Summary
Felipe welcomes Ari Shaffir. A veteran of the LA comedy scene and the creator of the Comedy Central storytelling series This Is Not Happening, Ari has become a leading voice in independent comedy. He famously bypassed traditional networks to self distribute his 2022 special Jew on YouTube, where it has earned over 12 million views and set a new standard for self released specials. He’s hanging out with Felipe and Dustin this week to talk about his travel podcast You Be Trippin', his recent 7 month backpacking trip, and his brand new 7 part storytelling event, The End, which is out now on his YouTube channel and whatever else is on his mind.
