Ari & Joe Go On A Hike

Date: 2017-07-18 | Duration: 1h 32m

Episode Overview

Joe records a special outdoor episode with his close friend and comedian Ari Shafir, timing it to coincide with the release of Ari's new Netflix special. The conversation is raw and unfiltered — recorded during a hike, with Joe wearing a 45-pound weighted pack — and covers Ari's extended backpacking trip through Southeast Asia, internet cafes and Gmail two-factor paranoia in remote Indonesia, tick diseases that cause meat allergies, Lyme disease fears, weed legalization in the Pacific Northwest, and the joy of spending time together in nature. The episode has the casual intimacy of two old friends hanging out rather than a formal interview, eventually winding down with talk of UFC at Madison Square Garden and plans to reunite. A love letter to male friendship and the healing power of getting outside.
