Hey guys, it's Ari Sharfair. Before I start today's episode with Duncan Trus, I want to tell you

about my new storytelling stand-up show called The End. It is the end of what you might know is Arie's renamed storytelling show. Before that, it was called This Is Not Happening. Before that, it was called Ari's Storytelling Show. I brought it back. And it's available right now at Arie Shafir.com. You can get a single one hour-long episode for $5.99. Or, if you buy five, you can get two for free.

So if you buy it, I would say buy the entire season, you're supporting not just me and my endeavor to make great, creative, high, high level stand-up comedy.

You're all supporting the comics.

You're putting money in Duncan Trussell's pocket if you buy this show.

And it's not just a donation.

You're getting something amazing for it.

And I know, it's tough.

Not everybody can afford, you know, 30 bucks for anything.

It's not for you.

But for those people who have money for entertainment,

this is less than the price of any stand-up show for any comic you'll see on the lineup. It's honestly,
