The Adam Friedland Podcast is a talk show created by New York City-based comedians Adam Friedland and Nick Mullen.
The podcast typically opens with a metafictional sketch involving Friedland and Mullen discussing the show and its production, including their feud with fictional producer Dracula (played by Mullen.) The sketch is followed by a monologue in which Friedland comments on recent events.
The monologue is followed by a conversation between Friedland and the guest.
Featured guests include astronomer and science communicator Neil deGrasse Tyson, businessman Dave Portnoy, musicians Mac DeMarco and Matty Healy, rapper Jadakiss, and journalist Chris Cuomo. Additionally, podcasters Will Menaker and Brace Belden, comedians Rick Glassman, Jordan Jensen, Brandon Wardell, and Chris Distefano, as well as Jackass star Steve-O and singer Matty Healy have appeared as guests on the weekly podcast.
This week, Adam and Nick are joined by stand-up comedian Ari Shaffir for an in-depth conversation that will keep laughing every step of the way.
Ari Shaffir: Ari Shaffir is best known for the storytelling show he created and hosted on Comedy Central called This Is Not Happening. His last Netflix special, Double Negative, won a Grammy for best comedy special before the award committee realized it was too filthy and didn’t represent the high standards that the Grammy’s has long since stood for, so the honor was stripped from him. Ari has had numerous appearances on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, as well as WTF with Marc Maron, The Adam Carolla show, and Your Mom’s House. His own podcast, Ari Shaffir’s Skeptic Tank is a chart topper that comes out every week wherever you watch or listen to podcasts. He is the reigning president of the LOS podcast to which he has no affiliation. And he placed first in the non-steroid category of the legendary Sober October challenge, which he also destroyed shortly thereafter.
The deal is, this is a dirty show. It’s not all offensive but definitely some parts are offensive. So don’t bring that one friend in your friend group who makes that tsk noise a lot. Just tell them you’re doing something else or your grandmother died or your grandmother killed somebody and you gotta be a character witness. Whatever. Just don’t bring them. But everybody else for sure come. Ari puts on a great show every year of all new material and he brings great openers. So, it’s just a really funny night of legit mainstream standup and you’re going to have a great time every time.
