#476 Influenzer with Noel Leon

June 28, 2022 14:30 - 2 hours - 114 MB

Hot Girl Noel Leon came to the studio to talk to me about what it was like working as an "Influencer." When she told me that was what she did for a living I was appalled, however now Noel is focused more on comedy and less on influencing people, so we were able to have a really good conversation about how awful it is.    For More Ari: Subscribe on YouTube  Instagram - @arishaffir  Patreon  Cool merch & more   For More Noel: Follow Noel on Instagram: @noelleoninsta Check o...

June 14, 2022 11:00 - 1 hour - 60.8 MB

#473 Festival of Hustlers with Ali Siddiq

June 01, 2022 07:01 - 3 hours - 130 MB

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 upbrin...
