Chris and Erik sit down with Sam Tripoli and talk the Kobe conspiracy guy and whether Kobe was into the occult or just about to sue a pharmaceutical company, LeBron's Boulé tattoo, Sam getting asked if he's gay in an MTV pitch meeting, why LeBron and the Rolling Stones are still performing, Sam's core beliefs that people conspire, all culture is fake, and the world is run by literal sorcerers, the Statue of Liberty secretly being Lucifer, doing comedy tours during Covid and finding out the Portland riots were 30 people in a park, Trump's America 250 event that nobody knew about, staying happy while being cursed with knowledge, social media rewarding negativity and Tim Heidecker going after Tony Hinchcliffe, Tony making it as a door guy when he wasn't supposed to, system entertainers versus building it outside the industry, Sam bombing at Montreal in 2000 and spiraling into addiction, the crowd work debate and how it's really just freestyle rappers accessing a database, comment cards at comedy clubs, shadow bans and tombstone algorithms, Netflix podcasts losing their numbers, Elvis energy and comics who sell their souls, Nate Bargatze going clean, Chris and Nate shooting their Comedy Central half hours on the same night, telling a young comic he doesn't have "the show," the Comedy Store's savage midnight third show, roasting the lead singer of Cage the Elephant without knowing it, Sam's upcoming dates, and much more!
