Host: Bobby Lee, Khalyla (with comedians and friends)

Episode Overview

In this comedic, chaotic episode, Bobby Lee and Khalyla welcome Estonian stand-up comic Ari Matti, plunging into a raucous free-for-all that spans international culture clashes, awkward confessions, comedian career journeys, and the quirks of trauma response through laughter. The group—bolstered by their usual best-friend banter and rapid-fire riffing—discuss societal differences, dating, naked parents, comedy competitiveness, lingering resentments, and what it means to be “the other” both in life and stand-up. As always, TigerBelly’s language and tone remain irreverent, self-deprecating, and joyously unfiltered.

Tone & Dynamic

The conversation is rapid, overlapping, and packed with inside jokes, self-roasting, mutual affection, and the kinds of broaching of taboos that only longstanding comic friends (and exes) can accomplish. The group’s willingness to toggle between gross-out, trauma, career vulnerability, and go-for-broke silliness is a testament to their chemistry and the enduring appeal of TigerBelly.

Is Estonia a spa culture?

[F]

Yeah. Sauna every day. Every day. And out every day. Pussies out every day.

[C]

Okay.

[F]

Like, my mom's friends. As a kid, you would sit, like, in there. Like, you know, in the lower level of the sauna.

[C]

Yeah.

[F]

Like right here. Mom's friend. Like, right here.

[B]

But I think that actually there are two types of people. Like, people with naked parents and people with clothed parents.

[F]

Everyone was naked at my house.

[B]

Me too.

[F]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah.

[F]

I would run around bush out.

[C]

Me too. People go, why do you get naked?

[F]

I know.

[C]

That's my dad.

[F]

It's comfortable.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[B]

Well, I shower with my friends and siblings. And it's like, not a second thought.

[F]

It's super funny how. Yeah. Americans are. They're always like, oh, everyone's gay here. We're super pro gay people. But then when you do dick humor.

[B]

Exactly.

[F]

Everybody gets all like, I live in Texas. Every guy there. If I do a little dick humor, all of a sudden, the riff stops. All of a sudden, this is about gay. I'm like. And I haven't seen anybody's dick in Texas. It's crazy to me. Everybody's dick in Estonia, but millions of.

[C]

In Estonia, everyone's dick.

[E]

Yeah, yeah.

[F]

If you're my friend, I see your dick. Within a while. We take a sauna. At some point.

[C]

It's like soybeans.

[F]

You see a lot of soybeans? I've never seen a soybean.

[C]

What I'm saying because of the tariffs.

[A]

Right.

[C]

Okay, stop. Right. America has a lot of soybeans. Right. And they're being tariffs. So then they can't just get it anywhere. So they got at Brazil.

[D]

It's good water, right?

[F]

It's crazy water.

[D]

We stay in Texas.

[C]

Crazy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So what I'm saying is, is that why do we get up so late? Because we were out there having a cigarette and it was like, this is, like, early morning. I go, yeah. And so what time do you usually get up in. In Austin?

[F]

Whenever I'm late to somewhere.

[F]

Have you ever. Either. Either. No way.

[C]

You have to see him at a restaurant. Yeah. Whenever we go to a restaurant, he stares at the plate for, like, at least five minutes going, I don't think I can eat this.

[B]

Why wait?

[D]

What have I done then?

[B]

Wait, I have a.

[F]

He definitely eats it.

[B]

I kind of.

[F]

By the way, he definitely eats.

[B]

I love you a little bit now, huh? But you're not on the spectrum, are you?

[C]

He is. Oh, we took a test at the restaurant. Yeah. He's beyond love on the spectrum. He's beyond it.

[F]

Even low on the spectrum was like, there's another show.

[B]

You have a lot of, like, particularities about food. Then it would make sense if, like, why, like, a. Wouldn't be your first.

[D]

You know, just because the thought never came up, like, hey, I don't think it's.

[B]

That.

[F]

That's probably feels gross to you, huh?

[B]

It probably feels gross to you, and that's okay if you don't like it.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, It's. It's a spectrum thing. I think it's a spectrum. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[D]

I took a test, but we told Bobby, take the test, but he doesn't want to, so.

[B]

Oh, he doesn't need to take the test.

[C]

I. I know I didn't be on test.

[D]

Okay.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. The other day I went adhd. I remember I was outside by myself three in the morning in the backyard, and I was doing something, and in my mind I stopped and I go, what the fuck are you doing? You know what I mean? I was going by myself in the back, and then I went, what the.

[E]

Fuck are you doing?

[F]

You're just being a creative person.

[C]

I was just expressing something, but I was, like, so full of joy. But you do that in front of people, not alone.

[B]

I don't think you do that in front of people. You shouldn't.

[C]

Oh, I just.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

I can't walk into a stop.

[B]

No, you can do that in your backyard alone at three.

[C]

Do you guys ever do that where you do something? You go, what the Are you doing? Every day.

[E]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah. Every day, right?

[F]

Every day.

[C]

Yeah.

[F]

Yeah, every day.

[C]

Give me an example, Ari.

[F]

Like being alone. No. And doing something of something weird that.

[C]

You would do and go, what are you doing?

[F]

Well, I'll do stuff like that too, where I'm like, in my own.

[C]

But.

[F]

But you do that Sober, huh? Because I'm high.

[C]

Oh, yeah, Yeah. I do it sober.

[F]

But that's good.

[C]

Yeah.

[F]

You have a childish brain. You have to use that.

[C]

Childlike. Me too. Yeah, yeah.

[F]

100.

[C]

Yeah.

[F]

I don't like. Yeah. ADHD. I don't give a. I have a creative brain.

[C]

Yeah, but you have all those things.

[F]

What do you mean? Adhd, all that. Yeah, I guess. I don't give a. It's making money for me so far.

[C]

Would I be able to get. If you and I went to Estonia, if we went to Estonia, would. Would you think I could get any. A date there or no?

[F]

Oh, yeah, of course. Also, what's crazy, I mean, you also talk like you're from a movie, dude. Because you talk American. When Estonian chicks hear that accent, you're literally from a fucking movie.

[C]

Make my day lady. Something like that.

[F]

Yeah. Don't do that.

[C]

All right.

[B]

Do they call guys from America the same thing we call them in Asia? The losers back home? Like the passport bros. Really? Like we call them LBHs. Like for instance, if they come to the Philippines.

[F]

Uh huh.

[B]

That. And they're looking for a wife, it's usually because they cannot meet a wife in America. So they're called like lbh as losers back home.

[F]

Yeah, we don't.

[C]

I'm not going to go now.

[F]

That is awesome that there's a lot of American men in the past 10 years that have come to Estonia with that like, motivation and the girls are just now catching on that it's a scam.

[C]

How is it a scam?

[F]

Well, you're just an American fucking autistic, introverted loser slash rapist. Right? Or some fucking. Like if you're an American, like pervert, businessman, just a disgusting dude. All your women back home hate you because they know your ass. You don't have this image of an American personality, whereas an Estonian girl, you know, because. Because it seems so exotic. And also, I don't really know, you know, like, it's like if you meet somebody, if you meet somebody from. Are you from San Diego?

[C]

Yeah.

[F]

And if you meet somebody from San Diego, you kind of tell when they're full of shit. Right? Because you know exactly what part of San Diego you know.

[C]

What I hate is like, you know, you'll meet somebody on the road. Like, yeah, man, dude, I'm fucking Californian. I go where? Victorville. It's not the same.

[A]

I think I'm trying to piece it together.

[C]

Yeah. Like when I talk, it's like an escape room.

[F]

There was a guy, I used to be a door Guy at a nightclub and there was an American guy. And this was like maybe 12, 12 years ago, I think something like that. So just when the first Americans started figuring out that there was all these hot Eastern European women. Yeah. You know, there's a. The reason why a lot of American dudes also always go to like Thailand, Philippines or now Eastern Europe, or get a Ukrainian wife is because they want the white. They wanna. They want a wife that's the kind of woman that they grew up with. You know, because like. Like just these old school women or what they imagine. It's what they.

[C]

Exactly.

[B]

Yeah. It's like a fetishization thinking that it's a subservient traditional woman. And it's like those actually don't exist back home.

[F]

Exactly.

[D]

It's like when white American girls take a trip to France.

[B]

To France.

[C]

Like, I remember Paris.

[F]

I was in. I was in Thailand one time.

[B]

Yeah.

[F]

And I was by the pool and you know, you see.

[A]

Is that your whole thought?

[F]

No.

[C]

Yeah, it's because.

[D]

You ever seen the movie Taken?

[C]

Can you let him finish his thoughts?

[F]

Of course.

[C]

Because it's making me so mad. I need the full explanation. No.

[A]

So say start from the top.

[D]

You ever seen the movie Taken?

[F]

No.

[C]

That's how you started. You said it's like something from white American girls. And the way you said Paris was annoying.

[D]

Okay, so when white American girls. Yeah, they go to Paris and like they take a trip and they see a French guy and they're like, oh, yeah, I'll give you my trust. But they get kidnapped just like the movie Taken. And that's what it is. They don't have it. They want. They want the. Their image is like, okay, I want this guy.

[C]

It's just like when, you know, you know you're in Tatooine, right? And you're at a bar and your arm gets chopped off. Yeah. It's just a movie.

[D]

It's just a movie.

[C]

I think I was wrong on that.

[F]

Another.

[C]

Another escape room.

[D]

But yes. Okay, your point's proven.

[C]

What?

[F]

Dude, you're sharp. Dude.

[C]

He's so sharp. Dude. Oh, my God. So.

[B]

So when you go to Thailand.

[F]

Oh, yeah, I remember there was this moment when I was by the pool and you see this. You see two beautiful kids and a woman that's an angel, you know? And then you see the husband about five minutes later.

[C]

Yeah.

[F]

Slob of. You know, it's always a slobber with a speedo.

[C]

Old in Estonia?

[F]

No, no, this is in Thailand. Oh, in Thailand, American dude Speedos the crazy Gut. You know, where the gut meets the legs. The Speedos, like your Instagram model, where you hide the.

[C]

Yeah.

[F]

Just a tiny gap of Speedos.

[C]

Yeah.

[F]

Disgusting. The feet. Worse feet in years.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[A]

Can I get a beer?

[F]

One of these guys.

[C]

Yeah.

[F]

Human diarrhea.

[C]

Yeah.

[F]

And the. The wife, the most beautiful pie.

[C]

I know.

[F]

The kid's beautiful too, but let's say her genetics did the heavy lifting. And thank God for that.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[F]

And then the slobber.

[C]

Yeah.

[F]

You know, the slobber.

[C]

Because also, their money from America goes a long way there too.

[F]

Not even long. I mean, it's literally. It's not even long. It goes. I mean. And she should get that money.

[C]

Maybe she should.

[B]

If she doesn't suck that dick. She gotta.

[F]

And she looks happy and they have kids. But the conversation, you know, it's. They're like third grade English, you know? You know.

[C]

Do the conversation for me. I'm not fully there yet. Yeah, so. Oh, right. Okay, get on. Am I in Bangkok? Hello, mister. Oh, my God.

[B]

But it's like, really?

[C]

They're like Elmo.

[F]

But then later I saw her alone. The husband went away.

[C]

Yeah.

[F]

The kids go away. And she's alone by the pool. And then she had that moment. She was smoking a cigarette and look like. Watched her own reflection. Boom. From the pool.

[C]

Yeah.

[F]

And then for a second, because otherwise they were happy. Nunu. Everyone was giggling. But then you saw that moment where she's like, you know, she's.

[C]

She's.

[F]

She knows exactly what the fuck she's doing and kind of that sadness. Kind of.

[C]

Yeah.

[F]

But then you go back, you know? But I hope you get that money.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Because, I mean, like, if you. If you think about it, it's almost like you do it out of like pure necessity. Right. Because it's like a third world country. least in the Philippines. It's like you are. You're living in abject poverty for sure. Okay.

[C]

If I was a hot chick.

[F]

Yeah.

[C]

Oh, my God, the. I would do Jesus Christ. Just like Zuckerberg and Basil.

[B]

Would you really pour yourself out?

[C]

I would hoard to the top.

[B]

Really?

[C]

Yeah, Just on my belly. I don't care. You know, I mean, I think I. I think I would if I was super hot.

[F]

But you don't need to do that anymore. You can just put finger yourself on a fucking app.

[C]

But I think you can get more money by doing that.

[F]

Generational wealth.

[C]

Generational wealth. Yeah.

[B]

Marrying into the family, you mean.

[C]

Yeah. I'm like a Rockefeller now.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

I am Angie Rockefeller. Whatever their name. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I want to talk about sinners. No, not sinners. Your rise. I want to talk about your rise.

[F]

Oh, thanks.

[C]

No, I didn't say you're at the top.

[F]

I'm not.

[C]

But you're a shooting star. And when I'm gonna. You are. I think out of the kill Tony people, only three people come to mind. I don't name the three. You're one of the three. What? Well, Cam. I think Cam has it. I mean, he's just. He's a star.

[F]

100%.

[C]

Yeah, you can see that.

[F]

He's like three years into comedy. You know that, right? Yeah, yeah, he was like two years into it when. Selling out ten shows or something.

[C]

What was that crazy? I think William's very funny.

[F]

Oh my. He. He's half the show. If you watch a Killzone episode, he's like half the show.

[C]

There a couple other guys, but you also. You're one of those guys that shine like them. And what are you laughing.

[E]

No, he. Jaime is laughing at me.

[C]

Why?

[D]

Because when you said, cam, he's a star, she's like, haha.

[E]

No, no, no, I didn't.

[C]

Yeah, no, I didn't.

[D]

I heard.

[C]

No, stop, stop.

[D]

I heard something.

[C]

Jaime.

[F]

What?

[C]

Right?

[D]

It's my ear.

[C]

Sometimes you're observant and sometimes you're dead on. In this particular case, you're dead on. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

[E]

No, no, no, no, no.

[C]

This lady. No, it's my show.

[E]

Okay, sorry. Okay, I'm sorry.

[C]

This lady. This lady is Bobby Climber.

[E]

[E]

No, no.

[C]

Yes, yes.

[B]

You know what? He won't respect you unless you are.

[A]

Oh.

[B]

Like he only loves people. Is that true? Oh my God. You love rats. Like you love.

[C]

I also love giraffes. In your face, bitch.

[E]

Who's a giraffe? No, but I laugh.

[C]

Kirk Fox.

[E]

No, I laughed when Ari said, you know, he's only like two years in the comedy, right? And I was like, haha.

[C]

Well, no, it's. What happened last night? Last night something happened. I'm going to tell you what happened. I was in the green room. I did my new joke night in the belly room and just a bunch of comics in the green room. And I mentioned. Okay, yeah, I helped. I can't say his name. I helped so and so get. Become a paid regular. I like, you know, make campaign for him.

[F]

Campaigned.

[B]

He championed.

[A]

Championed him.

[C]

That's what I meant. Yeah, I Champ. This is so early, dude. Yeah. I championed for him, and another white comic was like. I go, what? He goes, we have enough white dudes here. You know what I mean? And I go, what's your problem? He goes, well, I'm just saying, like, I want to be just, you know, I want to keep the white dudes that we have, because the more white dudes, the less spots I get. You know what I mean? But it's like. It's that kind of thing where it's like, people don't want to share.

[E]

What it's. Why is.

[A]

I know where that was going.

[E]

What about me?

[C]

Well, I'm just saying, it's like, this is great news.

[B]

If the white dudes are having, like, scarcity mentality, wait, then we every. That's kind of amazing.

[F]

I've been to the meetings. They are really white guys.

[C]

How high are you in the white. You know, I mean, I don't get.

[F]

The ultimate pass because I'm a white other, you know.

[C]

All right.

[A]

European, kind of foreign.

[D]

Like, you're.

[E]

You're. You're.

[F]

Every American lineup has four white guys, three black guys, two women, and one up thing. I'm usually the up.

[C]

All right. Right, right.

[F]

That's my spot.

[C]

Yeah.

[F]

If I see another, Your other, your other. If I go to a green room, I see another Estonian.

[C]

Yeah, there's going to be a problem. Oh, yeah, there's going to be a problem. Yes. You should see me walk by, like, the OR and see Jimmy up there.

[F]

I'm like, that's my favorite bit to do. If there's, like. If Hans Kim is in the green room at Vulcan, there's another Asian guy killing. I always go up to him, like.

[D]

What do you think?

[C]

What's he like?

[F]

Hans Kim?

[C]

Yeah.

[F]

He's. What did you say about him? Autistic.

[C]

Yeah.

[F]

Him and Hanskin would have a great book.

[C]

I really do like him. I don't know him at all.

[F]

Yeah, me neither, bro.

[C]

Yeah.

[F]

I don't think anybody knows him.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah. I'm sorry about that attack. That was. That was rude.

[E]

No.

[C]

Yeah. Yeah.

[E]

Wait, about. Just.

[C]

I. Yeah, I think this climbing part is true, but it's like, you know, I mean, I think my analogy or whatever was going. I'm, like, a little off, so it's like. Yeah, but I apologize for that.

[E]

No, you don't have. You've never apologized. This is weird. You said worse things.

[C]

I know. We shall not repeat them.

[E]

No, I won't. Yeah, but I know I. I know it's from love.

[C]

It's out of love. But there is a part of you. I think we all have it. Do you have it?

[A]

It's just ambition.

[C]

It's ambition.

[B]

You need it. It's a necessity. You wouldn't get to where you are if you didn't have that.

[C]

Yeah. Are you ambitious? Yeah.

[F]

It depends on what time you ask me.

[E]

No, but he is like that.

[F]

Yeah. I'm mentally disabled.

[C]

No, you're not.

[F]

I am.

[C]

But you're a lot like me, I think. What? You're a lot like me. I think there's a lot of.

[E]

I agree.

[C]

I think I'm. I'm not even considered a Korean comic. I'm more other.

[E]

You are? Yeah.

[C]

What do you mean?

[E]

You are?

[F]

Yeah. You're definitely. I've never heard you.

[E]

Both of you. You're very wacky.

[D]

Me too, man.

[C]

Me too.

[D]

Okay. Sorry for. But you're saying something.

[E]

Well, everyone's apologizing to me. That's so interesting.

[D]

There's a lot of people.

[F]

This is, by the way, the most people I've ever had in one podcast room. Really? Yeah. I've never met so many people once. Every time I look over there, there's a new guy back there. Scariest thing I've ever seen in my life.

[C]

Well, this is an old. I mean, an old ship that's still running 100%. Yeah. Yeah.

[F]

Still running.

[C]

10 years. Over 10 years. And we just consistently do it every week. Yeah.

[F]

It's awesome.

[C]

And welcome to the ship, brother.

[B]

How'd you get that scar?

[F]

This is a dog. See this scar right here? This is a dog going like this.

[C]

No way.

[F]

Yeah.

[B]

What kind?

[C]

Wow.

[F]

Me, eight years old. The dog is sleeping.

[C]

Yeah.

[F]

You know when a dog is sleeping? You know when you see the belly go up and down?

[C]

Yeah. That's called breathing.

[F]

It's like the coziest spot to lay your cute little kid head. Little white Estonian kid head. Little very white.

[C]

What kind of dog was that?

[F]

My stepdad got us a wolf. That's the issue.

[A]

Wow.

[F]

Yeah. I wanted the dog, and my stepdad was an alcoholic lunatic, and he just got us a baby wolf that grew up to be a big wolf.

[C]

Yeah.

[F]

And their belly's going up and down, and I go up like this, you know?

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

Okay.

[C]

Yeah.

[F]

And the dog wakes up.

[C]

Really?

[F]

Everything. Yeah.

[E]

Oh, my.

[F]

And it goes through and it.

[C]

Oh.

[F]

And then it rips.

[C]

Yeah. Yeah.

[F]

Ambulance.

[C]

What's the lesson? What's. What's the lesson?

[F]

Dogs hate me. That's the one.

[C]

Yeah. That's exactly what it is. Yeah.

[F]

Exactly.

[C]

Who's Your friend Vladimir.

[F]

Vladimir Putin.

[C]

No, your friend right here.

[F]

Oh, you saw it?

[C]

Yeah. That was mean.

[E]

What's that?

[C]

That was so mean.

[B]

He likes to do that. It's usually he's.

[C]

Cut that out. Cut that out.

[F]

That was.

[C]

He's just so rude.

[B]

He names it Raul, so.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[F]

It's Vladimir.

[B]

Vladimir.

[F]

Do you want to squeeze it?

[C]

I didn't know you were gonna get self conscious about that. Well, yeah, you can barely see it.

[F]

You attacked me.

[C]

Yeah, yeah. That's a part of the dog thing or whatever.

[B]

Well, you are. You have a big one right here.

[C]

Yeah, I'm not. No. Shame.

[E]

Yeah.

[F]

You have a couple too.

[C]

Yeah, not me.

[F]

And also I hope people talk about me too.

[C]

Yeah.

[F]

By the way. Yeah, I know sometimes people get offended at that. Dude, I want to talk and talk about me. Let it loose.

[C]

I want to walk into the green room and then people not know I'm there and talk about me. Oh my gosh. A dream of mine.

[F]

I love when I go into a green room and gets real quiet like the riffs for hot. You heard big pops and then you walk in. It's weird.

[C]

Yeah. Because I Do you have this because you're from Estonia? Maybe you're like Koreans. Do you hold on to resentments or.

[F]

No, I have a list in my head. There's like.

[E]

Yeah.

[C]

How many people?

[F]

400. Yeah.

[C]

Yeah. I have a lot.

[F]

No, I don't.

[C]

I don't.

[F]

But it's not resentment to act on it.

[C]

That's what I'm saying. I would never.

[F]

But I'm human. We have our thoughts.

[C]

Exactly.

[F]

And I don't like people who say, namaste. I have nothing to.

[C]

I love that. Nothing to regret. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I hate.

[F]

I hate when. Because that's.

[C]

It's not real.

[F]

That's, to me, a lie. I want you, like, if I meet you, you know, when, like, you're hanging out with another comedian, he says the N word around you for the first time.

[C]

Yeah, I like that.

[F]

That's a little trust that I'm in the circle.

[C]

Here we go. Let's talk about this quick.

[D]

Okay.

[C]

I'm not. I'm not with that you guys are doing in Austin.

[F]

What do you mean?

[C]

Well, let's be real. I don't like some of the words you guys use freely.

[F]

Huh?

[C]

Huh?

[F]

Like what?

[C]

It's. It's. It's like edge. Lord. It's like, not all of it. I know. But it's becoming so hacky to me that people. You guys use these words just for the shock factor. I miss not. I'm not into it. You know what I mean?

[F]

Yeah, I agree with that.

[C]

I think the R word sometimes in a joke, maybe. Right?

[B]

Yeah. Sorry. My face is just crooked.

[C]

Yeah, yeah. But I would. I would never say the N word in any environment.

[F]

Okay.

[C]

Except when I'm alone.

[F]

Yeah.

[C]

My backyard going. Yeah, yeah. No, I'm kidding. I would never do that. There's another one, the F word, I don't really use ever. You know, I mean, and I see Austin comic. Use it regularly.

[F]

It's in the contract.

[C]

It's in the contract. Yeah, yeah.

[F]

If you want to play in Austin, it's in the country.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I know this is my little tidbit. You know, I've talked about it with other people and I.

[F]

No, I get it. Like me, when we came up in Vancouver, everybody said how liberal that is, and I used all.

[E]

Every word. Yeah.

[F]

And the first guy I like, and.

[E]

He was talking about women.

[C]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[E]

Anyone.

[F]

Yeah, Anyone.

[E]

Yeah, anyone.

[F]

And in Vancouver and Seattle, I went to Seattle to do comedy, too. Everybody said how liberal it is.

[C]

Yeah.

[F]

But having. See, but having a line makes it more fun to dance around it.

[C]

I see. I see.

[F]

So I don't And I don't believe. I totally agree that there's sure a lot of comedians who just. I guess the line from city to city is a bit farther in other places.

[C]

So, you know, here's your saving grace. You're a great joke writer. You really are. You're a really funny guy. And so it's like, I never thought that about you, but I've seen other people. I was like, dude, you don't have anything. That's what you're doing. It just drives me crazy. But anyway, so you did kill Tony and did. Tony knew who you were before you did it?

[F]

I. Yeah. I landed in Austin. I went to audition for. Through Sam Talent. I got to audition for Adam Eagle. You know, like, just in.

[C]

I love Sam Talon.

[F]

And yeah, he's. He's my guy. He went to Estonia to do some shows.

[C]

You know, we're writing a book together.

[F]

Really? His last book was incredible.

[C]

Yeah, he said great writer. Anyway, so Sam called Adam iga.

[F]

Yeah.

[C]

And then you just showcase for Adam.

[F]

I showcase for Adam. It went well that as I'm showcasing Kill Tony starting in the big room. And then I think Sam was doing panel. And Sam and Adam were both so nice that they brought it up to. Was that you?

[D]

No, that wasn't me.

[C]

Okay.

[F]

I went to shock and they were so nice that they just told Tony, oh, this is a great visiting guy. And I wasn't even pulled from the bucket. I did sign up, but I wasn't pulled.

[C]

Yeah, I was just.

[F]

I just went up and then I stuck around the mothership.

[C]

But you must have crushed.

[F]

So it was fine.

[C]

It's one minute. It's hard.

[F]

Yeah, Very hard. And also not my stuff. I've literally. It is crazy that after, like, doing comedy for so long, you have to go back to basically joke writing to fit into that one minute.

[C]

Right, Right.

[F]

But I would say I wasn't a big. Of course I knew Kill Tony. I'm a comedian. I've seen clips and shit. My basic observation in my mind was that, yeah, you can have a great joke, but it's more important to show your personality. So I just. I just, like, didn't overthink the joke I opened with. However I usually open, I just showed my personality. I threw a kick in there.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[E]

You love a kick.

[C]

Yeah, yeah. You're so funny. Yeah, I've seen it. Yeah. I understand how legs work.

[F]

And then I think it went well enough that. Yeah, Tony, like, ask. Hey, we're actually looking for new regulars. Are you interested? And Then the first time he even tells a funny story how I. Because he said, you know, he came up, you know, Tony looks insane too. Like, with the cowboy hat, yellow tinted glasses, cowboy boots. And every time he talks to me, I'm already laughing because he's such a character. Especially when you meet him.

[C]

Yeah.

[F]

Then you get comfortable, you know? But he's such a character the first time you meet him.

[D]

Now, where you're at right now, how do you feel? Like, do you feel grateful? Like.

[F]

Yeah, 100. And there's plenty of progress to do, you know?

[C]

I mean, just let me. Just for a second one. Because we're jumping ahead.

[D]

Oh, okay.

[C]

Okay. I love you so much, and thank you for being here. Okay.

[D]

I love Artie, too.

[C]

I do, too. Okay. I love you guys. So you kept doing it. Did you feel. When did you feel when. Oh, people are like, I'm recognizable and people are like me.

[F]

I don't.

[C]

Was it gradual?

[F]

Very gradual, yeah.

[C]

Okay, Can I read that, please?

[D]

No, no, it's my journal.

[B]

It's private. I read it.

[D]

Thanks.

[A]

Bobby. On mic. On Mic, please.

[E]

No, no, no, no.

[C]

You can't read my handwriting.

[B]

It's legible. He can read it.

[E]

What?

[A]

On mic, Bobby.

[C]

Okay, don't read it. I don't know. I can't even. I don't know what it is. This says beans or something. Literally all it says, stuff off.

[D]

Sorry, go ahead.

[E]

Wait, can I ask? Ari, you didn't think I was nice?

[C]

Oh, my God.

[F]

Nicest is a big. I don't.

[E]

Okay. But we had. Yeah, we had a going on, 100%.

[F]

Yeah, of course. You were part of the crew.

[E]

Yeah.

[F]

It was like me and four other people maybe, who sometimes we would go and be.

[E]

We would have our time together.

[F]

Yeah, we would. Yeah. When.

[C]

Why are you so sensitive about this?

[F]

And every time we were in a car, you would almost crash.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

You know what you are?

[E]

What am I?

[C]

I'll give you an example.

[E]

Climbing.

[C]

No, it's not even that. It's like the day before we did the Renaissance Fair. Renaissance Fair. I just didn't hear that. Okay, did you guys hear it?

[B]

Like, three syllables?

[C]

I did. When I went to the Renaissance Fair.

[D]

Renaissance.

[C]

The night before. I was with Gene, dumbfounded. And you. And we're like, we have to be at the house at 10am Right? And she goes, what? I'm gonna be there at 10am no, we're saying it to you, Andrea. Right. So get here at 9:45. Right? Yeah, no problem. No problem. Everyone's here. It's 10 nowhere to be seen.

[E]

Can I say?

[C]

Yeah, no, you can't say.

[E]

Okay.

[C]

And you were up at seven in the morning.

[E]

Yeah.

[C]

Get three hours.

[E]

Okay.

[C]

But so my point is this, right? That's who you are.

[E]

No, no. Can I say one thing? Sometimes I get ready and then at the last second I have to poop.

[C]

No, you were.

[E]

No, I wasn't.

[C]

You were.

[E]

The person next to me was asleep. I didn't wake him up. I left.

[C]

Okay.

[E]

Without waking him up.

[C]

Anyway, welcome to the show.

[E]

Well, thank you.

[C]

Okay, so let's go. What are you doing? Don't you.

[A]

Scratching?

[F]

Do your ears sometimes get scratchy?

[C]

So then when you started, people started recognizing you and then when did. Yeah, yeah. When did you actually feel like, oh my God, this could be something, like I'm on the rise or whatever.

[F]

I don't know. Oh, selling out shows with my name. I guess.

[C]

Yeah.

[F]

That's a weird moment, you know, because I'm still part of a show. I'm still integrated into a show. It's not like I have an individual ticket selling base before. Yeah, but I mean, still, even the individual tickets that I'm selling are in that universe.

[C]

Yeah.

[F]

You know.

[C]

So did you do Theo's movie?

[F]

No. Never been invited, never been asked. Everybody looks at me as competition.

[C]

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I would use.

[F]

Dude, everybody hates everything I do.

[E]

That's not true.

[C]

That's not true. That's your inner thoughts that are negative and not real.

[E]

People love you.

[C]

People love you.

[D]

People love you, man.

[E]

Okay. I was so proud of you when I saw you popping up. But I guess what we have is nothing to you.

[C]

What I'm saying is, I mean, we don't have everyone on this podcast. You know what I mean?

[F]

Of course.

[C]

We govi anyway. Yeah, yeah. But what I'm saying is, is that, you know, I mean, your name just keeps coming up.

[F]

Oh, that's awesome.

[C]

And I can see just in terms of what shows up my tik tok and stuff.

[D]

Are you okay?

[C]

Yeah, yeah. I thought I was going to vomit for a second.

[B]

What dose are you on now?

[C]

Just the same. But, you know, I. I've been only eating like one meal a day.

[D]

Okay.

[C]

And will you be eating?

[D]

Will you be eating though?

[E]

Will you be eating?

[D]

I'm just curious.

[E]

Sorry, he's curious.

[C]

I didn't know what you were saying again.

[D]

What do you have.

[A]

Consuming worse.

[C]

How did it get worse consuming?

[D]

What do you eat for food? What, that one meal a day?

[C]

Well, yesterday we went to Katana. That was my like first Meal and It was at 10 at night.

[E]

That was your first meal.

[F]

Yeah, but what time did you wake up? Up?

[C]

7:00Pm I got up at like 1 or 2.

[F]

Yeah, that's fine.

[C]

Yeah. Yeah. But anyway, let's not. It's not about me and my burps. Okay. So what's, so what do you want to do now?

[F]

More standup? I want to create a good hour. Make a good special. Something like that. Always. I want to get what everybody else has, you know, passed at like the Comedy Store. Do shows. There's good life.

[C]

Dude.

[F]

Yesterday I was watching Rick Ingram.

[C]

Oh, my God.

[F]

Having a, I was having a panic attack in the back.

[C]

He's a beast.

[F]

Just because it was, you know, when you have a panic attack for another comedian.

[C]

Yeah.

[F]

If I was next, I would.

[C]

Oh, I, I, I watch him.

[F]

I literally go after 20 minutes ago. I don't think I got it.

[C]

No, because I call the talent creditor. I go, don't ever. There's two guys. One of them is a Rick Ingram and the second one is Tim Dillon.

[F]

Oh, that's hard too. Yeah.

[C]

Yeah. I, I refuse to follow them.

[F]

Jesus Christ.

[C]

Because it's, it's not that I bomb, but it's like, that's me drowning. Sorry. Whatever. I, I have to be at Top condition.

[F]

Yeah.

[C]

I have to be on point.

[F]

Jesus.

[C]

You know, I mean. And you can lose them really quickly.

[F]

Really quickly.

[C]

Yeah. So those are the two. Yeah. So, yeah. Rick also says to me the other day, he goes, hey, man, I don't want to ask, but I've never had a manager or an agent.

[B]

Crazy, right?

[C]

And I, it blew my mind. I'm like, what? Because. Yeah. I mean, I can't, you know, I mean, it's like, it's so heartbreaking.

[B]

Yeah.

[F]

Yeah.

[C]

A guy that funny, that can't get rep, like, he opens up for Chris Rock all over the world.

[B]

Yeah, I saw that.

[C]

You know what I mean? And it's like, it's so sad to me. Anyway, so let's. Here, let me ask you this. How many Kill Tony people have been passed at the store?

[F]

I don't think any. Right, well, Tony Hinchcliffe. That's it, I think.

[B]

Sorry. Sorry.

[C]

Yeah. You mean for the sound.

[F]

And it's not even.

[C]

I used to be so mad at that, but I keep it in and it's not like, it's not sweet. He's a sweet guy.

[F]

Yeah, he's. I love him very much.

[C]

Redback, you know, it's a joke. It's a comedy.

[F]

One of the nicest People I've ever met. He's the sweet in Austin. He was the. Like, the first one of the at least big guys that was super nice to me. Yeah, he's a big guy, like, recognizable. I mean, he's a figure. He started the most. He started three of the biggest podcasts in the world.

[C]

Gotta give him the slack. I'll tell you why I have a problem with them.

[F]

With Redback.

[C]

Yeah. He already knows us.

[F]

Jesus Christ.

[C]

So years ago. Yeah. I've never talked about this. I don't think.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

So years ago, I had a thing that went kind of like at the time, viral, which is me defending Carlos Mencia.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Remember that? At the store and when I said what I said, I didn't see Red band there filming. And I looked at him, I go afterwards, I'm like, you can't put that out. He goes, no problem. He put it out. And it got me a lot of trouble. It got me a lot of trouble. There's always a little thing like that. He was the biggest guy that you had met at the time.

[F]

Yeah, he was super nice to me. Yeah, yeah. Matt, Edgar. He's amazing guys.

[B]

I love him, love him.

[F]

Sweetest guy ever, you know?

[C]

So then when did you meet.

[A]

That's crazy.

[F]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah. Okay. Yeah. When did you meet Rogan?

[F]

Crazy. Taking care of nails.

[C]

When'd you meet Rogan?

[F]

I did. It's. It's so funny. It's like meeting the Pope when you come to the club one. It's like two weeks in. I've been maybe integrated a little bit. Door guys say hi to me. The security doesn't take no away.

[C]

He's not like the PO. You know why he would have died? Because J.D. vance met him. That joke is not.

[A]

I knew you're a Going for a killer.

[C]

Yeah.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

Are you.

[C]

Wait, hold on. I know you were waiting for.

[B]

Wait. You know what?

[C]

The slob again.

[B]

Grand slam, baby. Shohei.

[C]

Poor baby. This is what I miss about. You.

[A]

Mean.

[C]

Yeah. You know what? I think one of the things that really you were hot. But.

[B]

Ari, I'm not anymore. I have a face paralyzed.

[C]

Yeah. I can't.

[B]

You can't notice, but that's why that you were hot.

[C]

I remember we were. When you were living Long beach, we were in.

[B]

I used to be hot. Oh, my God. I was so hot.

[C]

You were so hot. Yeah, dude. When I saw you naked, I cried and looked up at God. I go, thank you.

[B]

I was really hot.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, you're hot now. But I remember we were in bed together and do you remember what I think?

[B]

Gilbert hates this stuff.

[C]

No. And you. You made me laugh so hard. I don't know what the joke was. Yeah, but you made me laugh so hard.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

And in my mind, I'm like, oh, she's hot and funny.

[B]

No, it's not funny. You like mean people. And I said, oh, that's really, really mean.

[C]

Yeah, you said something mean and you thought it made me really laugh.

[F]

I like mean people, too.

[C]

Yeah, yeah. No, I want their heart to be empathetic 100 and all that stuff, but.

[F]

Just let me know the toxic side of you.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. I think that's true. I think that's true. I think that's true.

[F]

Yeah.

[C]

So any. I don't know why I was saying something else. And then. Oh, Rogan. Yeah. So. And the J.D. vance joke that we might have to cut out. Oh, really? Okay.

[B]

We haven't chosen Hope yet, right?

[C]

No, it hasn't started yet. Yeah. I'm pulling for try today.

[F]

Chose. Chose.

[B]

I think it's all like the Cardinals, and everyone gets together.

[F]

Pedophiles get together. Who has the least amount? 17. Yeah.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

And then I think. But the Philippines, you know, we might.

[C]

I want. I think he's gonna be the guy, the Filipino guy.

[B]

We need a layup. We need one.

[C]

I don't think so. Really?

[A]

They're gonna give it to an attack.

[F]

It's gonna be a lot of karaoke.

[C]

Who's that one?

[B]

There's enough Italian popes. Give one to the Philippines.

[C]

I think that would be a great move and also a good sign toward the world.

[B]

Catholicism has wrecked our country, but, yes, we do need one.

[F]

How about a black pope?

[A]

Huh?

[C]

There's a black guy in the running. Really? Yeah.

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

Where's he from?

[F]

Yeah, where's he from?

[C]

When I say black guy in the running, you know what I mean? I know they run fast, but that's not what I meant.

[A]

No one thought that until nobody thought.

[F]

Nobody even.

[B]

Weird. Yeah.

[C]

Oh, Danny, is that my third? I'm struck out. I struck out.

[D]

It's okay.

[C]

Okay. I'm not gonna do any more jokes. I think that's my plan from now on. Yeah. I can't do a fourth. Okay, so rogue. Is that what you're talking about? When did you meet him?

[F]

Maybe, like, two weeks when I was in there. And of course, I did one of those classic things, you know, when you do, like, you're at a new club, you're doing your best stuff, you know? And then some point, the comedians start leaving the room. Because they've seen that set.

[C]

I hate that. Yeah.

[F]

And then, you know the classic thing when you start going, like, maybe I do got it like that. And you're like, second show all the wall new. That's, of course, the show he came to see. Full bomb. Of course, full bomb.

[C]

Oh, my God.

[F]

But he's still a professional comedian that I think sees like, oh, he's just fucking. He's just a guy who's bombing. And then after we talk, we got along. And then maybe a month later, I got to open for his Netflix thing. That was awesome. Awesome experience, you know, just to do a big venue like that.

[E]

Yeah.

[F]

And he's always been super supportive. And also, like, if you do open for him, the bag is crazy. You know, people. He might hate that I said that.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, he's super generous.

[F]

Super generous.

[C]

Yeah. I mean, I've done. I've been to concerts with him and.

[F]

And then also that's cool that he owns a club like that because, you know, it's. There's none of that pressure to, you know, every club I've been past that so far. I get past as soon as it's shutting down. Every club I've been past that. I literally got past the Caroline's. And then I was like, holy shit, I'm on. I'm Jerry Seinfeld.

[C]

Wow.

[F]

Six months later, as I'm boarding the flight from Estonia to New York, vulture.com legendary club Caroline's closes after 47. Yuck. Yucks. Yuk Yuks Vancouver.

[B]

Oh, yeah. Yuck, Yuck.

[C]

I love that.

[F]

I get on the roaster the month. I get on the roster. Big article. LOL goes under. JFL goes under. Yuckyuk's part of a package.

[C]

Well, you're roasting the club. What are you talking about?

[A]

No, I'm saying roster. He's part of the roster.

[C]

Oh, roster.

[F]

Like being an improv that you get paid regularly.

[B]

What did happen to Yak Yuk all over?

[E]

They just went under.

[F]

Yeah.

[E]

I mean, it's like business was bad for Yakux. I don't know.

[C]

Well, they're. They're. What I'm gonna say is that they didn't treat their comics well.

[F]

Oh, you think?

[E]

Dude, they paid us, like, nothing.

[F]

It was me and Andrew did a Valentine's Day show. 250 people. I do, like, 40 minutes at the show. It's a $50 check.

[B]

Yeah. Oh, my God.

[F]

The ticket is 35.

[C]

Yeah.

[F]

Yeah. And I was on stage saying, I'm 1.4 tickets. Breakfast was 47. I don't make breakfast.

[E]

It's. Yeah, it was so bad. Like, I couldn't believe how bad it was.

[F]

Yeah, you could already feel it in the. In the air that, like, a lot of those clubs, just, like the improvs, a lot of the chains, the house of comedies are. Yes.

[C]

I love Edmonton.

[F]

Oh, well, that's good. Because of the city.

[E]

Yeah.

[C]

But I like that club. There's a spaghetti factory there. And then the hotel room is weird. And late at night, at three in the morning, you can hear the seals, the dolphins. Dolphins. Yeah. Yeah, the dolphins.

[B]

Do they have penguins there, too?

[C]

Seals, too. They had everything. It's in the. So it's in a mall. In the middle of the mall is an aquarium. Oh, right, right. And then they're in the cages or whatever.

[F]

It's like.

[C]

And you're walking from the club and you hear.

[F]

Yeah, they're all crying.

[C]

Yeah.

[F]

Yeah. I went to. Went to a mall and went to a mall in Las Vegas. And the. And in the middle of the mall, they also had, like, an aquarium that's a circle, you know, like you're inside the aquarium, you know? And then the dolphins keep swimming one way. And then I was smoking weed with the security guard then. And I go, like, why are they always swimming one way? And he goes, because it's so tight, they can't properly turn.

[E]

Oh, my God.

[F]

And just for 20 years, you're in that lap of a mall, all these fat Americans are going to raw stress for less circling there.

[E]

I hate knowing that.

[F]

And they got bigger and bigger.

[E]

Oh, God.

[F]

And you could sense they're like. And they weren't even swimming, you know? You know, when they do, like, the long.

[C]

What are you doing?

[F]

You know, the long.

[B]

The long. Yeah, they were.

[C]

They couldn't do the tail. Yeah, yeah. For your whole life. Okay, we got it. We got it.

[F]

Before. Kill these dolphins. And then the Aquarius is yellow.

[C]

Okay. Is that P? All right, let's move on.

[F]

Let's move on.

[C]

Las Vegas. Yeah, yeah. Also, I hate Tik Tok videos. It's when the people's last moments with their dog. You got to get that out, man.

[E]

Oh, yeah.

[F]

Toby.

[E]

Toby.

[C]

You know, right? It's like, I don't want to. I don't know.

[D]

Toby was my dog.

[E]

It's really sad.

[B]

Yeah, it's really.

[D]

You know. Remember I told you, like, five times.

[E]

What?

[D]

Remember, Toby was my dog. The one that got chewed up by the husky.

[E]

Okay. You shouldn't.

[B]

I didn't know about this.

[D]

I don't know why he brought up Toby, that's why.

[B]

Oh, I thought you had a Toby in your life.

[C]

Toby Maguire?

[B]

No, like a pet named Toby.

[A]

Your favorite. Spider Man.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[B]

I mean, I'm sorry. Sorry. But no. And you never told me.

[D]

Yeah, it was Sylvester.

[F]

Like a dog. Ripped your dog apart.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

It's kind of awesome.

[F]

Did you see, like the body?

[D]

I was like in 8th grade.

[B]

Oh my God.

[C]

Why are you laughing?

[F]

I don't know. So vulgar and sad.

[E]

I do that too. Whenever there's a death, I am always like, yeah.

[C]

Oh, don't bring me to a funeral.

[E]

It's like a nervous thing.

[C]

Oh, I laugh like a hyena. I can't help it because I can't. Yeah, yeah. Like being in school, it's nervous.

[E]

I'm like, nervous.

[C]

So my, my, A friend of mine, she killed herself in high school. And we're at the funeral and I was with my friends and everyone's crying, right. Devastated. You know why, you guys, it was like a black funeral. They were like, they were rolling, doing somersaults. Yeah. You know what? Anyway, this is real. No.

[D]

I'm laughing because she's laughing.

[E]

I'm laughing cuz you're looking at me laughing.

[C]

Okay, it's okay.

[F]

The girl, is it real?

[C]

No, it's a joke. But anyway, she did die. I'm sitting there and you hear a knock. She try to get out, you know, something like that. And I laughed so hard. No one else laughed.

[F]

Wait, somebody said. She's trying to get.

[C]

I said it and I laughed at my.

[A]

Oh, you laughed at your own joke?

[C]

I laughed at my own joke.

[F]

If I was at a funeral, you would say that. Scream, laughing.

[C]

Yeah, yeah.

[F]

The funeral's over.

[C]

Yeah. You'd laugh too, right?

[F]

I would laugh so hard.

[C]

So she's trying to get out like that, maniacally.

[A]

Oh my God.

[C]

Yeah. And people were like, jeez. The parents were turning around. Oh, yeah, yeah.

[D]

Swinging a miss.

[B]

It's okay.

[C]

I mean, it's okay.

[E]

I mean.

[C]

Yeah, yeah. That was, I don't think that was a miss.

[F]

That was definitely not a miss.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[F]

The fact that if, if I said that and nobody's laughing, I laugh even harder.

[E]

Yeah.

[F]

Because it's so uncomfortable.

[C]

You know, I, I, I miss her. Okay. And I was devastated, But I don.

[B]

I, I think that's actually quite common.

[C]

I think so too.

[B]

There's like a fine line between like, pain and laughter. And it's a very, it's very easy to cross over. On the other side of it, there's.

[C]

Nothing more truer than death. I mean, it's finalized. You can't spin it. Except Herman Cain tried, but do you remember that?

[B]

Yeah, I did.

[C]

Herman Cain. You know what I mean? Went to a Trump. He was running for office.

[B]

Yeah, I remember him.

[C]

Yeah. And he went to a Trump rally in the height of. Of COVID And he died.

[D]

Oh, yeah.

[C]

Like a week later. But then three weeks later, he started tweeting again. It was crazy. It was like. Yeah, I mean, I don't regret going to the rally. You know what I mean? MAGA or something like that was crazy. But anyway. Yeah. Yeah, it's too true. I can't do it. Where else do you laugh? That's weird.

[F]

Whenever. There. Oh, yeah. I mean, every time. The bigger the tension or the bigger the pressure to act in a certain way.

[C]

Yes.

[F]

Dude, I fuck up every. Every meeting I've ever been in where things get serious, I always fuck it up. I always say something completely inappropriate. I always fuck it up. But funerals for sure. I literally. I had to leave. I went to my girlfriend's friend, also killed herself. She jumped out of windows first.

[C]

I guess they jumped out of her.

[F]

Window in front of her mother head first. Oh.

[C]

Oh, my God, Ari.

[F]

It's up. Yeah, but I remember I couldn't go to the funeral with my girlfriend just because when I started approaching the funeral how sad everyone was, I could feel it coming. That you're gonna get.

[C]

Yeah, it's gonna be bad.

[F]

Yeah. And then, you know, they play some hacky song. And then of course, at the funeral.

[C]

Is it a Beatles song?

[B]

Don't you dare.

[C]

No, that song is so over in my life.

[B]

Don't you dare. That's not. That's my favorite.

[C]

Don't you dare ever again.

[B]

No, I love that song. It's my favorite Beatles song. And it's not just for funerals in my life.

[F]

It hasn't come out yet.

[C]

I loved you more. Nothing.

[F]

I know that.

[A]

That one.

[C]

Do you know what, Mrs. Are you. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[D]

When you try to talk to a girl and then she goes with Ari, and then. That's the swing.

[C]

Finish the funeral. Okay. You didn't go?

[F]

No, no. I mean, I was approaching the field.

[B]

Yeah.

[F]

And I had to go to the bathroom. It's not like I laugh alone in a bathroom like a psycho.

[C]

I just felt.

[F]

I can't right now. I gotta leave because it's so tense. Everyone's so sad. But also, I didn't even know the girl. So you're at a funeral, you know, you're Like. Like, it's like you're watching a series mid season. I don't know. I'm no affiliations at all.

[C]

Yeah.

[F]

And then I always get that.

[D]

I don't know.

[C]

Are you a child of trauma.

[F]

For Americans? For sure.

[C]

Yeah.

[F]

Smooth sailing.

[C]

Childhood.

[B]

That's how I used to feel during Mass. Like in the middle of church when everyone was like, kneeling and like as soon as my sister and I would always get this sneer from my mom and we'd get, like, we'd have to leave the. The church early and she.

[F]

Kids don't would see. Yeah.

[C]

Yeah. I think I was a kid, too.

[B]

What, when you met.

[C]

When that lady.

[B]

You were a teenager?

[E]

Yeah.

[F]

Oh, teenager is literally giggle city.

[B]

Yeah.

[F]

All giggles.

[C]

Also, I've never been in that situation before where I met. My grandparents had died, but they lived in Korea. But this is the first time that someone died that she lived like three blocks from me.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

And it was. I just didn't. You know, and with the home that I had, with the violence and the screaming and all that stuff. Stuff, I. I just couldn't do it. You know, I just laugh because I just don't know what emotions are really.

[B]

Yeah. I feel like in. In it is a coping mechanism. Like, if you don't laugh, you'll die. Like, that's sometimes how I feel. If I can't. Like, even the worst that's ever happened to me, if I can't tell it in like a playful way, I feel like I'll die telling it.

[F]

Like, I love when you're around something like you're experiencing with your family or loved ones, like a traumatic or like some. Some deep thing. And then if you find someone who's also a giggly guy to alleviate.

[C]

Am I the giggly guy? I grew up in Estonia. Would we be friends?

[E]

I feel like you would be opposing forces.

[C]

What?

[D]

Enemies?

[E]

No, because you're so. You're both such big personalities.

[F]

Oh, we are. I mean.

[C]

No, no, no. Guys like this. I thrive.

[F]

Holy.

[C]

Did you see Santino's like this.

[E]

Really? But there's a calmness to Santino.

[C]

No, no, no.

[F]

He's.

[C]

No, but there's also. He has. There's this type of edge.

[E]

Yeah.

[C]

That they both share. I think my point is. Is this. No.

[E]

Okay, okay, okay. Sorry.

[B]

Are your parents here or.

[F]

Everyone's dead. Everyone's dead.

[B]

Everyone's dead.

[F]

Everyone's dead.

[C]

Oh, no.

[B]

When did everyone die?

[F]

Just periodically. Everyone just died.

[B]

So, like, you have no family?

[C]

No siblings?

[A]

I got.

[F]

I got a sister. Sister. Sister. I have a sister.

[B]

Oh, she's alive. So not everyone's here.

[C]

Yeah, not everyone.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Is she hot?

[F]

I love singing.

[C]

She's not okay for me. You and I share somebody. I can't name who it is really, that is doing a project. I think you'd be. You should. You got to be in it. So. I don't know, I just think that you're.

[D]

I don't know why she's left.

[E]

Cuz I look at Jaime.

[C]

What is going on? Is it me?

[F]

There's two separate podcasts happening.

[C]

I know, I know. Yeah. Yeah.

[F]

I think there's three separate podcasts.

[C]

What we're doing. What I mean to say is, is that I think you have a big future. There's no one out there like you. And honestly, do you want to plug some dates or anything?

[F]

Just my Instagram. Ari Maddie.

[C]

[F]

If you Google Estonian comedian, I'm the only one that comes up.

[C]

[C]

Yeah. And then with my dumb face, it's great. So give Ari a round of applause. Can I get your number?

[B]
