Trained by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day.

**Joe Rogan** (0:12)
You know what you are on my phone?

**Ari Shaffir** (0:14)
What?

**Joe Rogan** (0:14)
Ari the Wanderer.

**Ari Shaffir** (0:16)
That's a new phone number.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:19)
That's not bad.

**Joe Rogan** (0:19)
That's a new number. That's what you are. I was telling you last night, I thought it was in Mexico City, but we had a report that you were at an Oasis concert in Mexico City, and you said no, it was in Rio.

**Ari Shaffir** (0:30)
São Paulo.

**Joe Rogan** (0:31)
São Paulo? Okay, so it was in Brazil. So we know and knew where you were. You were gone for how many months? Six?

**Ari Shaffir** (0:38)
Seven.

**Ari Shaffir** (0:39)
Jesus Christ.

**Joe Rogan** (0:41)
How many times have you done that now?

**Ari Shaffir** (0:44)
I guess three, although when I went to Ecuador, I was very much in touch with everybody. So it was like...

**Joe Rogan** (0:49)
That was a halfway.

**Ari Shaffir** (0:50)
That was a halfway.

**Joe Rogan** (0:51)
But you were there, you were kind of checked out, but you were in touch.

**Ari Shaffir** (0:54)
I was gone for six months, but I was in touch. I still had numbers. I was still like doing like podcasts and stuff and...

**Joe Rogan** (1:00)
Were you doing them remotely?

**Ari Shaffir** (1:02)
Doing them remotely, yeah. I would do one with Big J and Soder. We did a 21 Jump Street breakdown podcast.

**Ari Shaffir** (1:08)
Yeah, yeah, we were so bored during the pandemic.

**Ari Shaffir** (1:12)
We were like, let's find a show and just get together.

**Joe Rogan** (1:16)
I watched 21 Jump Street.

**Ari Shaffir** (1:18)
First we chose Sex and the City, and then found out gay fucking Ian already had a Sex and the City podcast.

**Ari Shaffir** (1:24)
Ian Fiedanz? Yeah.

**Joe Rogan** (1:25)
Did he really?

**Ari Shaffir** (1:26)
Dude, that guy blows dudes. Obviously he loves Sex and the City.

**Joe Rogan** (1:29)
Well, I guess so.

**Ari Shaffir** (1:30)
So we're like, we don't want to step on his toes, like let's pick another.

**Joe Rogan** (1:33)
He seems like he's straight sometimes.

**Ari Shaffir** (1:35)
He does.

**Joe Rogan** (1:36)
It's weird. Like is he only gay?

**Ari Shaffir** (1:39)
No, no, he fucks. He fucks better than we ever did.

**Ari Shaffir** (1:43)
For women.

**Joe Rogan** (1:44)
Women?

**Ari Shaffir** (1:45)
Yeah.

**Ari Shaffir** (1:45)
Okay.

**Joe Rogan** (1:46)
He gets it. But then he went to guys?

**Ari Shaffir** (1:48)
He's a new breed, he's a new breed of just like.

**Joe Rogan** (1:51)
When did he go to guys? Is that a new thing?

**Ari Shaffir** (1:53)
I think he battled with it for a while.

**Joe Rogan** (1:55)
Oh, okay, so he was fucking girls but hating them? God, I wish he were a guy. Like that kind of a deal?

**Ari Shaffir** (2:00)
Yeah, I guess. Then he went to glory holes and he was saying he wasn't gay. I'm like, bro, that's one of the biggest signs of a gay.

**Joe Rogan** (2:07)
So you just stick your dick in the hole or you suck the dick that comes out of the hole? Was he the glory giver or the glory taker?

**Ari Shaffir** (2:14)
You're asking me questions I don't know. I always assumed in my head it was he was sucking dudes off, but I'm actually not sure.

**Joe Rogan** (2:22)
Yeah, interesting, right?

**Ari Shaffir** (2:23)
It's interesting.

**Joe Rogan** (2:24)
Yeah, because if the dick comes through the hole, if you ever want to suck a dick but I don't want to look a guy in the eyes, I just want to know what it's like and see if I'm good at it.

**Ari Shaffir** (2:31)
Yeah, I don't want to be embarrassed in front of anybody. They're going to recognize me later. I just want to work on my technique.

**Joe Rogan** (2:36)
Yeah, I just want to find out if I'm right.

**Ari Shaffir** (2:41)
I need more research.

**Ari Shaffir** (2:43)
Not enough data points.

**Joe Rogan** (2:44)
Yeah, so you didn't even ask him which side of the glory hole he was on?

**Ari Shaffir** (2:49)
I think I was so overwhelmed by this heterosexual dude who was telling me he was the glory holes.

**Joe Rogan** (2:54)
And so then he was heterosexual. This is back in the day.

**Ari Shaffir** (2:57)
We did a podcast, my old podcast, on the way down to like somewhere.
