Xylia Buros is a nomad. For the last 6 years, she has been a citizen of the world, traveling from country to country at her own whim. I’m really jealous. I met her in Rolf Potts’s writing class in Paris. So we sat in her Montmartre apartment rental and talked about the nomad lifestyle. She has some great tips on how to make it happen, and some insights into the hurdles she’s had to deal with, and the fun at the end of any of the troubles that make it totally worth it. She really made me want to sell all my stuff and go somewhere exciting and new.  Don’t forget to subscribe to this podcast on audio and/or youtube. And tell some friends about it. Leave a comment, why dontcha? Tell me the places you’d go if you had nowhere to get back to.  And get ready for 2Comics2Cigars, the new youtube series! It’s 2 comedians smoking a cigar and talking. Nothing mind-blowing. But it should be fun. I’ll be in most of the first few but pretty soon it’s just gonna be any 2 comics. Sometimes me, sometimes Bobby Kelly, occasionally other people. Gonna be a cool youtube series I think. Skip the people you hate, watch the ones you love. Who cares? Life is short.

Hot Girl Noel Leon came to the studio to talk to me about what it was like working as an "Influencer."

Comedian Anthony Devito who once attended a swingers party and I sat on a plane and talked about Kansas City’s least known underbelly of fat people hook ups. KC is known for their third rate barbecue and second rate jazz but they’re actually number one in multiple sex partners among people who should have no sex partners. This is not the first podcast I’ve done on a plane. There was one a long time ago I did with Joe Rogan. But this is the first one I did with video. It’s wild what you can do when you don’t care about people looking at you weird. You guys can act like the people sitting in front of us looking back at two losers publicly making fun of people getting some nasty.   For more Ari Shaffir: For all upcoming shows & tickets: Tour — Ari Shaffir  Subscribe on YouTube  Tour Dates  Instagram - @arishaffir  Patreon  Cool merch & more   For more Anthony Devito: Watch Anthony’s new special: Brain Noise Get tickets to upcomings shows here: Shows — Anthony DeVito  Instagram: @comediananthonydevito  @comediananthonydevito | Linktree  Official Website    The Music: Yellowman- Night Flight Eddie Floyd - Big Bird Me First and the Gimme Gimmes - I Believe I can Fly Pink Floyd - Goodbye Blue Sky Mos Def - Leaving on a Jet Plane   Thank you to our sponsors!

Former hustler and current standup Ali Siddiq talks with a man who rarely hustles but still does tons of standup Ari Shaffir to talk about all the lessons life gives you. One guy slung dope, the other is one. It's a great conversation from Austin, Texas that brought two cultures together. That taught two peoples about each other. It's a lesson in communication. The boyz realized that words mean different things to different people. But they also realize how similar they were in their upbringing. Even though one dealt drugs, they both remember the space shuttle Challenger explosion. They just kind of had different reactions to it. I'll let you guess which one joked about it as a child and which one thought it was really sad. Ali is one of the best storyteller comedians in the world and he's got a new special out called The Domino Effect which goes a long way towards proving that claim. Check it out now on YouTube.com/AliSiddiq or on his website, AliSiddiq.com.       For more Ari Shaffir: Special Taping June 11-12 in New York: Ari Shaffir: Jew  For all upcoming shows & tickets: Tour — Ari Shaffir  Subscribe on YouTube  Tour Dates  Instagram - @arishaffir  Patreon  Cool merch & more   For more Ali Siddiq: The Domino Effect [One Hour Stand Up Special] | Ali Siddiq  https://www.instagram.com/alisiddiq/  https://twitter.com/Ali_Speaks https://www.alisiddiq.com/    The Music: Ali Bombaye Rick Ross - Everyday I’m Hustlin’ John Denver - Flying For Me Michael Jackson - Bad   Thank you 3Chi for sponsoring this episode!

Comedian Reggie Conquest converted to Islam over the pandemic. He talks to no religion former Jew current jerk comedian Ari Shaffir about how it happened. Reggie read the autobiography of Malcolm X (who would have turned 97 last week) and gained an interest in religion because of what he read in the book. Reggie knows very little about Islam but he does know what he’s going through as a new convert and that’s what we got into here. Also, Reggie is a big boy so that’s where the title comes from. Get it? I think you get it.   For more Ari Shaffir: Special Taping June 11-12 in New York: Ari Shaffir: Jew  For all upcoming shows & tickets: Tour — Ari Shaffir  Subscribe on YouTube  Tour Dates  Instagram - @arishaffir  Patreon  Cool merch & more   For More Reggie: Instagram ReggieConquest.com Watch Reggie on Insecure and  That Damn Michael Che   The Music: Hotboii Feat.

Dave Smith joins me to have our annual (except last year) what’s up with America. We covered everything. From the new baby exterminator laws to the current President, to the media’s attack on Joe Rogan, to the crime wave (of which I’m responsible for some) to homelessness, to Elon Musk, to the war in Ukraine. Dave gives an honest and non-biased rundown of all the topics facing America and Americans today. Dave Smith is on a constant quest for freedom and Ari Shaffir is giving him a platform. It’s a long one, but listen to it in installments if you have to because there’s not a single part of this you want to miss. Also, the queen of England has been dead for quite some time.   For more Ari Shaffir: Special Taping June 11 and June 12 in New York!

Joe List, Luis Gomez, and Keryn Feehan join me on my rooftop for a wild all-over-the-place conversation that started with friendship and ended in a love child for which 23 states wouldn’t allow early termination. These are 4 of the dumbest people you know . For real. List is probably the smartest because he knows how to spell the word Movie. Luis is obviously the dumbest. And all joking aside Ari is the smartest because of the heritage and also those people value education so even though I was a bad student, I was a bad student compared to them. But it’s still like super-intelligence compared to Luis and Kerryn. Joe is smart sort of. But obviously it’s Ari.

Serial inside blaster and now father and comedian Chris Distefano talks to me about what it’s like to be a father. Chris was about as honest (and funny) as anyone I’ve ever talked to about this stuff. He admitted to the negatives and told me about the positives. Very funny and interesting conversation!  Chris is for real a hilarious standup comedian and he’s got a new Netflix special out today called Speshy Weshy. He named it that because he’s less mature than his daughter. Check him out killing on this special or bombing on a jumbotron in stadiums all over New York.    For more Ari: Special Taping June 11-12 in New York: Ari Shaffir: Jew   Tour — Ari Shaffir Subscribe on YouTube  Instagram - @arishaffir  Patreon  Cool merch & more  For more Chris:  Speshy Weshy | Netflix Official Site  Show Tickets for Chris Distefano chrisdcomedy - YouTube  Patreon  Instagram - @chrisdcomedy  Twitter - @chrisdcomedy     Thank you 3Chi.com for sponsoring this episode!

Delta Clear applicant and standup comedian Mike Cannon met up with me at the St Louis Lambert International airport to discuss today’s hot button topic in a discussion you could only be at if you passed a rigorous screening process handled by top industry professionals. Now, I’m not really sure if the St Louis Airport is international. Actually, it would surprise me if any country has a direct flight to St Louis. What if St Louis had a ton of Cambodians on the QT. And there was one 18 hour flight directly from Phnom Peng to Lambert. Still, a whole airport for that? No way. Just go straight to a hidden airfield to unload all your “poppy.” Anyway, here’s the podcast.

I've been wanting to get Dan on to talk about his dad Gary since the release of his special, but then something happened and we never got around to it.  After we finished the episode, I had one last question to ask Dan but I forgot, so I drove all the way to his place just to ask him this one question, because I care so much about you, the listener.  Watch "Son Of A Gary" on HBOMax right now!

Standup comedian Robert Kelly is not in control of his emotions. He sat down with me, who is known to be emotionless, and told me about his problems controlling his anger. Generally Bobby is one of the sweetest guys in comedy. But sometimes he hulks out and it’s one of the wildest things you’ll ever witness. He completely rages and can’t get it under control for a while. But he always tries to make things right afterwards.  We discussed all that and our upcoming tour dates together in Michigan at the end of March all while smoking one of Robert’s favorite cigars, the Long Live The King from the Caldwell Collection. This might be the beginning of a great new video series but let us know what you think of the idea in the comments and if you have any thoughts on how to make it work and how to tweak it.
