0:00.0	Hello and welcome to Ari Shafir's Skeptic Tank Podcast. Today it's a good one. It's a good
0:07.0	all-fashioned album commentary breakdown of my special Ari Shafir Jew. That's right everybody.
0:14.9	I'm doing my own special. You might have seen these with Tom Sagore, Bert Kreyshire, Joe Rogan,
0:20.0	Steve Simone, Kyle Kanane. I forget who else I did it with but I've done a lot of them.
0:24.8	Just breakdown an album or now a special idea with Rogan. I actually did a special too.
0:33.4	I'm doing an introduction beforehand because this became a two-part episode because it was so long.
0:40.6	Since it's a breakdown of Ari Shafir Jew, I couldn't have thought of two places better to do it.
0:45.4	The first half will be from Berlin, Germany. Oh, I don't know if you know the history there with Jews
0:50.4	from Germany. Second place, the place will be from Bucharest, Romania. I don't know if you know
0:55.1	the history of Romania, but my people. My people are from Romania. They would have still been there
1:00.3	if not for the weak defensive of the Romanian army against the Germans. Yeah, although if they were
1:06.5	even weaker, defenses I wouldn't be alive. So let's call it even. Yeah, first half from Germany,
1:12.4	second half from Romania. Oh, that's going to be sweet. So here's what you should know in analyzing
1:19.0	this episode. Here's something I didn't fully say in the in Berlin, but I should have and you should
1:26.1	understand this. Number one, this special is a stand-up comedy special. That's all it is. Not a one
1:31.6	man show. It's not a one-man show in that no stand-up comedy specials of a man show or in that they
1:36.6	all are to be honest. Men do it. Women do it too. Now women are doing all these men jobs. I don't like it.
1:46.1	Second thing you should know is that it is a response to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. I went there
1:53.1	in 2015, I think, 2014 maybe, and it opened up my eyes to this Edinburgh style theme hour. I liked it.
2:00.7	I liked it a lot because it spoke to me as my English major. In English major, we did theme essays.
2:08.2	You know, first paragraph is thesis statement, introduction to what you're going to talk about.
2:13.9	Next three paragraphs are proof proof proof of that thesis. Last paragraph is a conclusion.
