On this week’s You Be Trippin’, Ari Shaffir sits down with Andrew Callaghan — the creator of All Gas No Brakes and master of the man-on-the-street interview. Andrew talks about life on the road, meeting America’s wildest characters, and his new project exploring dying languages and dialects across the country. They break down Andrew’s ranking system for U.S. cities (from tourist traps to total wastelands), the realities of gentrification, RV life, and Nigerian scammers. The episode wraps with a deep dive into the evolution of All Gas No Brakes and Andrew's true feelings about his impact on the man-on-the-street style of interviewing. Smell You Later!
