Summary

Sam Tripoli, Jason Rouse, and Chris Neff joined me, Ari Shaffir, in the old phone room at the Comedy Store to talk about the comedy tour we all went on 2 years prior. It was one of the funnest months of my life. It was the opposite of any road gig I've ever done. We drove from gig to gig, we slept 3 to a room at cheap motels and we did a lot of drugs. Join us as we recap the adventure.

0:00.0	Staring monsters, super creeps, keep me running, running, scared
0:15.0	Staring monsters, super creeps, keep me running, running, scared
0:30.0	In October of 2010, I went on this comedy tour. It's low, low budget comedy tour
0:37.0	where me and three friends decided to rent a suburban and just head up the coast.
0:44.0	We went to Phoenix first in San Diego, LA, and then the fucking real cities in California.
0:50.0	We went to the coast, joining us with two guys who are not going to be on this podcast
0:58.0	but we'll see who is our roadie, slash groupie, slash bag boys, slash driver,
1:04.0	slash hurrah man, and Patrick Appalino, our videographer, perhaps the worst videographer of all time
1:11.0	who later knocked up his girlfriend and decided against all odds and advice
1:17.0	to carry the baby to term and now he's saddled with a fucking daughter that can't believe he's trying to raise as a 21-year-old
1:26.0	it's ridiculous. Anyway, so it's myself, Sam Tripoli, Jason Rouse, and Chris Neff.
1:33.0	We're all kind of sick of doing nothing in LA, being nobody's. So we decided to set out across this great coast all the way up away from Mexico
1:43.0	and do comedy in little shitty gigs, in bigger gigs, and just try to see if we can fucking pay our way through this trip with our stand-up.
1:56.0	It was fun. It was a lot of fun, and it was a lot of fucking pain, and so we got everybody back before guys,
2:02.0	not the driver's slash videographer, and we just sort of reminisced and talked about it.
2:09.0	So I hope you guys like it. It's been two years and fucking a lot's changed. Jason Rouse is almost always in Europe now.
2:16.0	He's here sometimes, but barely. Yeah, it's just fucking, I don't know, it's weird to think there was just two years ago.
2:24.0	So here it is. Let me say some dates really quickly. If you don't mind, by the way, the shows in DC, as you may be able to tell if my voice were amazing.
2:32.0	Sad and I fucking sold out the first show, nearly sold out the second show. It was just great. It was just a great show. Good crowds.
2:39.0	I'd like that room.
2:41.0	Alright, so in October, the first is my next storyteller show. This is not happening. Presents.
2:47.0	What do we call it? It's all wedding stories. What do I call it? I forgot. Oh, forever hold your peace. Kevin Christie will have another poster.
