Irish, right? No, that's French. Oh, St. Germain. But I mean, I do, I am Irish, yeah.

I mean, I'm like a white mutt, you know? Yeah. I think most of my winning edge is Irish and French, Canadian. It's just more of like a white orgy. But I loved American Irish player, it's like Eugene O'Neill, but then I would also, I would love like Brian Friel and fucking, there's just a bunch of guys that I was really into.

And so that's kind of what got me into it. And I love that, I kind of like the history aspect of it, but when you get there, it's still mostly drinking. Like the whole time, and you think you get there that everyone else is gonna be as hammered as you are, but that's not At all what happens like I remember I passed out on campus outside New york's next to like a river or a creek. It was a creek It wasn't a river and like one of the ra's is irish guy and he picks me up and he gave me like a coming to jesus

Mom, he goes, you know, we come here to learn We come here to learn. We come here to learn. And then so I was like oh I'm sorry, whatever. That night I went to my friend's place. He's in a university there. And I pissed, I pissed his couch like terribly. And the next day I had to wake up and go tell the, I didn't realize he was the same RA.

So after he had saved me, I had to come down and be like, hey, I pissed this couch, can you switch it out? And it was just, it was this amazing luck where they were switching out couches that day. Like they had like the couch guy there, so I didn't even have to pay for it. But it was, you know, it was beyond, beyond humiliating.

But yeah, we were like, we hung out with some Irish people, the Irish guys did, but like, they didn't really wanna hang we were like, we hung out with some Irish people, the Irish guys did, but like they didn't really wanna hang out. Like, you know. It's like Amsterdam and for like the red light and just for the weed, it's like, yeah, we have the legal weed, but only tourists are doing it all day every day.

We have the legal prostitution. It's like, yeah, I go there twice a year. But we're all like, let's go. Yeah, it's like, also it's like, yeah, it's like the societies that use drugs all the time are the ones that are like, it's like, also it's like, yeah, it's like the societies that use drugs all the time are the ones that are like, it's like really poor parts in Russia that are doing Crocodile.

Crocodile, Crocodile's my favorite drugs. Have you ever done it? No, but just the research, have you? Crazy, hell no. Oh yeah, it's met squared. Yeah, and the reason they call it is because your skin actually turns into a crocodile. Goes away, They have exposed bone

If you do this again, you'll die. And then his friends from the corner came to visit him. Like, hey, we got some, and then the one guy is like, hey, no, he said he'd die if he does this again. And the guy was like, get out, man. Like, I mean, this path is already set. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's where this leads. Have you seen Life and Crime, that HBO series?

I don't really particularly like hash. It just doesn't really affect me. What? Yeah, I don't like, I don't get the, maybe I was getting bad hash, you know, because I was like, you know, 20. Yeah.

What I'm selling is the Cha-ching sound. Well I bought a boatload for what I thought was a cheap price and it was, but I've got way too many and now I've got to unload them. So when you look for Cha-ching, look no further than AriShafeer.com. I've got so

many I gotta get rid of them and I was so overloaded that I can't I've lost my friends over I spent so much time unloading these cha-chings, put one in, put one in, every time I say one, just put one in!

I was in love with this one Irish chick the entire time I was there.

I never made it happen. Oh, damn it. Because she was very Catholic, you know, and she had a boyfriend and I was too hungover to make a move. I ended up like hooking up with some girl called herself Party Girl in Belfast. It was the ultimate. But I hung out with this one guy Colin there a lot. He was all right. It was one of these things where a lot of the Irish guys I feel like that were hanging out with Americans were because the Irish guys

didn't want to hang out with them. You know, it was like, you know, the kids who make like friends with the foreign exchange students here, but he was all right, he was cool. It was, I remember one night we had gotten really drunk, we all got drunk and he had disappeared, and then the next day he came in, and he's like, how was your night? And he's like, I was assaulted by a woman, by a monster of a woman. it's like it's so funny

I guess it's like if it was like a girl we'd be like, are you okay? But what guy like ah, she got you she got you That was our takeaway What were you wearing it's like a Burton Tom at a fat shaming Was like nice. Let me get on board with that. You just can't do it to a chick. Yeah, so we would go out every weekend. So it was just all boozing. It was mostly all boozing, yeah.

But I was in Indiana, and there was a lot of boozing in Indiana, too. And that was like, I mean, boozing in Indiana, I would wager to say, is way worse than Ireland's. Because at least like Ireland, it's beautiful. And there's like, so I'm like, oh, I'll go to the Francis Bacon exhibition, opposed to Indiana, where you're like,

I'll go to the Aces basketball tournament. You know, like, I'll take out a guitar center and, you know, drink a new congac. Did you come under the drinking age? Did you get to a new legal when you got there? Were you under 21? 18 is, you know. How old were you when?

I was 20. Oh, so you became legal when you went there? I became, no, I didn't become legal until a year later. No, no, no, I'm saying as soon as you got there, you were now legally allowed to drink for the first time. I was legal, yeah, so I could do, yeah. I could do whatever. That's a cool trick where you're like,

oh, no fake ID here, no anything, it's just fine. Yeah, and everyone, I mean, we all got here, no anything, it's just fine. Yeah, and everyone, I mean we all got shit cans the entire time that we were there. It was totally the ugly American thing. I remember one night I somehow split my hand open and my friends had to find me because I was like, they found the blood from my hand throughout the village we were in.

They were like, almost like years ago, they were like, finding spots because I was like trying to like buzz their apartments and they finally found me at this one girl's place who I wasn't fucking, I was passed out on her couch and she was like singing her original acoustic songs at me. And they had to like, yeah, which is way worse. They were like, it's way worse to see some girl trying to be like John Mayer in front of you. But yeah, I mean, I was just that whole the whole time I was there, man, I was like, I

remember I got blacked out once and then I woke up in front of like a kebab place and I had a cup and like people were actively throwing euros and change into the cup. Like they thought I was I was like destitute, you know. But you know, fun trip. I don't know, you know, would I go again? I guess I would do it for stand up, but I don't think I would go out of my way actively to be like I'm gonna go. Did you mostly stay in Dublin?

Or did you go to Belfast? I went to Galway, I went to Belfast. Is Belfast way different? Belfast is really interesting. Belfast is one of the more interesting places I've been to. Because when we got there, originally we got sat down, it was like a school thing, right? So it was like a bunch of us in a room

with somebody who was like, they were talking about the Troubles, right? Which is, you know, the Catholics was the Protestants there. And there was someone there who was like. There was a full house reboot. We, there was somebody there that was like. There was a full house reboot. There was somebody there that was like way more like, way, you know, I wouldn't say even way more, but like they were more influenced by,

they were more Protestant leading, and then the other one was more Catholic leading. One was more Ulster Unionist side, one was more IRA side. But like, I remember they were talking about it, and they were so fucking tired. It was the first time I've seen an effects of civil war where it's like they were like,

even at the end when they asked, well what side do you believe in? He goes, I believe, they're like, I tend to agree more with the Catholics, but also it doesn't matter. They kinda like, because they had just been beaten down at that point. And that point of the government, too,

there was a lot of Sinn Fein. There was a lot of former IRA elements that were now becoming kind of legit and going into more of actually part of the political process. So there was a lot of reconciliation from it. But you would go through Belfast, and they still had all the murals there. So on the walls, there would be the Ulster Unionist,

the IRA murals, and they were gorgeous, but it was also kind of foreboding and scary. Belfast, I remember I didn't have any, I did not have any political conversation at Belfast. I knew to shut the fuck up there. That seems great. Yeah, that was one of those where I was like, this seems like I should just be talking

about Michael Jordan or Prince Diana or some. My buddy, Paul Curie, is a comic? No, not Prince Diana, what? This guy, Paul Curie, is a comic from Belfast, and he's also a puppeteer, and he said that when he was a young puppeteer, Frank Oz went there, and they're trying to get the Muppets, and they would go really to war-torn places.

They thought it was a way to help war-torn places recuperate, you know? Yeah, puppets. Yeah, well just like you can speak out politically, you can say something without having a human, I don't know, representative of it. But yeah, he goes, yeah, of course I'm gonna go to Belfast. It's still in the throes of it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I would be, that would be so funny to be like, you're then taken away by the IRA, and you're like, oh, it's the puppet! It's the puppet, it's the puppet! It's scooches. It's scooches, scooches. Scooches had all these opinions.

I've been telling not to! You guys did the act, I say scooches! You're on a line! I was very clear. I wasn't thinking like Jeff Dunham, political prisoner. You know? Can I get some more girl? very clear. I wasn't thinking like Jeff Dunham political prisoner. But yeah, it was, it was pretty wide. I hadn't really thought about it, but I just seen Danny Day-Lewis in the name of the father, like recently.

I'd never seen that movie. It's like one of the greatest. I love when he walks out when he gets free and he just walks. Yeah. And then where you're going? It's like, I'm done. Get off me. Get off me. And he just walks right outside, he's free finally. I watch that, I'm like, American actors will never be as good, like when you see him. No, we're too busy killing it socially and professionally. Yeah, yeah, we're too busy, yeah, dropping.

Although like he's, yeah, I saw that, and that made me kind of like nostalgic for Ireland when I was there. But I would also like, I went to Italy when I was there. I went to Amsterdam, I went to Brussels to Brussels well that's nice too you can just go anywhere right Ryanair is like super cheap right but you have to check in what is he have to check on online they don't let you check in like there are the other 30 bucks yeah it's like every every flight spirit all right you

know what surprised you about Irish people or like what did you notice about them um or was it different city to city? I mean, there's definitely like, uh, you know, there's definitely, uh, uh, cards close to the chest, you know, element there. Um, you know, that, that there isn't here. There's no like, uh, and I think if that's just because you've been, you know, like you're so much more invested in your own history than here in America where everyone's like, I feel like in America it's like we all came from somewhere else.

So there's like a charlatan sort of like, you're selling something that's not real, you know, opposed to like when you're actually living in a place and you've been there and your family's been there for generations and generations and generations. And you know, you're kind of steeped in this history, so there's no like errors about it.

I definitely noticed that. But Dublin itself is like, there's a lot of similarities to New York City. You know, like it's not as, you know, like there's definitely like, like there's definitely parts of Dublin where you're like, okay, you like design this because this is what you think tourists think Ireland is.

Yeah. Rather than this being actually Ireland. There's a lot of places where like, this is what we think you think we are. Yeah. In a lot of cities, Times Square is that. Yeah. We think, we think middle America thinks New York is here.

Yeah, like when you, yeah, like when you see, like when you go down and you see like somebody from, you know, Iraq with like a, you know, with like a World Trade Center shirt. You know, they just look like that. They're just like, what do you want? We wanted to be there. But the one thing that was cool about it is,

I do think they like theater and art. They do like, they're more blue collar about it. It's an actual job, you know, rather than here. It's like when you make the choice to be like a writer or a comic here, it's almost like, either unless you're super successful, then you're, yeah, unless you're supported by your parents, you become, or you become super successful,

but there's not like that like working man's, you know, writer thing. And there, you know, there's aspects of like the government that'll help like fund you and, you know, it's seen as more of like a real thing rather than that is weird out there and the UK We're like they'll pay you to make fun of them The government will like well, yeah give me money if you're a sketch show you're gonna hit on us Yeah, by the way speaking of theater you got a new special out right now. Yeah, you too, baby

It's nice. What is it called dance? Dance fatty dance dance fatty dance Talk about you, Juniel, but there's no high art in the special. Please come. Yeah, don't get turned off by his knowledge of playwrights. Please don't. He doesn't use that. Don't go into like, I'm not going to talk about Ipsen during it or something. Dance Fatty Dance. Dance Fatty Dance. Oh, that's way worse. Yeah. Dance Fatty Dance. Dan is one of the great comics of New York. You guys will love that, for sure. Yeah, check it out, man. Dan's Fatty.

Dan's Fatty Dance, Dan's Fatty Dance. Where'd you do it? Old Man Hustle, Brooklyn Comic. I don't even know what to call it, because it's like the name. But Old Man Hustle, it's Ed's Club there, and it's a great room. I mean, we packed it in in and shout out to Sam Black,

who helped me fill it. Oh nice. Complete for free too, so thank you Sam. She is a favor, because I can't, you know, she's very good, I can't afford it otherwise. Yeah, she costs a lot. Yeah, she was amazing. Congratulations.

Thank you buddy. What special is this for you? This is actually, I've done two other albums and I did a half hour on Comedy Central, but this is like my first, I guess, because I did a thing where it was like, I was kind of in writers' rooms for a couple years and then I just never, I never put it on.

I was kind of waiting for that old model of like, oh yeah, you get to a certain level and then Comedy Central just pays you this much to do and then that just completely went away. It's so weird this next generation of like, I'm waiting and then the young generation was like, for what? Yeah, that's what I mean.

So there was people with less time than me who have more specials. But it'll be quality. Yeah, so. There'll be a premium on quality now and guys like you will be like, well let me show you what a good one is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're, it's a first like this year.

We're like, oh fuck, all these jokes kinda work, you know? Yeah. Opposed to, you know, like shit, I gotta get another 45 out. But I think I'm gonna do one, I think I'll do it, the next one I do will be a lot quicker, yeah. It'll be a lot faster now that like this model is, cause I mean, I had like one offer,

but it was like one of those things where they were gonna like pay a little bit. It was like offer, but it was one of those things where they were gonna pay a little bit. It was me, I was one of 20. And it was the same backdrop for everybody. And it was a one show thing. Fuck that, I wanted to be two. Yeah, I need to have two. Even though most of the specials from the first show,

I just need that psychological, that I have another one just in case. Well no, that's the thing, you have the comfort to be like, this isn't, it's not all resting on this right now. Yeah, for sure. Because also if you do want the first one so-so, you're like, fuck! Yeah.

This has to be good now. Yeah, yeah. If you're in Chapelle, will you do like 16? None of it matters. No, none of it matters. Like, I got my feelings crowd, whatever. That's too many too. That's probably too many.

I think it's like probably like two, two or three is like the sweet spot. If you go, you all should go to see Dan's special right now, Dan's Fatty Dance on YouTube.com. It's a website on the internet. I don't know if you heard of it. Leave him a comment. I think you disrespected the Irish people,

and I think everyone should leave a comment saying as such that your drunkenness was disrespectful. I was very disrespectful. Yeah, the academia. I was definitely disrespectful while I was there. I think the next time I went to Ireland it would just be apologizing for my first trip that I was there, I'm sorry.

You know there's probably like all these other amazing things about Ireland that I just completely missed because I was like out of it the whole time. But like, that's the thing.

It's like, everything that I did was like, even when I went to Amsterdam, it was like, I did like too much weed, I did too much, and then I like, I remember I went to the Red White District and I like went and I got a girl and I couldn't get it up and I just started holding her hand the whole time. You know? And she's just like, maybe you shouldn't drink so much.

And I left. I don't need advice from you, lady. I don't need advice. Damn it, you're right. I'm having a Wonder Years Winnie Cooper moment with this. Yeah, what? The end of Wonder Years, he finally, he fucks it, right? I think so, yeah. They kind moment. Yeah, what the end of Wonder Years? He finally he

fucks it, right? I think so. Yeah, they kind of like lay down and go past the screen. Yeah, there's like it'd be awesome if it was like too much build up couldn't get hard like if the real Wonder Years here, I'm like stumped like I don't know it

pans out and you just hear him stumble. I can't get it in. I can't get it in. Yeah, then like make it horrible. It's like fuck you bitch and he's like what the fuck we never we never talked to get it in. Yeah, and then like make it horrible. It's like, fuck you bitch. And he's like, what the fuck? We never talked again after that. You see like Paul masturbating in the corner. It's one of my biggest regrets.

Yeah, looking at the window like Legion of Spanx just staring at him trying to fuck. Paul fucked her. Yeah, it's never good. Your first time's never good. Even one of yours. What would you tell people to do in Ireland or Dublin specifically or anywhere?

One of the coolest things is Kilmainham Jail is like that's where all the, that's the coolest things is Kilmanyam Jail. That's where everyone from the Eastern Rebellion was there. The what rebellion? Kilmanyam Jail. It's like the big Irish rebellion in the 1900s. And James Connolly was there and shit like that. And it's kind of funny there, because they

have the most amazing tour guides who have this incredible scope of Irish history but you can tell like they make it like a little more depressing just to get an extra tip. You know what I mean? This is where James Connolly was and his cat had polio at the time. I could just add stuff that didn't happen. You can still hear the whippers of the children to this day. The theater there is great. I saw Play playboy of the Westworld with killing Murphy and then afterwards we like met him and he was super nice Yeah, he was for Peaky Blinders. Yeah, this is before Peaky, but this is like right after 28 days later But he was like still do it. Oh, that was him in 28 days later. Yeah, that was him in 28 days later

What's the worst part of that movie? It was a great movie. What's the one part? I don't know. It's when he suddenly becomes a superhero about three quarters in. But I kinda, yes, you're right. You know, it was all so real. Like him finding out about it as it was going, as we're finding out about it, that was great. But he's just a guy.

He wasn't a, and then. He kinda like, but most of the work is done by the zombie that he unleashes, right? I mean, I'm not allowed to try and defend that. Yeah, but setting it all up and getting them and then jumping up on the fucking ledges and decoying them out there. I'm not sure how it's trying to defend that. Yeah, but setting it all up and getting them then jumping up on the fucking ledges and decoying them out there. I'm like, you don't have training for,

they do, they're military. Yeah, and maybe like Danny Boyle was just so sick of working with heroin addicts. He's like, I'll just do. That was Danny Boyle's 20th year? Wow, what a movie that was. It's a great movie. I just saw, I rewatched 28 Weeks Later,

which isn't as good. It's not as good. It's still good. Cool idea though Where it's like someone is immune but carries it and then like the kiss that they're doing 28 months later I guess and what is that just like life's good now? Rebuilding yeah, it's like coven That was that weird about uh about one. What's it called Lane?

Cloverfield yeah, it's like really nothing to do with the movie. Just nothing at all except for the very end. I really liked that movie, but the very end of it. She comes out and she's like, oh. But they have like, the alien that they have is not the aliens from. Oh really? Yeah, I remember that.

I remember that. This is kind of bizarre where I was like, they kind of used like a different sort of monster, you know, but I thought the movie was really good. It was also John Goodman, I could see him eat pistachios for two hours. A prepper who's finally getting the chance. It's like a cool idea.

All those guys want that chance. I think that's like, most Americans don't fantasize about traveling, most Americans fantasize about not being allowed to go outside. Right, or using their gun to protect their family. Using their gun to protect their family. Well when someone breaks into your home, you're gonna be sorry you don't have it.

I'm like, you want someone to break into your home, don't you? Yeah, oh of course. You want that. Yeah, yeah of course. People prep their whole life for that. I mean, and then when your one kid kills your other kid, you get to be like, still though.

He wasn't prepped enough. Still, yeah, luckily it wasn't a black guy. Do you have a gun? You don't have a gun, right? I don't, well, you know. Oh yeah, besides that fucking hog right there. No, I don't have a gun. My brother, he worked in Luxembourg for a while

and everyone was like, how many guns do you have? And he's like, none. He's like, but you're in the minority. He goes, I'm not in the minority. But most people have a lot of guns. He's like, no! Nobody has a lot of guns. Like, shut up, you're lying. Yeah, I don't know.

I debate getting one, but in New York, it's really impossible. Yeah, really just gotta find someone who's throwing someone off the bridge and just jump in. Yeah. That's your only chance. Yeah, that's the only time. And you've been implicated in a murder.

It was like, no, no, it was another guy. I saw him, he's brown. He's another guy, man. He's brown, he's brown! You can like, no, no, it was another guy. I saw him, he was brown. He was another guy, man. He's brown, he's brown. I was like, you can't even say the brown, it's so fast. The type of brown, it's brown, brown, brown, brown. What was it gonna say?

What did you hate about Ireland? What didn't you like about it? I mean, I think that like, you know, when you're there for five months, you're like, have to, you know, you're going to, you can't get a, I did have a job, that's not true. I was a busboy there and I was with this guy, I was, me and this Chinese kid were like busboys

and the whole time he would yell at me about Taiwan and be like, give it back to us. I'm like, I don't. I don't have it. I don't have control over it. But I think like, I know, like when, like I do think that I could have like spent two weeks and I wish I had gone to other parts of Ireland more or I'd stayed, like I was stayed, I was in Galway or I was in Belfast.

I think that would have been a very different trip because like Dublin, it's like, it's a European metropolitan city. There's nothing that's like that, you know, it's like when you go to London too, it's the same thing when you're in London, you're like, well this is different, but it's also kind of New York. Kind of the same, yeah, I call them little America, Sydney, Melbourne, Dublin, they speak the same language,

they say McDonald's, and it's not like, well we got our first McDonald's, they just have them, they have Zara's and like whatever. It's just a slight difference, all Canada. You know, and it's like, it's different but not different enough. Yeah, like my sister would travel in age, she was in Vietnam for years, that's like real.

For years? Yeah, she was teaching English, that's like very different. Some of the traveling you've done is like, is very different. Where you can't you've done is like is you know very different but... You can't even read the symbols, the letters. Yeah. You know like even in like in like Asia or like or like I don't know Middle East where you're like I can't even read. In Paris I can't read I don't understand the language but I can

say Rue de Saint-Denis and they'll be like no but I know what you're talking about. Right right. So just a bush in a tree What's the place that you felt the most like alienated while you were there? I was gonna say my first time I mean it's like the first time I went to like Asia China But I had like a setup of like some like they brought me on a tour So they were like helping me through it. But man, once you go to rural on your own, it's like nothing.

But probably Myanmar, it was so, that was my first long trip solo solo. And I'm like, it's not set up. Were you in Myanmar, was that while the shit was happening there? But undercover more. So nobody knew about it. You weren't even allowed to go to the places

where it was happening. Where's Myanmar? Yeah. Up here, yeah. So you can go to Mandalay, all this region here, and this way you couldn't go. So you go to Yangon, you go this way up here. You had to go hug the coast, you went this way. They'd be like, you can't sleep here.

You're a foreigner, you can't sleep here. You gotta pass through. Oh wow, that's been kinda scary. It was scary, they escorted us once to our hotel room by gunpoint. They're like, where's your passport? It's like other than our hotel. Let's go get him. I'm like fuck. Yeah, but you're in that moment You're like they can just do because that was kind of the thing when I was like, you know

They're very smaller scale when those guys are like screaming IRA around you're like It's it's kind of like, you know Like in jujitsu and you're on like the mat with somebody who like knows what they're doing. You're like, I'm powerless Do whatever you like or like you see this person better like my personality. The tiger gets out of the cage, like, oh fuck, it's happening, please go the other way. Yeah, yeah. When they're screaming IRA at you, you're like,

oh, it's happening if they wanted to happen. Yeah, if they wanted to happen, no one's gonna investigate me. I did go back to Ireland years later because I was a model for Bushmills Whiskey with Sean Donnelly, Kevin McCaffrey, and Colin Dempsey. I was a model for Bushmills whiskey with Sean Donnelly Kevin McCaffrey and Colin Dempsey your model. Yeah, we were like we were we were a couple They did like normal guys is like Bushmills whiskey Yeah, I have a whole but like they only used ours for like Tel Aviv which was very bizarre

So like on Tel Aviv there's a giant picture of me what and the comics? Yeah, like I don't know where somebody had showed it to me once. I wish I had do you have a picture that no I wish I had hung on, you know, Sean Donnelly may have a picture of me what and the comics yeah like I don't know where somebody had showed it to me once I wish I had you have a picture that no I wish I had hung on you know Sean Donnelly may have a picture of it I'll see if I get a descendant but yeah there's Bush bills whiskey I wonder if I'm still if it's still if it still pulls up on Google image but they kind of took us around that was the campaign that was nice. Interestingly enough, from that, I think like that photo, I don't want to get it wrong,

but one of the guys that we were with got arrested while we were there, was accused of sexual assault. Like while we were there. And he was one of those guys, yeah. And I'm not sure, I didn't really like, I love Irish whiskey, like I love Tullamore Dew whiskey. But I don't even like Bushmoor. Tullamore Dew is really good, underrated.

Oh, that's the thing, we were just talking about the alcohol there. Yeah, Tullamore Dew whiskey, that was like my favorite. Tully, when I go to Patty's, I'm like, and they say, I was talking about Tully, and you're like, yes, Tully, cool, I thought you said that. It's so sweet and smooth, you know? Yeah. I like smooth whiskey,

like I love Canadian whiskey, because of that, which everyone's like, gross, Canadian whiskey, But I really dug it. And the Guinness there is it the Guinness there is for real out of this world. Like it does feel like explain that. I mean, it just it feels like you're drinking like an alcoholic chocolate shake almost like it's it's so thick and delicious. Like I'm starting to salivate right now thinking of it. Like it's not that you're never gonna have like a Guinness here that's gonna taste like it. I think it's partially because they clean the pipes

every night, like the way that they prepare alcohol is a lot different. Colum tried to explain it to me. He goes, every city in Ireland has what they all would consider the best Guinness. It's unbelievable. And it'll be like, no, this bar or that bar has it. So it's like an A theory and a B theory.

But everyone agrees, well, those are the two best bars for Guinness because it said depending on the tap, it is better or worse. And it does, and it's a religious experience because I can still feel like the foam on my mustache hair, you know what I mean? And then how cold the actual alcohol is, you know how old the actual Guinness is. I mean, then how cold the actual alcohol is you know how old the actual

Guinness is I mean it really is I mean it really is absolutely incredible Yeah, so I do think like the you know like the food there was like I'm sure I didn't eat the right shit You know because I would get drunk, and you'd go to like a fish you go to like a you know a fry shop You know what I mean? Yeah, I'm doing this my Mars bar. Do they have shit like that? I don't think I had a I Mars bar Do they have shit like that? Was there but I remember I would just I would honestly eat like a lot of halal and shit like that I mean, it was all good stuff, but it was all just like different, you know alterations of mayonnaise on potatoes, you know It was yeah that was the tully is really good Smooth because it's also like when you're getting not a high level,

like you're on McCallan 25, right? Okay, well that's fine. You're spending like 40 bucks the first shot of that or whatever. But they're like, what's the okay whiskey? And it's like, well Jack Daniels is not as good as Jameson's or something like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But it's like, I don't know what those levels are. Tully seems better than Jameson. Tully, I mean I like Tully better than Jameson. I mean I like Jameson too, but you know, I probably liked it too much. But not the one Arale. But I would say, yeah, I would say, you know, like without a doubt, like as far as like cultural things

to do there, the Francis Bacon Gallery was pretty incredible. Like I had never been introduced to their, I just had never been introduced to their art and it was like his gallery while he was there. He was like a wild dude where he was like, I guess his lover was like the guy who broke in to his house and then they just started fucking.

Like the guy from. You guys got a great man. I really do. Hey, get out of here, but first. Like, God damn. It was, yeah, it was, I remember, but yeah, a lot of this time I was there, it was like, something I did there was like, I remember like I was,, it was it was I remember but yeah a lot of this time I was there was like something I did there was like I remember like I was somehow I was drunk in the Natural History

Museum which like you can do here, bro You can do in New York, you know You can get drunk and go to the Natural History Museum and up like falling down a flight of stairs and almost like crashing into a Neanderthal exhibit, you know, like I'd be so apt You know like and I remember I'd be so apt I dug myself up, but I was like like I align with the fucking crow magnet You know and I was like there's really not that much difference right now. This is like half an evolutionary step

From where I was but you know they are the theater there is fantastic I didn't see any comedy while I was there because I didn't give a fuck about comedy at the time you weren't doing it I wasn't doing anything. But I remember like, I do remember hearing Des Bishop's name when I was there. He was already big there. I think he was already known there. Wow. So weird, but I got the Queen's speaking.

And Billy Connolly too, I think I vaguely remember that. There's a few good Irish comics, I met in Edinburgh, that are like big there, but also a lot of them just moved to London and become big. I think they have a weird thing about themselves the way Canadians and Australians do. We can prove it somewhere, prove it in America, and then we'll take it.

And then we'll come back and do it. Then we'll say we liked you all along. Yeah. I still would say that Americans have the most superior stand-up. I mean I don't really want to go down this road. It's obvious. It's not even close. When I was taking a film class in college he was American film directors and we focused on who do we focus on? I forget. I forget. It was like John Ford and like Spielberg and a few others, whatever. And he goes, it's American film directors, listen.

He goes, I'll say this right off the bat. There is good cinema in other places. You know, French have some good stuff, and like whatever, and this was 20 years ago. So now it's even better, Norway has really good stuff now. But like, but he goes, it's all in the shadow of American cinema. And he and he's like it's not a debate

I'm saying they do have some good stuff. It's not even close. Yeah, Hollywood runs movies So we're gonna concentrate on this and I think you know stand up. It's the same shit Well, you guys aren't here or there you might get a couple people better than us. Sure, but like Basketball. Yeah, like I'm sure there's better Irish comics than me individually, you know what I mean? But as a whole, like you could. They're 10 years behind us. Yeah, you could.

In the UK and Ireland. But I think it's also because it's just, there is the melting pot thing here, where you have a bunch of people that would have never been around each other who are now forced to be, and more black and Jewish people, that's probably the number one thing.

Right, black people, makes it way funnier. Also, the Irish sense of humor is pretty good, huh? Yeah, I mean it was, you know I think that there's like, Here if you have a sense of humor, like ooh you should be a stand up there, it's like great. There it's like yep, continue working on the farm. Yeah, yeah.

Or be the funniest guy at that pub. But I don't know about you personally. I mean, like, you and I know the funniest, like some of the funniest people in the world, but the funniest people that I've ever met are still people that I remember are still people that aren't comedians. Or not.

I have a couple friends that like, I was like, oh, this guy, like this guy, my friend Charlie is like an artist in Chicago. Chicago has some funny people. Made me laugh harder than anybody else. Some guy, I do, actually a lot of artists. This guy Ethan was an artist who I worked with at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Like, he's one of the funniest guys I've ever met. He had never any desire to go on stage. And I think that's just because they don't have that. They don't want the applause, you know? But. Oh, right, exactly. And it's also like, that's too much stress. No thanks.

Even like Danny Brown, this rapper, he's like pretty funny. Just funny guy and he has a podcast on Segura's network. And he's funny and they're all like, you should go on stage. And he's like, no. Because that's way harder than what I do. It's a totally different day.

I need your attention the whole day. It's like as soon as you go to the mic, you're already bombing. Like you haven't told a single joke yet. And he goes, me? It's like they cheer for my face and then I'm going. We start a song, you're already bombing. Like you haven't told a single joke yet. And he goes, me? It's like, they cheer for my face and then I'm going. We start a song, I'm already killing it. Yeah.

Well that's the whole thing, right? Musicians wanna be comedians, you know? Yeah, yeah. But of course, of course you're gonna kill. If you have something moderately amusing between two songs people love, of course it's gonna crush. It's like a professor making a joke like yeah Yeah, easy shut up

Good for drunks, but I'm not sure like what what music is good like what do you think? What music is considered the best? I mean, I guess I guess if you're gonna go like classical music right like if you're gonna go to like we always say for granted That rock and roll is like no Americans better for rock rules England's Yeah, the. Yeah like okay Jimi Hendrix is better than Thin Lizzy but like Beatles are still pretty great still just yeah

yeah exactly I think it's like negligible theater they might have on us they started. They for sure have acting on us. We have jazz they have acting. They have acting. Yeah this is a longer history of it. And you know who has acting on us too now is Australia. Ooh really? Like we're like yeah Australian I would say the average Irish, British,

or Australian actor is way better than the American actor. I bet you're right. Also, because we really focus on movies and looks and not the talent part, just the fame part. Right, and I think that the idea of the, they have that sketch, they have that part in Extras where Ian McKellen is talking about acting,

and then I just become the wizard. Instead of American versus the Stanisławski, I've gotta feel like shit, I've gotta see where my internal, he's like, no, it's all pretend. They understand it's still just pretend. Like you're doing a pretend thing, and it's the craft element of it. It's like getting a coronary

while I'm preparing for a fucking fun role. Yeah, that's crazy. Do you have any travel tips in general? Oh man, I mean I stayed, I know the hostel you're going to before we had, there were times that. Okay, wait, wait, wait, that's a good one, I haven't had that. Know the hostel you're going to.

Know the hostel you're going to, like there was time, like when I went to, because I went to Florence and Rome while I was there, which that was incredible. You know, and I wasn't checking in before I got there and then they just didn't have the room for me and then you're like, but I was supposed to stay here and they're gonna give a shit. Especially, you know, especially because

Trump is probably gonna be the next president again so it's like, make sure you know where you're going next because they're gonna hate us again for the next like four years. You know, that's gonna happen. What is nice in the poorer countries, they don't hate us. In the poorer countries, we're just the people who throw money around.

Oh yeah, yeah. You know, they're just like, awesome, there's a fucking white here, they can't tell if they've seen a lot of this. Who do you think you felt the most welcome of? Like what country did you feel most welcome? Myanmar was up there too, it's very Buddhist in the Buddhist way, besides the killing the Rohingya,

but everything else, it's like, it's my culture to help you, as long as you're just passing through. Yeah and then you're like any type of fear you had was just like xenophobia. It wasn't real. It was based on like oh they must be up to something and it's just me reading into it because I was scared. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It was all in your head just like shadow boxing your head. Yeah. But know you're hostile. Yeah because when you are in Asia and you're like, oh, we're full, they'll feel like, there's another one down there and it's like 85 degrees out so you can just walk. It's not cold and rainy with all this shit.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I would say that that was like a, that was, and I, you know, I mean, it's just like, whenever you're going to a new place, just shut the fuck up for the most part, right? When you're first there, you have no idea what, like all the, I've made so many mistakes while I was there because I was like three sheeps to the wind, you know?

It's like, if I had acted, like, you know, if I had pursued like when I was getting sober in comedy where I guess started arrogantly talking, like I probably was talking there, people would have been like, oh yeah, you're never, we're never gonna take you seriously, so. I would just, yeah, just like the normal, like be a decent human.

Yeah, listen is not a bad idea. Just like if you're trying to learn about a place, don't tell them what they are. Yeah, that would be like, actually experience for yourself. Yeah, that would be, I think that would be a smart way to go. Yeah, I mean, in general, like, there's interesting, like even in Italy, right?

There's like I probably did all the touristy things but like the most interesting thing about the Sistine Chapel It's like the poverty right outside of it, right? So like you see what's an interesting one weird die comedy like you're actually going to the Sistine Chapel not to see like, you know like All the art that's on the ceiling. You're actually seeing like, oh, how does their lower class interact with the tourists that are there? And what do you then learn about Americans by seeing how they interact with them?

That is the kind of shit I wanna hear about in this podcast. Like the observations of a place that's not in the guidebook, but that kind of shit. Cause you'll often get an Uber driver where you get some beggar and they'll run out and give them change. And you're like, I guess in your culture, wherever you're from, they're like,

well, I need some money. I guess we should help them out. You're like, whoa, we ignored that here. We must still be new. Especially if they're young. Or they look like me. They're like, fuck you. Yeah, I mean, I don't know,

what's the last time you've gone to St. Mark's and just given any money to a guy that looks like you? I don't think I ever, I have to be like, hey, where's the stump? Where's the mental illness? Where's the wheelchair? I gotta know. Yeah, and that's the thing I saw in Beijing,

I saw homelessness that was like, oh, I get it. You have no chance to be anything else. Stumps and whatever. It's like, oh, right, right, right. You're not just on drugs. You can't be part of society. No, you can't be part of society. Like in New York, and New York is interesting

because there's definitely, you have to have a gimmick. It's like being a stand-up hero. You have to have a gimmick, man. I like the guy who falls down. Like, burning face guys always gets the money. That guy comes in, new sneakers each time, he earned it. He's got the new Jordans each time. I like the guy who cries and falls on the street

blocking traffic and screams, scream cries. And it's like his thing, and eventually people are like, I've been here before, get the fuck off the street. They're not like, oh my God, he's suffering. They're like, beat it, this is your scam. And you go, oh, you got me on that one. It's my birthday guy, but like, it's been every day this week, shut up.

Well, or the guy who like carries around the newspaper article of how he got impoverished, where it's like he shows you like the fire, and you're like, but you went to Staples, and you had this like blown up. You had enough money to like get this emanated. Yeah, I reinvested, I don't know. Trying to go up the streets.
