On this week's episode of You Be Trippin', Ari sits down with his friend Ethan McKenzie to reminisce about their trip to Guatemala. Ari met Ethan at a hostel there and they experienced everything Fiesta de Santo Tomas had to offer. Before hitting the festival, they share pictures of the hot springs, beautiful hikes, and the chaotic chicken buses. If you could imagine all the dangerous things about carnivals, multiple that by 100, and it's right there in Chichicastenango, Guatemala for this festival. Booming fireworks pointed right at the crowd and sketchy rides were abundant. Chao!

Josh Wolf joins Ari Shaffir on You Be Trippin to share how he wound up banned from Rosarito. What started as a belt buckle hustle—buying them cheap in Mexico and reselling in L.A. to pay for his wedding—led to border searches, shady strip clubs, and a man named Juan coming to save the day. Adiós!

James is from Australia and has been to NZ many a time, so he's really able to get to the bottom of Kiwi culture. To sum it up: Scrumpy Cider, rugby, and prisoner watching. But that was just a blip of the ep. Buckle in for several unhinged tangents.

Kevin, rolling on molly, thinks he’s been pickpocketed and ends up chasing the wrong guy through the crowd. They admire the outlandish outfits people wear, dive into the history of Carnival and why it takes place, and cover dancing white comics, ridiculous food, group travel disasters, and even a stop at cotton fields. Chaos, comedy, and questionable decision-making guaranteed. Cheerio!
