On this week’s episode of You Be Trippin’, Ari Shaffir sits down with Earle Birney to revisit his wild trip to New Zealand in the ’90s; back when he was a wandering hippie hustling psychedelics. One bad break turns his adventure into an 18-month stint in a Kiwi prison, where he deals with terrible food, heavy gang activity, knife fights, and cranky guards. Earle tells Ari about sneaking in a little greenery, making a joke of kangaroo court, and meeting his unforgettable prison bestie, Caveman. By the end, he explains how discovering Buddhism behind bars flipped his whole world and eventually led him to become a meditation and philosophy teacher.
