#472 Malcolm Xtra Large with Reggie Conquest
May 24, 2022 11:00 - 1 hour - 82.8 MBComedian 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.

May 17, 2022 11:00 - 4 hours - 175 MBDave Smith joins me to have our annual (except last year) what’s up with America. We covered everything.

May 10, 2022 13:30 - 2 hours - 88.8 MBJoe 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 w...
#469 Father Figure with Chris Distefano
May 03, 2022 11:00 - 1 hour - 63 MBSerial 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 k...

April 26, 2022 14:30 - 1 hour - 40.2 MBDelta 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 f...
#467 Nelson Muntz with Dan Soder
April 19, 2022 14:00 - 2 hours - 126 MBDan Soder came over to talk about his special that came out nearly three years ago. "Son Of A Gary" on HBOMax. This podcast is three years in the making. 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.

#463 Raaaaage with Robert Kelly
March 16, 2022 11:00 - 1 hour - 72.6 MBStandup 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 Michig...

February 22, 2022 12:00 - 1 hour - 68.2 MBComedian and former Chicago inner-city school teacher Amy Shanker talks to me a 2.2 GPA high school graduate about what it was like being a teacher.

#455 The Most Texas Podcast Of All Time with Joe Rogan and Tony Hinchcliffe
January 18, 2022 12:00 - 2 hours - 85.7 MBLiberal mouthpiece Joe Rogan, and I guess heterosexual comedian Tony Hinchcliffe met me at a gun range in Texas to shoot the poop and tell stories about the past while Tony caressed his new girlfriend.

#453 White People Want Me Dead with Nate Marshall
December 28, 2021 12:00 - 2 hours - 98.7 MBNate Marshall and I talk about how we both kind of feel the media is turning everybody on each other. We kept it funny, relaxed. Nate watched so much TV and read so much social media during the BLM protests that he could feel his worldview changing toward the negative. We were both thinking about these ideas when we met last summer and we immediately traded stories and ideas on it. Now we’re both kind of feeling that our thoughts are no longer our own. But for real, we kept it light. It’s ...

December 21, 2021 11:00 - 2 hours - 78.9 MBEmma Willman and I talk about women. What they like. And a loooooot about what they don’t like.

#451 Nirvana Is My Pearl Jam with Joe List
December 14, 2021 11:00 - 1 hour - 66.5 MBJoe List came over to argue with me about music. For real Joe is top 3 or 4 comics into music. He’s got great taste and he loves going to live shows even more than I do. And I really really love going to live shows. He does it sober all the time which is crazy to me, but that goes to show you how much he likes music. Legit though, all we really disagree on is whether Pearl Jam and Nirvana are great or just really good. The intro is a manic recounting of the last two concerts I went to. If...
#450 Unicycling In A Homeless Toilet with Jeff Danis and Ryan O'Neill
December 07, 2021 11:00 - 2 hours - 99 MBComedians and Beach Cops Ryan Oneill and Jeff Danis join me at a park in Los Angeles right outside an area where all the homeless people of Los Angeles take their malnourished dumps. It stunk so bad. The flies were not as unbearable as the stench that brought them. It’s always a great time with the D&O! We saw vapid LA morons unicycle by looking for attention any way they can get it, as is the way in Los Angeles. It’s a horrible town. And we’ve seen it turn our friends into soulless mental...

November 30, 2021 11:00 - 58 minutes - 34.1 MBI attended skateboarder and standup comedian Dave Chappelle’s screening of his movie at Madison Square Garden. And MAN! What a show. I really thought it was just going to be a movie screening. But why would I expect that for $100+ per ticket? No, Chappelle put on a show. Comedians, musicians, Jeff Ross. Folks! I wish you all could’ve been there. It was a really fun night. Please make sure to watch Dave Chappelle on Netflix today. He needs the views. And also watch my special on Netflix, Do...

So many great stories from Chloe about a world that’s waaaay interesting and for some reason never really gets talked about too much. At 16 Chloe lived cooler than I do right now. I'm a dork.

#443 Can I Get A Witness with Doug Smith
October 11, 2021 10:00 - 2 hours - 92.2 MBFormer Jehovah’s Witness Doug Smith and I talk about the Jehovahs. They. Are. Weird. Doug got raised in it when his mom decided some guy at her front door had great points. Parents never run it by their kids when they decide to join some cult. They always just sign everybody up for it without even a chance to weigh in. Anyway, it was a funny discussion of one of the world’s most interesting sects of Christianity. I guess those snake handlers might have them beat. And the Shakers. Did you kno...
#442 Summers End with Mat Edgar and Ryan O'Neill
October 04, 2021 10:00 - 2 hours - 92.9 MBMat Edgar, Ryan O'Neill, and I talked about our adventure in the woods for the final day of the greatest summer of my life. We found one of the coolest, most remote, wildernessy, beautiful, amazing, relaxing places I’ve ever stayed at. I wish I could’ve taken you all with me. But it’d be weird if I did. Mostly because there wouldn’t have been enough Raniers to go around. But also the smell of poop would’ve been overwhelming. Counterpoint, though. Maybe I could’ve pooped on someone’s poop. Ei...

#440 Avoiding The Conversation with Yannis Pappas
September 13, 2021 17:00 - 2 hours - 86.3 MBYannis Pappas came over to my house to talk about the greatest baseball game ever attended. But it turns out I'm a terrible podcast host and as much as Yannis tried to get to the topic we agreed on, I just kept missing the hints. So this ended up just being two friends joking around for 3 hours. I mean, you’d think after 10 years this guy would have learned how not to do this. Just real rookie stuff dude. Totally unprofessional. Follow Yannis! Instagram Twitter LongDays with Yannis...
#439 Wrecks In Effects with John Hastings
September 06, 2021 10:00 - 3 hours - 115 MBJohn Hastings and I talk about car accidents on a fun episode of Skeptic Tank. John has been in a dozen accidents so he’s got a lot of experience. And I have hit and run over 34 people in my life, many of those resulted in fatalities. So I can’t quite fully join in because of an antiquated statute of limitations rule in the state many of these “crimes” took place, but I've still got some stories left over. Follow John!

#437 When The Store Had Balls with Eleanor Kerrigan
August 23, 2021 09:00 - 2 hours - 102 MBEleanor Kerrigan comes over to talk about the glory days of the Comedy Store. Eleanor and Ari were employees of the Store together at the turn of the century. That sounds weird but it’s true. Are we old? Am I old? Is the only thing keeping me young a steady flow of mind-altering substances and laughs from live audiences? Or is it just the general utter lack of responsibility? My friends from high school look like you should call them sir. I look like a guy you’d find sleeping on your lawn on...

Futu Manu in Tetum. Pelea De Gallos in Spanish. Probably some other names in other languages. Rojo entered his pet into one when he was a small boy in Puerto Rico. Too young to be doing stuff like that. Ari went to his when he was 43 in Timor Leste. Rojo Perez is now a small man so he has distance and age to help him look back on his c...
