You Be Trippin'

Follow Yoshi on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/yoshiobayashi/ On this week's episode of You Be Trippin', Ari Shaffir talks to Yoshi Obayashi about his trip to Kabul, Afghanistan. Going in, Yoshi thought there was a real chance he might die. Instead, he found a country full of welcoming people, wild stories, and a reality that didn't match what he'd been told. From meeting Taliban members and visiting Panjshir Valley to finding the best hash in Kabul and learning how to safely travel through one of the world's most misunderstood countries. If you've ever been curious about what the country is actually like beyond the headlines, this episode is for you.خدا حافظ You Be Trippin' Ep. 124 https://www.instagram.com/arishaffir https://www.instagram.com/youbetrippinpod https://arishaffir.com Chapters 00:00:00 - Intro 00:03:13 - Believing I was going to die visiting Afghanistan 00:07:32 - Meeting The Right People For Afghanistan 00:09:10 - Bringing American Idol To The Taliban 00:12:18 - How To Do Your Homework For "Dangerous" Travel 00:22:21 - Fecal Air In Afghanistan 00:27:12 - Going To Panjshir, Afghanistan 00:31:39 - Meeting Interesting People In Kabul 00:35:59 - Finding Drugs In Kabul 00:43:49 - Visiting The Largest Prison In Afghanistan 00:50:43 - Different Social Norms 01:01:43 - The Bathrooms Of Kabul 01:10:49 - The Dining Culture Of Afghanistan 01:12:11 - Sport Bans Lead To Dog Fighting 01:15:53 - Falling Into A Sewer 01:18:55 - The News Doesn't Show You The Full Truth 01:24:12 - Pornhubs Influence On The Middle East 01:26:22 - The REAL Asian Hate 01:28:30 - Afghanistan Wants Ari Shaffir 01:32:55 - Handling Conflicts With The Right Mindset 01:38:41 - The Do's And Dont's Of Afghanistan 01:48:21 Yoshi's Leaving For Switzerland 01:56:56 Outro Learn more about your ad choices.

By day, Che soaks in the culture. By night, he learns about Japan’s niche nightlife, including a place where you can rent a “Japanese girlfriend” experience, and a seven-story adult store packed with toys and figurines. Through all of it, Che eats the best food of his entire life. Sayonara!
