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 | Link...
Feb 15, 2022•2 hr 52 min•Ep 459•Transcript available on Metacast 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.

Feb 08, 2022•3 hr 35 min•Transcript available on Metacast 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.

Feb 01, 2022•2 hr 23 min•Transcript available on Metacast 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.

Jan 25, 2022•2 hr 38 min•Transcript available on Metacast 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 ...
Jan 18, 2022•2 hr 25 min•Transcript available on Metacast 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. Subsc...
Jan 11, 2022•2 hr 45 min•Ep 454•Transcript available on Metacast 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 grea...
Dec 28, 2021•3 hr 45 min•Transcript available on Metacast 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.

Dec 21, 2021•2 hr 1 min•Ep 452•Transcript available on Metacast 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...
Dec 14, 2021•2 hr 49 min•Ep 451•Transcript available on Metacast 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 patie...
Dec 07, 2021•3 hr 46 min•Ep 450•Transcript available on Metacast 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 N...

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), an...
Nov 16, 2021•2 hr 37 min•Transcript available on Metacast 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 t...
Nov 09, 2021•2 hr 2 min•Transcript available on Metacast 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. The first one sold out in 3 days. So if you wanted to go, you better get tickets now. Boston at the Wilbur Theater ...

Oct 25, 2021•2 hr 4 min•Ep 445•Transcript available on Metacast 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...
Oct 18, 2021•2 hr 13 min•Transcript available on Metacast 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 th...
Oct 11, 2021•3 hr 36 min•Transcript available on Metacast 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...
Oct 04, 2021•3 hr 36 min•Ep 442•Transcript available on Metacast Comedian and Air Force vet Chris Alan came over to tell me, famous draft dodger, about his time in the armed forces.

Sep 27, 2021•3 hr 42 min•Transcript available on Metacast 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. Totally unprofessional. Follow Yannis! Instagram Twitter LongDays with Yannis Pappas: Liste...
Sep 13, 2021•3 hr 30 min•Ep 440•Transcript available on Metacast John Hastings and I talk about car accidents on a fun episode of Skeptic Tank. John has been in a dozen accidents so he’s got a lot of experience. And I have hit and run over 34 people in my life, many of those resulted in fatalities. So I can’t quite fully join in because of an antiquated statute of limitations rule in the state many of these “crimes” took place, but I've still got some stories left over. Follow John!

Aug 30, 2021•2 hr 13 min•Transcript available on Metacast Eleanor Kerrigan comes over to talk about the glory days of the Comedy Store. Eleanor and Ari were employees of the Store together at the turn of the century. That sounds weird but it’s true. Are we old? Am I old? Is the only thing keeping me young a steady flow of mind-altering substances and laughs from live audiences? Or is it just the general utter lack of responsibility? My friends from high school look like you should call them sir. I look like a guy you’d find sleeping on your lawn on a w...
Aug 23, 2021•3 hr 57 min•Ep 437•Transcript available on Metacast Greg Fitzsimmons and Ari Shaffir go on a deep dive into forbidden acts of love in this public Patreon episode of Ari Shaffir’s Skeptic Tank. The boys, victims of generational inbreeding of different styles, take Patreon submitted stories and questions about trouble with the law which leads them down the taboo road of adult breastfeeding. It’s a very special episode of Ari’s podcast and one which will go down in history as the reason neither of these overgrown children will be allowed into heaven...
Aug 16, 2021•2 hr 43 min•Transcript available on Metacast Standup comedian and retired rooster fighter Rojo Perez sits down with Standup comedian and rooster fight enthusiast Ari Shaffir to talk about cockfighting. Futu Manu in Tetum. Pelea De Gallos in Spanish. Probably some other names in other languages. Rojo entered his pet into one when he was a small boy in Puerto Rico. Too young to be doing stuff like that. Ari went to his when he was 43 in Timor Leste. Rojo Perez is now a small man so he has distance and age to help him look back on his cockfig...
Aug 09, 2021•2 hr 28 min•Transcript available on Metacast Star of the League, shoplifter, and standup comedian Steve Rannazzisi talks to tagged stealer of Netflix passwords, and standup comedian Ari Shaffir about breaking the law. These two friends of 20 years riff on Patreon submitted stories of run-ins with the police. There’s a great story about eluding military police. It’s part of a series called “Arresting Content” that Ari usually does as one of his selections on patreon.com/AriShaffir. Once every month or two the Skeptic Tank is having one of t...
Jul 26, 2021•2 hr 48 min•Transcript available on Metacast Former fatty and current standup comedian Ari Shaffir talks to world-renowned weight fluctuator and comedian Maddy Smith about her massive weight gains and losses and then gains again and then losses and then pass outs and then weight gains and then anorexia and then back to normal. Nobody gives better weight loss tips than anorexics and Maddy has some great advice if you’re trying to shed a few pounds. I mean, don’t be anorexic, but also definitely do listen to their ideas on weight loss becaus...
Jul 19, 2021•2 hr 23 min•Transcript available on Metacast Comedian and homosexual child predator Luis Gomez talks to pot-stirrer and comedian Ari Shaffir about his old days selling comedy tickets to classless tourists in Times Square. The stories were WILD. Stories of sex and violence and an early Kurt Metzger. The podcast starts inside and then moves outdoors to Times Square to try and find some of these hustlers still working the beat. Plus Luis tries to make some sales himself to these idiots and even makes one. If this doesn’t want to make you go t...

Comedian Brendan’s Sagalow and standup comedian Mile Cannon talk to standup comedian and creator of This is Not Happening Ari Shaffir about the dark arts of the baking world.
