Out on the fire escape with Big Jay Oakerson on a New York summer night. This is an interesting one everybody.

Xylia Buros is a nomad. For the last 6 years, she has been a citizen of the world, traveling from country to country at her own whim. I’m really jealous. I met her in Rolf Potts’s writing class in Paris. So we sat in her Montmartre apartment rental and talked about the nomad lifestyle. She has some great tips on how to make it happen, and some insights into the hurdles she’s had to deal with, and the fun at the end of any of the troubles that make it totally worth it. She really made me want to sell all my stuff and go somewhere exciting and new. Don’t forget to subscribe to this podcast on audio and/or youtube. And tell some friends about it. Leave a comment, why dontcha? Tell me the places you’d go if you had nowhere to get back to. And get ready for 2Comics2Cigars, the new youtube series! It’s 2 comedians smoking a cigar and talking. Nothing mind-blowing. But it should be fun. I’ll be in most of the first few but pretty soon it’s just gonna be any 2 comics. Sometimes me, sometimes Bobby Kelly, occasionally other people. Gonna be a cool youtube series I think. Skip the people you hate, watch the ones you love. Who cares? Life is short. Let’s go to Cuba.

Hot Girl Noel Leon came to the studio to talk to me about what it was like working as an "Influencer." When she told me that was what she did for a living I was appalled, however now Noel is focused more on comedy and less on influencing people, so we were able to have a really good conversation about how awful it is.

Comedian Anthony Devito who once attended a swingers party and I sat on a plane and talked about Kansas City’s least known underbelly of fat people hook ups. KC is known for their third rate barbecue and second rate jazz but they’re actually number one in multiple sex partners among people who should have no sex partners. This is not the first podcast I’ve done on a plane. There was one a long time ago I did with Joe Rogan. But this is the first one I did with video. It’s wild what you can do when you don’t care about people looking at you weird. You guys can act like the people sitting in front of us looking back at two losers publicly making fun of people getting some nasty.

Former hustler and current standup Ali Siddiq talks with a man who rarely hustles but still does tons of standup Ari Shaffir to talk about all the lessons life gives you. One guy slung dope, the other is one. It's a great conversation from Austin, Texas that brought two cultures together. That taught two peoples about each other. It's a lesson in communication. The boyz realized that words mean different things to different people. But they also realize how similar they were in their upbringing. Even though one dealt drugs, they both remember the space shuttle Challenger explosion. They just kind of had different reactions to it. I'll let you guess which one joked about it as a child and which one thought it was really sad. Ali is one of the best storyteller comedians in the world and he's got a new special out called The Domino Effect which goes a long way towards proving that claim. Check it out now on YouTube.com/AliSiddiq or on his website, AliSiddiq.com.

Comedian Reggie Conquest converted to Islam over the pandemic. He talks to no religion former Jew current jerk comedian Ari Shaffir about how it happened. Reggie read the autobiography of Malcolm X (who would have turned 97 last week) and gained an interest in religion because of what he read in the book. Reggie knows very little about Islam but he does know what he’s going through as a new convert and that’s what we got into here. Also, Reggie is a big boy so that’s where the title comes from. Get it? I think you get it.
