I'm Irish and this man knows more about Irish literature than me and certainly my degenerate friends. Saying that, I'm the Irish equivalent of trailer trash so that's not saying much. Guy is a legit intellectual though. Edit: This is one of my favourite podcasts now. Keep em comin!
we refueled in Ireland and when I went to the bar and requested the bartender put booze in a plastic soda bottle for me to bring my friend who was stuck on watch-duty, I had no idea why he stared at me like I was crazy. Nice of him that he did it anyway.
Look regardless of how you feel about his stand up right now, the best guest you could get is Chappelle talking about Africa after leaving The Chappelle Show.
@hotbeefymcd8162 right, well. Take the 70'000 figure and don't even speak about irish born people in who joined in Britain and the U.S.A (Australia etc), and that's still proportionally double the amount of irish volunteers than english conscripts. So we were hardly the nation that just forgot about ww2. I hate that narrative, 3.5 mil English out of 35 mill = 1% 70,000 of 3 mill = ~ 2 %. The people who perpetuate this idea we somehow were not involved say so to insult us, and they spit in the faces of the bravest men of the Isles. I guess we can't afford the luxury of ego. We're to suffer the fallout of British propaganda for decades. I'm fine with that, but it's annoying when foreigners like yanks also pick up that bullshit and spread it as to me its indicative of a lower veiw of irish people they already hold, as if we are the most inconsequential peopoe on the periphery of history, even though they've been to our country!
Ireland was awesome…went about 15 years ago when I was 15. Westport is another great city I had a lot of fun at a bar called Cozy Joes was also smoking on K2 all throughout that place 😂😂😂
County Clare here... ye can have the cliffs if you want. None of massive revenue is injected back into local infrastructure. Visit Slieve League cliffs in Donegal, way better.
Whenever you start looking for someone to send all over I'll be knocking. Love your podcasts, specially the travel ones, been listening since the running of the bulls episode of Skeptic Tank, like half my lifetime ago.
The area around UCD is in the top 3 for most expensive in all of Ireland to buy land or a property, it is *NOT* like the Bronx. And also it takes about 10 mins to get into town on the bus from there, not a half hour, it's literally 4km away, the length of central park.
isn't "dance fatty dance" what chris farley would say all the time to david spade or felt i know it made me think about it i wish i could link the videos of them talking about it... i will check out dans special was just curious if anyone else went that direction
Great episode, shall check out Dan's special. That incident where he talks about being surrounded by people chanting "IRA" just sounds like a group of (probably drunk) lads taking the piss. That sectarian stuff isn't really a thing in Dublin.
14:41 Jeff Dye's newly released Special "Last Cowboy" on 800 Pound Gorilla YTC is must see hilarious, especially if your a guy! And i had never even heard of him before that. "Men Always Paying" bit & his "LGBTQ+" closer had me lmfao. And "The Dark Queen" on Netflix by Ari's Lady Friend was legit if you like Dark Humor! Every comedian has a "Special Thanks" list of names in the end credits, she stepped it up with a "Special Thanks…For Nothing" list at the end of her end credits which is a funny chef's kiss to end on.
Guest request comedian Ryan O’Flanagan he is a very funny comic out of LA that needs to get on a big podcast to boost his presence. I know he recently was in Mexico City and that could make for an interesting travel episode
People from they Republic of Ireland who get called British... will react😅 be sure ... its like an Irish man going to usa and calling them Canadians 😅😅
What is Ari talking about the Ira being against abortion and long term runners up? The Ira have never issued a statement on abortion ahahah and by runners up I’m assuming he’s referring to Sinn Fein who are the ruling party in Northern Ireland and are pro abortion?
Playing video games in a suite in Hawaii, a trip to Tijuana he's now decided was a joke and playing video games in a suite in Budapest isn't the most fertile ground.
i dont think junkies are doing krocodil (or however u spell it) because it makes them feel great, they are doing it because if they dont keep doing it then they go thru the hell of withdrawals. so the drug isnt great, its just better than the withdrawals
@@youbetrippinpod im pretty sure its an opiate based drug so the same way that people end up going from prescription pain killers to heroin. lack of access to the substance they are looking for so they resort to whatever will make the withdrawals go away. im not trying to say they SHOULD be doing it, im just saying that i really doubt that the flesh eating drug was their first choice. lol
@youbetrippinpod It's kind of analogous to how addicts in Philly, Vancouver, Puerto Rico, etc. etc. are all strung out on Tranq~Dope (which also causes huge ulcers to open up in your skin, and chunks of flesh to start falling off of you). Pretty much any of them you ask would far sooner be using your oldschool dope (which is kind of saying something!) At least Tranq~Dope will get you stoned, but the second you snap out of it you're immediately sick, whereas with Heroin you tended to get an hour or two's 'grace time'... However while Tranq~Dope was inveigled into the Heroin supply in North America for sheer profit - initially it was just the Fentanyl, notoriously 50 times as potent as Heroin (and capable of killing cops just on sight! 😉), then came Xylozene, the 'Tranq' part of the recipe, for added kick... a literal large animal tranquilizer that causes your body to dissolve from the inside, the worst of it being that one doesn't have to inject it for this to happen! In the ex~Sov. Bloc states, much like Tranq Dope, Krokodil was seen as a cheap'n'nasty alternative to Heroin. However while Tranq~Dope was inveigled into the North American opiate supply for no other reason than naked greed, Krokodil was more of a case of the law of unintended consequences... Back in the early noughties, before the advent of Putin, under the leadership of an alcoholic premier and where State employees were sometimes going months without any wages, Russia (and her satellite states) were seeing a tidal wave of Afghan heroin coming across their borders. ⅕ cash crop and ⅘ chemical weapon, the Taliban, still nursing a grudge for the USSR's occupation of their country in the 1980's, saw Heroin as an ideal way of de~fanging the 'fiteing aje men' [sic] of their 'infertile' [sounds like] neighbours. After the rise of Putin, the Russians and the other one~time Soviet Socialist Republics actually had a good deal of success in stemming this tide - _too much_ success, as it would turn out, given that they failed to put in place anything like enough detox and rehab facilities in place to meet the needs of the tens, if not hundreds of thousands of heroin addicts left swinging in the wind. However, addicts, as we all know, are a resourceful breed, and in fairly short order some street chemist in Siberia, legend has it, remembered Desomorph, an opiate that had seen some limited 'legitimate' use in Switzerland, iirc, in the mid 20th Century - not Heroin, certainly not, like, "The best thing since _EVER"_ in terms of the high, as you guys imagined, but in a pinch it would do the job, and crucially, it could be manufactured without any great difficulty so long as one had access to Codeine - something which might have presented a significant obstacle in most of the World, but in many of these countries of the former Eastern Bloc, Codeine could be purchased over the counter without prescription (something which, I'd surmise, must have already been the source of significant addiction problems, surely...) Codeine, though most certainly physically addictive, affords a trivial high, but with a little tweaking and some easily sourced chemicals, it could be transformed into something a little more promising - at least in theory. While geopolitics played a part in the misfortunes of addicts in both hemispheres, unlike in the Americas, the Old World addicts weren't doomed by finger~steepling literal supervillains with their own superlabs. The trouble with Desomorph was that while, when manufactured in a proper facility with pharmaceutical grade chemicals, it was presumably an adequate mid~range opiate painkiller - I'd surmise something like Tramadol or Dihydrocodeine - (interestingly, it was soon withdrawn by the manufacturer, but not for acting like turbo~scurvy on those to whom it was administered, as far as I'm aware). Unfortunately its great 'advantage' was that it lent itself to home brew 'shake - and - bake' manufacture by addicts in sheds and cold water flats, with very easily sourced 'under - the - sink' type chemicals... like ammonia... and lighter fluid. Even things like cigarette ash would be added to the witch's brew, as a kind of buffering agent. Well, what could go wrong?! Even using morphine ampoules that fell off the back of a lorry, and clean 'tools', I've had some horrendous 'dirty hits' that put me on my back for days, and excruciating, purulent abscesses - and that's _factory~grade_ stuff! I remember reading, years ago, now, of the plaintive wish of a Krokodil addict (surely now being echoed by the unfortunates suckered into Tranq~Dope addiction on the other side of the globe) - "Every day, this sh1+! It feels so _dirty!_ What I wouldn't give for some proper Heroin, this? This is _muck!"_ One has to remember, as well - those pictures that you see; those are just the apparent injuries... From what I've heard, the 'drug' has a similar effect on brain matter, ie, _literally_ 'brain rotting', another reason why Krokodil was the _original_ 'Zombie Drug'. Oh and those horrendous flesh wounds that hurt as bad as they look like they hurt - what do you imagine they _smell_ like when dirt gets into them in the oven like Summer heat of the Steppes?! Something that was notable about the Krokodil phenomenon - if it was inadvertently created by government action, arguably benevolent in intent, it was also in the power of the authorities to end it as quickly and easily as they had created it; it was simply a matter of banning over - the - counter sales of pure Codeine. (This is actually what would happen in the end - but it took _years..._ ) One would like to think that maybe the authorities didn't want to act without having the necessary rehabilitation facilities in place to handle the fallout of a shock Codeine drought. Well, I don't live in that part of the World, I don't actually know what their rehab facilities are like; but we all know what cuddly humanitarians Putin and his regime are, so one can draw their own conclusions. Anyway, hopefully that answers the question of "Why do they do it"? It's certainly not the high... Not unless you think that street alcoholics drink the slops from last night's drip trays because they furnish a superior drunk to, say, cognac. As is so often the way with these things, it's about what's available. Anyway, my apologies for 'yapping on' for so long... I shouldn't be surprised if I've driven a good share of those reading to drink, and if some of those who made it this far are in need of rehabilitation services!
I love how Ari's show is very classy but then he goes on JRE and pisses in a bottle.
They're looking at photos of krokodil addicts exposed bones. Classy? 😂
In fairness, piss in a bottle is a great metaphor for JRE..
I will never go see Ari live, this is fine.
You think that’s bad? He just shit on stage in his most recent killtony appearance
Lol, the classiest podcast out there eh?

Idk if he has traveled, but Dusty Slay would be awesome. I'd love to see how you two would get along/talk about!
Good idea. I'll reach out.
So glad i stayed right to the end... shitting in the woods is underrated. Feels so freeing.
I was about to find something to watch halfway through and am also glad I stayed. Found myself really into the second half for no obvious reason
Great to see Ireland pop up again. I was hoping Dan was in my neck of the woods in Westmeath but it's great to hear him pronounce Galway correctly.
As a Belfast local, hearing Dan, an American, correctly pronounce the city name was a little distressing.
rather than belfst and GALway
And whooth hahaha
we refueled in Ireland and when I went to the bar and requested the bartender put booze in a plastic soda bottle for me to bring my friend who was stuck on watch-duty, I had no idea why he stared at me like I was crazy.
Nice of him that he did it anyway.
Look regardless of how you feel about his stand up right now, the best guest you could get is Chappelle talking about Africa after leaving The Chappelle Show.
Van Gough paintings on mushrooms is a defo must do.. I personally recommend Hawaiian muahies
If you take a drink every time Dan touches his nose you will die.

Can confirm Dan's special is legit
Jusr checked Declan Downey still lecturing in UCD, the Trinity UCD joke funny yet true..
"You were a model? Hahaha." That laugh was somehow dark, not just ironic 😂
Great episode!
Ireland was awesome…went about 15 years ago when I was 15. Westport is another great city I had a lot of fun at a bar called Cozy Joes was also smoking on K2 all throughout that place 😂😂😂
Simpler times eh
The Cliffs of Moher are not in Galway
Ah he was close enough. Sure I thought they were in Mayo. Still haven't seen them either.😂
County Clare here... ye can have the cliffs if you want. None of massive revenue is injected back into local infrastructure. Visit Slieve League cliffs in Donegal, way better.
That shopify ad was GOLD!
Great episode ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
We be trippin yea!!🖤💛✈️✌️
Oh. A good guest this week that will be good whether they talk about the trip or not.
This will be the first podcast I started from episode 1 and will watch all the way through until it's done.
agreed
Ari you MUST have Bobby Kelly on to discuss Cuba
When did he go?
@youbetrippinpod is this a trick question?
Guinness is better because it isn't pasteurized. The butter is also great.
Dan's great. Fab listen. Thanks.
i can already tell this one gonna be good
Oh hella bells I forgot it was Monday, and forgot it would be so much better starting off with an episode of Trippin' !!! Much love 🤣🥴😂🤢🤮🤷🤣✌️🍄💚😁🐺
Thank you for blessing my work dump with you be trippin. Will I watch the whole thing in here. Probably
Dan says the word “like” more times than this video has likes.

if i could offer one piece of advice: add another light, it's a bit dark
As a video editor , the shadows were stressing me out lol. Need a top light Airy.
Ireland 🇮🇪 aaaaah it has my heart ❤️
Dan is wearing the actual national colour 🤣.. blue.
Ari, next time you are in Dublin check out the Palace bar on edge of Temple Bar it was a legendary haunt for writers, journalists like Brendan Behan..
Buckfast bottle was a nice touch ❤

You Be Trippin'-- the only good thing about Mondays!
Krokdil is a synthetic opiod. Like fentanyl, but way cooler from the looks of it.
It's probably similar to the tranq/fent.
Dope stuff.
I would love to listen to someone in their 20s who just got done traveling for a few months of the pod
What a great episode. Cant wait to get to Ireland
Yoshi needs an episode.
Do you mean the guy who has a feud with Dvid Choe? Because that would be great. He's one interesting fella.
Andrew Dice Clay as a guest
Great episode, shall check out Dan's special. That incident where he talks about being surrounded by people chanting "IRA" just sounds like a group of (probably drunk) lads taking the piss. That sectarian stuff isn't really a thing in Dublin.
Nah you're more into your full-blown racist shit in jackeen town.
How many times has Dan been to rehab? I swear on a Sceptic Tank ep he just got out too.
He’s either fresh out or about to go back in. He’s a complete and utter mess.
Remember when Rogan tried to talk Ari out of doing a travel centric podcast. He be trippin, amiright?
Why don’t you have Matthew Logan Thompson on from Mooresville Nc… he hasn’t traveled a lot but seems like a great guy to be on the podcast

Cliffs of moher are nice and all but lad the whole coast is full of beautiful spots that are free, fun and a touch dangerous. U just have to find em
The ads are fucked thanks for the episode
Great pod because I don't have to hear about politics, other comedian's acts, X, or gender issues. 🙏🏻
Not really a comedian but you should bring in Nolan from Seal on tour. Great stories from all over the world :]
Guest request comedian Ryan O’Flanagan he is a very funny comic out of LA that needs to get on a big podcast to boost his presence. I know he recently was in Mexico City and that could make for an interesting travel episode
1:06:17 👌🏽 great f*cking advice
Who gets waterboarded in the Jeff Dunham political prisoner… the puppet or the man… 😂 or is it both at the same time.

Check out big wave surf vids off cliffs of Moher, epic stuff!
Ya, Ari stay away from Dublin, go to Cork, Waterford, Galway and/or Limerick
Dan is unhinged
Dark lighting on this one
We need to hear Kam Patterson’s take on rural white America!
Take a shot every time he rubs his nose.
