Ari Shaffir's Skeptic Tank

Or as I wanted to call it *Airhorn Sound* Cipha Sounds came over to the studio to talk about his days as a DJ on Hot97 in New York. He explained to me, the whitest Jew boy in the world, what hip hop is, and how he embraces it as his culture. He also told me how he broke artists to the public such as Rick Ross and Rihanna... Oh and that he basically invented the airhorn sound.   For more Ari:  Subscribe on YouTube  Join Ari's Patreon Follow Ari on Instagram - @arishaffir Shop Merch  Ari Shaffir | Linktree   2022 Tour Dates & Tickets  02/17 | Denver - Shows Added!  03/25 | Grand Rapids 03/26 | Detroit 03/31 | Appleton, WI 04/21 | St. Louis 04/28 | Buffalo   For more Cipha: Instagram - @ciphasounds Twitter - @ciphasounds http://ciphasounds.com/  Catch The Chemistry Set with Cipha Sounds and Wil Sylvince at the Comedy Cellar every Wednesday night!

Jamar Neighbors joined me on tour in Phoenix and told me all about growing up in Compton. Told me how he threw rocks at crack heads, beat people up, and almost got recruited to be in a gang but we both decided it's too much of a commitment. You gotta dress the same and they never give you time off.  Make sure to listen till the end for Jamar's full album on Soundcloud.

Mark Normand and Sam Morril came over to the Skeptic Tank studios to have a nice sober conversation with me about why they’re all better off without alcohol. And then somebody found the whisky. This was a 2 hour long progressively drunker and drunker podcast about alcohol itself. How we started, where we first barfed, puke and rally theories, hangovers, favorite drinks, and on and on and on until blackouts were had by all.  For more Ari:  Subscribe on YouTube  Join Ari's Patreon  Shop Merch  Follow Ari on Instagram - @arishaffir  Ari Shaffir - Linktree   2022 Tour Dates & Tickets  02/08 | NYC: Ari Shaffir’s Renamed Storyteller Show  02/11 | Tampa  02/17 | Denver  03/25 | Grand Rapids 03/26 | Detroit 03/31 | Appleton, WI  Follow We Might Be Drunk!  Watch We Might Be Drunk on YouTube Listen on Apple Podcasts  We Might Be Drunk on Patreon  Instagram - @wemightbedrunk    For more Mark: Instagram - @marknormand  Twitter - @marknorm  Upcoming Shows    Watch Mark on the new season of The Standups - Netflix Offi

Steve Rannazzisi came over to the new studio to talk about how much we hate winter and a bunch of other random things like the new Jackass and what podcast would have the dumbest listeners. It's a fun one.  Don't forget to get your tickets to Ari Shaffir's Renamed Storyteller Show at the Gramercy Theatre on February 8th. Crazy surprise lineup you're not gonna want to miss.

Liberal mouthpiece Joe Rogan, and I guess heterosexual comedian Tony Hinchcliffe met me at a gun range in Texas to shoot the poop and tell stories about the past while Tony caressed his new girlfriend. We took some questions from my Patreon to keep us going while listening to the manly sounds of murder tools going off in the distance. Both Tony and Joe are about to get that Skeptic Tank bump! So look for them to breakthrough on the scene in the near future. This was actually supposed to be just me and Tony on this one but Joe showed up and we figured it’d be nice to at least have one gram of testosterone on the pod.  For more Ari:  Subscribe on YouTube  Listen to Skeptic Tank Join Ari's Patreon  Shop Merch  Follow Ari on Instagram - @riparishaffir  Ari Shaffir - Linktree   2022 Tour Dates & Tickets  01/21 | Phoenix 02/08 | NYC: Ari Shaffir’s Renamed Storyteller Show  02/11 | Tampa  02/17 | Denver  02/27 | Vancouver 03/25 | Grand Rapids 03/26 | Detroit 03/31 | Appleton, WI    For more Joe: The Joe Rogan E

Sarah Tollemache and ever-fatter former non-steroid winner of Sober October Ari Shaffir sit on a treadmill in a gym they’ll never use to go over ways they’re going to no way change about themselves this year. Sarah is on the phone like 160 hours a day. And I haven't come up with a decent new resolution in a decade. They’re two losers who are fine with it, shooting the poop about what you guys need to do better in the coming year. This one is best listened to in a church confessional booth.

Nate Marshall and I talk about how we both kind of feel the media is turning everybody on each other. We kept it funny, relaxed. Nate watched so much TV and read so much social media during the BLM protests that he could feel his worldview changing toward the negative. We were both thinking about these ideas when we met last summer and we immediately traded stories and ideas on it. Now we’re both kind of feeling that our thoughts are no longer our own. But for real, we kept it light. It’s a great fun conversation. I wish I could talk to more people like this about far-out ideas and subjects without any worry about emotions flaring up. Almost everyone I know is just about on the same side of most issues. So it’s wild that we’re at each other's throats so much. Even comedians! We’re a tiny group of fringe entertainers and we’ve somehow invented divisions among ourselves that have standup comedians hating other standup comedians! Nobody even fucked anybody’s girlfriend! It’s just people in a tiny group, hating o

Emma Willman and I talk about women. What they like. And a loooooot about what they don’t like. It was a funny conversation that I really could only have with a chick who dates chicks. Emma’s standup is hilarious and she’s constantly ranting about how much girls annoy her. I’m sure you guys have your own gripes. Feel free to let me know about them. See Ari on the road!

Joe List came over to argue with me about music. For real Joe is top 3 or 4 comics into music. He’s got great taste and he loves going to live shows even more than I do. And I really really love going to live shows. He does it sober all the time which is crazy to me, but that goes to show you how much he likes music. Legit though, all we really disagree on is whether Pearl Jam and Nirvana are great or just really good.  The intro is a manic recounting of the last two concerts I went to. If you’re listening to this on Spotify or Apple Podcasts, put your phone on speaker and don’t look at it again till the music is done.  Follow Joe: Instagram Twitter Tuesdays With Stories Tuesdays With Stories on Patreon December 22 - The Secret Group, Houston   YouTube: https://bit.ly/ShaffirYT  Listen to Skeptic Tank: https://bit.ly/libsyn-skeptic  Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arishaffir  Upcoming shows & tickets: http://www.arishaffir.com/tour/  Merch: https://bit.ly/arimerch  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/

Comedians and Beach Cops Ryan Oneill and Jeff Danis join me at a park in Los Angeles right outside an area where all the homeless people of Los Angeles take their malnourished dumps. It stunk so bad. The flies were not as unbearable as the stench that brought them. It’s always a great time with the D&O! We saw vapid LA morons unicycle by looking for attention any way they can get it, as is the way in Los Angeles. It’s a horrible town. And we’ve seen it turn our friends into soulless mental patients with enough money to somehow avoid being committed.  I think we also saw the beginning of a guerilla porn shoot in the woods. That and a tremendous moment where it was all O'neill could do to stop from trying to kill a deer with the blade he keeps tucked between his balls.  The title is a metaphor for how tenuous it is to navigate life in Hollywood without losing your humanity. Fun pod!  For more Danish & O’Neill:  Listen to the Danish & O’Neill Podcast! Apple Podcasts:  Spotify Twitter Instagram F

I attended skateboarder and standup comedian Dave Chappelle’s screening of his movie at Madison Square Garden. And MAN! What a show. I really thought it was just going to be a movie screening. But why would I expect that for $100+ per ticket? No, Chappelle put on a show. Comedians, musicians, Jeff Ross. Folks! I wish you all could’ve been there. It was a really fun night. Please make sure to watch Dave Chappelle on Netflix today. He needs the views. And also watch my special on Netflix, Double Negative. It’s not 2 specials like Dave’s, it’s a double special.    For more Ari: Tour dates: http://www.arishaffir.com/tour/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arishaffir Merch: https://bit.ly/arimerch Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/arishaffir/ The Music: Tobe Nwigwe- I'M DOPE H.E.R ft.

We got a whopper! Comedian and mom Ms Pat join comedian and America’s dad Bob Saget, comedian and dad Rich Vos, comedian and father of a son who loves me more than him Robert Kelly, and fatherless multi-time abortionist, me, as they talk about what it’s like to have and raise a child. We cover such important topics as when to beat your children (Pat and I agree on this one but I probably say to do it more than she says), the hemorrhoids women get during childbirth (I am a mother in this way), and what it’s like at Ms. Pat’s house with all her lesbo and hetero kids running around. Saget and I had both been over there. I got crushed at spades by her daughter and Bob had narrowly escaped getting beaten up after being mistaken for a banker.  This was recorded live at Skankfest South, the greatest comedy festival on the earthly planet. It is a pure expression of the joy of live comedy. Get tickets to next year’s event. I won’t be there. Big announcement of how I beat covid during the intro. And stay tuned for the

Comedian Shane Gillis and Comedian Mark Normand take a ride with me, known child abductor, further and further away from the liberal safety of Austin and closer and closer to the sexy dangers of La Grange.  We talk about our appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast the day before as well as above ground pools, the Drake burn rap, Shane’s disgust that he’s even doing this, my terrible driving, Shane’s horrible fat fat fat body, my excellent shape for such a young man, and Mark just sits in the back and fires shots and butt trumpet songs at the front seat like a true American sniper.    Follow Shane: Instagram Twitter More!

Modern love guru Jared Freid talks to me, a renowned late pull outer, about the dating scene, what can be improved on the apps, his successes, and failures with romance, and his hatred of charcuterie boards. I go off during the intro about my own sexual mishaps with Tinder and why these dating apps are worse for society than a billion nose jobs.  Second show added in Salt Lake City.

Recovering coke enthusiast and comedian Chloe LaBranche tells me about all her many trips to rehab. This one was WILD. So many great stories from Chloe about a world that’s waaaay interesting and for some reason never really gets talked about too much. At 16 Chloe lived cooler than I do right now. I'm a dork. Your podcast host is a dork compared to this lady. It was a really fun episode by someone who’s willing to share everything without worried about being judged, which is everybody’s favorite type of podcast host. I go over the Chappelle/Netflix situation in the intro. Finally, a network executive has put into words that standup comedy is an art form and shouldn’t be regulated by anyone. Let’s hope this creates a new standard and allows all network execs to follow the amazing lead of Ted Sorandos and just leaves us alone to agitate some while entertaining the people who sign up to be entertained. Everybody else can take your anti-art stance and move into your place alongside the Taliban as they blow up ant

Former Jehovah’s Witness Doug Smith and I talk about the Jehovahs. They. Are. Weird. Doug got raised in it when his mom decided some guy at her front door had great points. Parents never run it by their kids when they decide to join some cult. They always just sign everybody up for it without even a chance to weigh in. Anyway, it was a funny discussion of one of the world’s most interesting sects of Christianity. I guess those snake handlers might have them beat. And the Shakers. Did you know the Shakers let their prepubescent boys practice pulling out on post-menopausal women? Also, they made great furniture. So I guess top 5 of weird Christians would be Jehovah’s Witnesses, Mormons, Shakers, Snake handlers, and the Amish. Damn. That gives me 4 ideas for new podcasts. More from Doug!

Mat Edgar, Ryan O'Neill, and I talked about our adventure in the woods for the final day of the greatest summer of my life. We found one of the coolest, most remote, wildernessy, beautiful, amazing, relaxing places I’ve ever stayed at. I wish I could’ve taken you all with me. But it’d be weird if I did. Mostly because there wouldn’t have been enough Raniers to go around. But also the smell of poop would’ve been overwhelming. Counterpoint, though. Maybe I could’ve pooped on someone’s poop. Either way, I’m taking you there if you close your eyes and use your imagination. This is the way I share my experiences with you. And this was an amazing one. I already want to go back. This summer lasted about 19 months for me this year. So I was sad to see it go. But it also made me remember all the great times I had. The beautiful sunsets I witnessed. The intro was actually kind of emotional for me. It really makes me want to get lost again. Just go live out my days on a beach. But… I got jokes about child death to tell

Yannis Pappas came over to my house to talk about the greatest baseball game ever attended. But it turns out I'm a terrible podcast host and as much as Yannis tried to get to the topic we agreed on, I just kept missing the hints. So this ended up just being two friends joking around for 3 hours. I mean, you’d think after 10 years this guy would have learned how not to do this. Just real rookie stuff dude.
